About machinery; injection-moulding machines, for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials

hs code 847710 covers a critical segment of the manufacturing industry, focusing on injection-molding machines used for processing rubber and plastics. These machines play a vital role in the production of a wide range of consumer and industrial products, from automotive parts to household items. As a key component of the broader plastics and rubber processing machinery market, this industry is closely tied to the performance and growth of various downstream sectors, making it an important contributor to the overall economy.

Production process

The primary production technique for machinery under hs code 847710 is injection molding. This process involves melting and injecting a thermoplastic or thermoset material into a mold, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. The injection-molding machine consists of a hopper to feed the raw material, a heated barrel to melt the material, and a mold to give the final product its form. The mold is then opened, and the finished part is ejected, ready for further processing or assembly.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of machinery under hs code 847710 include raw materials such as thermoplastics (e.g., polypropylene, polyethylene, ABS) and thermosets (e.g., epoxy, polyurethane), as well as specialized components like molds, screws, and barrels. Additionally, these machines require significant capital investment in the form of advanced manufacturing equipment, precision engineering, and skilled labor to operate and maintain the production lines.

Production outputs

The primary output of the industry covered by hs code 847710 is injection-molding machines, which are then used by manufacturers in a wide range of industries to produce a variety of plastic and rubber products. Some of the key downstream industries that consume the output of this industry include 392010 Plastic products, 400000 Rubber and articles thereof, 870000 Vehicles other than railway or tramway rolling stock, and parts and accessories thereof, and 950000 Toys, games and sports requisites; parts and accessories thereof.
