About machinery; extruders, for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials

hs code 847720 covers a critical segment of the manufacturing industry, focused on the production of machinery and equipment used for extruding and processing rubber and plastics. This machinery plays a vital role in the creation of a wide range of consumer and industrial products, making it an essential component of the broader manufacturing ecosystem. The global market for this type of machinery is substantial, driven by the continued growth and diversification of the plastics and rubber industries worldwide.

Production process

The primary production technique for machinery covered under hs code 847720 is precision engineering and fabrication. Manufacturers utilize advanced computer-controlled machining, welding, and assembly processes to construct the complex components and systems that make up extruders and related equipment. Quality control and testing are crucial steps to ensure the machinery meets rigorous performance and safety standards.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of hs code 847720 machinery include high-grade metals such as steel and aluminum, as well as specialized electronic and hydraulic components. Manufacturers also rely on a skilled workforce of engineers, machinists, and technicians to design, build, and maintain this sophisticated equipment. Additionally, the industry consumes significant amounts of energy, primarily in the form of electricity, to power the manufacturing processes.

Production outputs

The primary output of the hs code 847720 industry is the extruders, dies, and other machinery used for the production of rubber and plastic products. This machinery is then consumed by a wide range of downstream industries, including 392010 Plastics products, 400000 Rubber and articles thereof, and 841920 Machinery; for the treatment of materials by a process involving a change in temperature, such as heating, cooking, roasting, distilling, rectifying, sterilizing, pasteurizing, steaming, drying, evaporating, vaporizing, condensing or cooling, other than machinery or plant of a kind used for domestic purposes; instantaneous or storage water heaters, non-electric.
