Moulding boxes; for metal foundry

HS v2017 Code: 848010

About moulding boxes; for metal foundry

hs code 848010 covers moulding boxes used in metal foundry operations. These specialized containers are essential components in the production of metal castings, playing a crucial role in the manufacturing of a wide range of metal products. The metal foundry industry is a significant contributor to the broader manufacturing sector, providing the raw materials and components necessary for the fabrication of machinery, automotive parts, construction materials, and various other industrial goods.

Production process

Moulding boxes for metal foundry are typically produced through precision engineering and metalworking processes. The manufacturing process often involves the use of computer-aided design (CAD) software to create detailed models of the moulding boxes, followed by computer numerical control (CNC) machining or casting techniques to shape the metal components. The boxes are designed to withstand the high temperatures and pressures associated with the metal casting process, ensuring the accurate and consistent formation of the desired metal parts.

Production inputs

The production of moulding boxes for metal foundry requires a range of inputs, including high-quality metal alloys, such as steel, aluminum, or cast iron, as well as specialized machinery and tools for metalworking. Additionally, the industry relies on advanced manufacturing technologies, such as 847990 Machinery for the industrial preparation or manufacture of food or drink, to ensure the efficient and precise fabrication of these critical components.

Production outputs

The primary output of hs code 848010 is the moulding boxes themselves, which are then used in the metal casting process to produce a wide variety of metal parts and components. These moulding boxes may be consumed by industries such as 848020 Mould bases, 848030 Moulding patterns, and 848040 (Moulds for metal (other than ingot moulds), metal carbides, glass, mineral materials, rubber or plastics), which are all integral to the metal foundry and casting supply chain.
