Rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, reinforced only with metal

HS v2022 Code: 401011

About rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, reinforced only with metal

HS code 401011 covers vulcanized rubber conveyor belts or belting that are reinforced only with metal. This industry plays a crucial role in various sectors, including mining, construction, and manufacturing, by providing durable and reliable transportation solutions for heavy materials and goods. As a key component of industrial infrastructure, the production and trade of these rubber products contribute significantly to the global economy.

Production process

The production of rubber conveyor belts or belting reinforced with metal involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber is mixed with various additives, such as carbon black and vulcanizing agents, to enhance its strength, durability, and resistance to wear and tear. The rubber compound is then extruded or calendered into thin sheets, which are then reinforced with metal cords or wires. The reinforced rubber sheets are then cut to size and joined together using specialized techniques, such as splicing or vulcanization, to create the final conveyor belt product.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 401011 products include natural and synthetic rubber, metal reinforcement materials (such as steel cords or wires), and various chemical additives. Additionally, specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanization presses, are essential for the manufacturing process. The availability and quality of these raw materials and equipment play a crucial role in the industry's ability to meet the demand for durable and reliable conveyor belts.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 401011 is vulcanized rubber conveyor belts or belting reinforced with metal. These products are widely used in industries such as 251910 Mining and quarrying, 230110 Manufacture of basic iron and steel, and 281110 Manufacture of basic chemicals, where they are essential for the transportation of heavy materials, goods, and products. The output of this industry may also be consumed by other related HS codes, such as 401012 Rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, reinforced only with textile materials and 401019 Rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, not reinforced or reinforced with other materials.
