Rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, (reinforced with other than metal only or textile materials only)

HS v2022 Code: 401019

About rubber; vulcanised, conveyor belts or belting, (reinforced with other than metal only or textile materials only)

HS code 401019 covers vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting, reinforced with materials other than metal or textile. This industry plays a crucial role in the global supply chain, providing essential components for a wide range of industries, including manufacturing, mining, agriculture, and transportation. Conveyor belts and belting are integral to the efficient movement of goods, materials, and resources, making this industry a vital part of the broader economy.

Production process

The production of vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting involves a multi-step process. First, raw rubber is compounded with various additives, such as fillers, accelerators, and vulcanizing agents, to achieve the desired physical and chemical properties. The rubber compound is then extruded or calendered into thin sheets or strips. Reinforcing materials, such as fabric or cord, are then incorporated into the rubber to provide strength and durability. Finally, the reinforced rubber is vulcanized, a process that crosslinks the polymer chains, resulting in a tough, flexible, and heat-resistant material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of HS code 401019 products include natural and synthetic rubber, reinforcing materials (e.g., fabric, cord, or wire), and various chemical additives. Specialized machinery, such as extruders, calenders, and vulcanizing presses, are also essential for the manufacturing process. Additionally, energy sources, such as electricity or steam, are needed to power the production equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 401019 is vulcanized rubber conveyor belts and belting, which are used in a wide range of industries. These products are often consumed by manufacturers of 842833 Conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanized rubber, 842839 Conveyor or transmission belts or belting, of vulcanized rubber, and 842890 Machinery for lifting, handling, loading or unloading, n.e.c. in this chapter, among others. The versatility and durability of these conveyor belts and belting make them essential components in various industrial and commercial applications.
