About rubber; vulcanised, endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section (v-belts), other than v-ribbed, of an outside circumference exceeding 180cm but not exceeding 240 cm

HS code 401034 covers a specific type of vulcanized rubber product - endless transmission belts of trapezoidal cross-section, also known as V-belts. These belts play a crucial role in the machinery and industrial equipment sectors, transmitting power and motion between rotating shafts. As a key component in a wide range of applications, the 401034 V-belt industry is an important part of the broader rubber manufacturing and industrial supply chain.

Production process

The production of 401034 V-belts involves several key steps. First, the raw rubber compound is extruded into the desired trapezoidal cross-section shape. This is then vulcanized, a process that chemically cross-links the rubber molecules to improve its strength, durability, and resistance to heat and wear. Finally, the belts are cut to length, reinforced with fabric or cord, and finished to the required specifications.

Production inputs

The main inputs for the 401034 V-belt industry include natural and synthetic rubber compounds, fabric or cord reinforcing materials, and specialized extrusion and vulcanization equipment. Manufacturers may also require various chemicals, adhesives, and finishing agents to produce the final product. Access to a reliable supply of these raw materials and production technologies is crucial for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 401034 industry is the vulcanized rubber V-belt itself. These belts are used in a wide range of industrial machinery and equipment, such as 842810 Lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, 842890 Other lifting, handling, loading or unloading machinery, and 848340 Gears and gearing; ball or roller screws; gear boxes and other speed changers, including torque converters. The 401034 V-belts may also be used in 842833 Continuous-action elevators and conveyors, for goods or materials, and other power transmission applications.
