Aluminium; reservoirs, tanks, vats and similar containers, for material (not compressed or liquefied gas), of a capacity over 300l, whether or not lined, not fitted with mechanical/thermal equipment

HS code 761100 covers a crucial segment of the aluminium industry, focusing on the production of large-scale aluminium containers, tanks, and reservoirs. These products play a vital role in the storage and transportation of various materials, contributing significantly to industries such as 382000 Chemical and Allied Products, 422000 Rubber and Miscellaneous Plastic Products, and 493000 Transportation Equipment.

The manufacturing of these aluminium containers typically involves a multi-step process. First, high-purity aluminium alloy is melted and cast into the desired shapes and sizes. The cast pieces are then subjected to various forming techniques, such as rolling, stamping, or extrusion, to achieve the required dimensions and structural integrity. Finally, the containers may undergo additional finishing processes, including polishing, coating, or the addition of specialized linings, depending on the intended use.

The primary inputs for this industry include aluminium ingots or billets, as well as various alloying elements like copper, magnesium, or silicon to enhance the material's strength and corrosion resistance. Specialized machinery, such as melting furnaces, rolling mills, and stamping presses, are also essential for the production process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled labor, energy resources, and transportation infrastructure to support the manufacturing and distribution of these aluminium containers.

The primary output of this industry is a diverse range of aluminium containers, tanks, and reservoirs, which are then consumed by various downstream industries. These products may be used for the storage and transportation of liquids, solids, or even compressed gases, depending on the specific application. Some of the key industries that utilize these aluminium containers include 382000 Chemical and Allied Products, 422000 Rubber and Miscellaneous Plastic Products, and 493000 Transportation Equipment.
