HS v2022 Code: 841934

About dryers; for agricultural products, not used for domestic purposes

HS code 841934 covers industrial dryers used for agricultural products, excluding those intended for domestic use. This equipment plays a crucial role in post-harvest processing, helping to preserve the quality and extend the shelf life of a wide range of agricultural commodities. The demand for these specialized dryers is driven by the global need to ensure food security and reduce post-harvest losses, making this industry an important component of the broader agricultural supply chain.

Production process

Industrial dryers for agricultural products typically utilize a combination of heat, airflow, and mechanical agitation to remove moisture from the target materials. Common techniques include conveyor belt drying, rotary drum drying, and fluidized bed drying, among others. The specific production methods employed often depend on the nature of the agricultural product, its moisture content, and the desired final characteristics.

Production inputs

The production of HS code 841934 dryers requires a range of inputs, including metal fabrication for the main body and components, specialized heating and air circulation systems, and advanced control mechanisms to ensure precise drying parameters. Additionally, the manufacturing process may involve the integration of sensors, monitoring equipment, and safety features to meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Production outputs

Dryers classified under HS code 841934 are primarily used to process a variety of agricultural products, such as grains, oilseeds, fruits, and vegetables. The dried outputs from these machines can then be further processed, packaged, and distributed for consumption or used as inputs for other industries, such as 100190 Wheat and meslin, 120100 Soybeans, or 080300 Bananas, including plantains.
