Distilling or rectifying plant; not used for domestic purposes

HS v2022 Code: 841940

About distilling or rectifying plant; not used for domestic purposes

HS code 841940 covers the industrial distilling or rectifying equipment used in various manufacturing processes. This specialized machinery plays a crucial role in the production of a wide range of goods, from alcoholic beverages to chemical compounds. The distilling and rectifying industry is an integral part of the broader manufacturing sector, contributing to the efficient and high-quality output of numerous industries within the global economy.

Production process

The main production techniques involved in the manufacture of distilling or rectifying equipment include precision engineering, metal fabrication, and advanced control systems. These plants typically consist of a series of columns, condensers, and other specialized components designed to separate and purify various liquids and gases through the process of distillation or rectification. The specific configuration and design of the equipment can vary depending on the intended application and the properties of the materials being processed.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of distilling or rectifying plants include high-quality metals, such as stainless steel, specialized valves and fittings, advanced control systems, and skilled labor. Manufacturers in this industry also rely on a range of supporting industries, including 842139 Filtering or purifying machinery and apparatus for gases, 840410 Auxiliary plant for use with boilers, and 848180 Taps, cocks, valves, and similar appliances for pipes, boiler shells, tanks, vats, or the like, to source the necessary components and technologies.

Production outputs

The primary output of the distilling or rectifying plant industry is the specialized equipment used in a wide range of manufacturing processes. This equipment is essential for the production of 220710 Undenatured ethyl alcohol of an alcoholic strength by volume of 80% vol. or higher, 281511 (Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda), solid), and various other industrial chemicals and compounds. The distilling and rectifying plants produced under HS code 841940 are crucial for maintaining the quality and efficiency of these downstream industries.
