Centrifuges; cream separators

HS v2022 Code: 842111

About centrifuges; cream separators

HS code 842111 covers centrifuges and cream separators, which are essential equipment in various industries, including food processing, chemical manufacturing, and pharmaceutical production. These machines play a crucial role in separating solid particles from liquids or liquids of different densities, making them indispensable for a wide range of industrial processes. The global demand for centrifuges and cream separators is driven by the growing need for efficient and reliable separation technologies across diverse sectors, contributing to the overall growth of the international trade and economic development.

Production process

Centrifuges and cream separators operate on the principle of centrifugal force, which is generated by the rapid rotation of a drum or bowl. The main production techniques involve the careful design and engineering of the centrifuge's components, such as the rotor, motor, and control systems, to ensure optimal performance and efficiency. Manufacturers also focus on developing advanced features, such as automated controls, variable speed settings, and enhanced safety mechanisms, to meet the evolving needs of their customers.

Production inputs

The production of centrifuges and cream separators requires a range of inputs, including high-quality metals (e.g., stainless steel, aluminum), specialized bearings, seals, and electronic components. Manufacturers also rely on advanced manufacturing equipment, such as CNC machines and precision tools, to fabricate the intricate parts and assemblies. Additionally, the industry requires skilled technicians and engineers to design, assemble, and test the final products to ensure they meet industry standards and customer specifications.

Production outputs

Centrifuges and cream separators produced under HS code 842111 are primarily used in various industries, including 040120 Milk and cream, concentrated or containing added sugar or other sweetening matter processing, 281511 (Sodium hydroxide (caustic soda)) production, and 300450 Other medicaments for therapeutic or prophylactic uses, not put up in measured doses or in forms or packings for retail sale manufacturing. These machines are essential for separating, purifying, and concentrating a wide range of liquid and solid mixtures, making them a crucial component in many industrial supply chains.
