Dairy machinery

HS v2022 Code: 843420

About dairy machinery

HS code 843420 covers a wide range of machinery and equipment used in the dairy industry. This industry plays a crucial role in the global food supply chain, processing and preserving dairy products such as milk, cheese, butter, and yogurt. The dairy machinery industry is essential for ensuring a reliable and efficient supply of these staple food items, which are consumed worldwide and are a significant part of many national and regional economies.

Production process

The production of dairy machinery involves various techniques, including metal fabrication, precision engineering, and automated assembly. Manufacturers utilize advanced computer-aided design (CAD) software to model and engineer the complex components of dairy processing equipment. These components are then produced through processes like CNC machining, welding, and casting, before being assembled into complete systems. Quality control and testing procedures are also integral to ensuring the reliability and performance of the final products.

Production inputs

The dairy machinery industry relies on a range of raw materials and resources, including stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals for the fabrication of equipment frames and components. Specialized electronic and mechanical parts, such as motors, sensors, and control systems, are also essential inputs. Additionally, the industry requires skilled labor, including engineers, technicians, and production workers, to design, manufacture, and assemble the machinery.

Production outputs

The primary output of the dairy machinery industry is a diverse range of equipment used in dairy processing facilities, such as 843410 Cream separators, 843420 Milk processing machinery, and 843430 Cheese-making machinery. These machines are then consumed by dairy producers, processors, and manufacturers to streamline their operations and increase the efficiency of their dairy production processes.
