About textile machinery; carding machines for preparing textile fibres

HS code 844511 covers textile machinery used for carding, a crucial process in the preparation of textile fibres. Carding machines are essential components in the textile manufacturing industry, responsible for aligning and cleaning raw fibres to create a consistent, uniform material suitable for further processing. This industry plays a vital role in the global textile supply chain, providing the foundation for the production of a wide range of textile products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles.

Production process

The carding process involves feeding raw textile fibres, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, into a carding machine. The machine uses a series of rotating drums or cylinders covered with fine wire teeth or card clothing to untangle, align, and clean the fibres. As the fibres pass through the machine, they are combed and straightened, removing any impurities or foreign matter. The resulting output is a continuous, uniform web or sliver of fibres, ready for subsequent processes like spinning or felting.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the 844511 textile machinery; carding machines for preparing textile fibres industry include raw textile fibres, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, as well as the specialized machinery and equipment required for the carding process. This includes the carding machines themselves, which are typically powered by electric motors and feature intricate arrangements of drums, rollers, and card clothing. Additional inputs may include lubricants, maintenance supplies, and skilled labour to operate and maintain the equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 844511 textile machinery; carding machines for preparing textile fibres industry is the carded textile fibre sliver, which is then typically fed into 844512 textile machinery; combing machines for preparing textile fibres or 844513 textile machinery; drawing or roving machines for further processing. These carded fibres are essential inputs for the production of a wide range of textile products, including 5205 Cotton yarn, containing 85% or more by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale, 5206 Cotton yarn, containing less than 85% by weight of cotton, not put up for retail sale, and 5508 Sewing thread of man-made filaments or of man-made staple fibres, whether or not put up for retail sale.
