About textile machinery; combing machines for preparing textile fibres

HS code 844512 covers textile machinery used for combing and preparing textile fibres. This industry plays a crucial role in the global textile supply chain, providing essential equipment and technologies that enable the production of a wide range of textile products, from clothing and home furnishings to industrial textiles. As a key component of the broader textile manufacturing sector, the 844512 industry contributes significantly to economic growth and employment in many countries around the world.

Production process

The primary production technique for HS code 844512 involves the use of combing machines. These specialized machines are designed to untangle, align, and clean textile fibres, such as cotton, wool, or synthetic materials, in preparation for further processing. The combing process helps to remove impurities, straighten the fibres, and create a more uniform and consistent raw material for downstream textile production.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the 844512 industry include raw textile fibres, such as 520100 Cotton, not carded or combed, 510111 Wool, not carded or combed, or 550320 Synthetic staple fibres, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning. Additionally, these combing machines require specialized components, such as combs, rollers, and other mechanical parts, as well as energy sources (e.g., electricity or fuel) to power the equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of the 844512 industry is combed and prepared textile fibres, which are then used as inputs for a variety of downstream textile manufacturing processes, such as 520511 Cotton yarn, single, of uncombed fibres, not put up for retail sale or 540233 Textured filament yarn of polyester, not put up for retail sale. These combed and prepared fibres are essential for producing high-quality textile products that meet the demands of consumers and industrial users.
