Dry-cleaning machines

HS v2022 Code: 845110

About dry-cleaning machines

HS code 845110 covers dry-cleaning machines, a critical piece of equipment in the textile and garment industry. These specialized machines play a vital role in the cleaning and maintenance of various fabrics, ensuring that clothes, linens, and other textile products remain in pristine condition. The dry-cleaning industry is an essential component of the broader textile and apparel supply chain, catering to both commercial and residential customers.

Production process

Dry-cleaning machines utilize a solvent-based cleaning process, typically employing perchloroethylene (PCE) or hydrocarbon solvents, to remove dirt, grease, and other contaminants from fabrics. The cleaning process involves loading the soiled items into the machine, where the solvent is circulated to dissolve and extract the impurities. After the cleaning cycle, the solvent is distilled and filtered for reuse, ensuring an efficient and environmentally-conscious operation.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of dry-cleaning machines include various metal components, such as steel and aluminum, for the machine's structure and internal mechanisms. Specialized cleaning solvents, filtration systems, and control electronics are also essential inputs. Manufacturers of dry-cleaning machines may also require specialized tools, molds, and testing equipment to ensure the quality and performance of their products.

Production outputs

Dry-cleaning machines produced under HS code 845110 are primarily consumed by commercial laundries, dry-cleaning establishments, and hotels. These machines are used to clean and maintain a wide range of textile products, including clothing, linens, and upholstery. The output of this industry may also be used as inputs for other related industries, such as 845121 Laundry-type washing machines, 845129 Other washing machines, and 845180 Other machinery, which may incorporate dry-cleaning machines as part of their production processes.
