Ironing machines and presses (including fusing presses)

HS code 845130 covers a range of industrial and commercial ironing machines and presses, including fusing presses. These machines play a crucial role in the textile, garment, and laundry industries, enabling efficient and high-quality fabric finishing and preparation. As a key component of the broader 845100 (Machinery for washing, cleaning, wringing, drying, ironing, pressing (including fusing presses), bleaching, dyeing, dressing, finishing, coating or impregnating textile yarns, fabrics or made-up textile articles and machines for applying the paste to the base fabric or other support used in the manufacture of floor coverings such as linoleum; machines for reeling, unreeling, folding, cutting or pinking textile fabrics) industry, this code represents an important segment of the global manufacturing and trade landscape.

Ironing machines and presses covered under HS code 845130 typically utilize a combination of heat, pressure, and mechanical action to smooth, flatten, and shape fabrics. The production process often involves feeding the fabric through heated rollers or platens, which apply the necessary heat and pressure to remove wrinkles, creases, and other imperfections. Some machines may also incorporate additional features, such as steam injection or specialized coatings, to enhance the efficiency and quality of the ironing process.

The primary inputs required for the production of ironing machines and presses include various metal components (such as steel frames, rollers, and platens), electrical and electronic parts (motors, controls, and sensors), and specialized fabrics or coatings for the ironing surfaces. Manufacturers may also rely on precision engineering and manufacturing capabilities to ensure the proper functioning and durability of these machines.

The primary output of HS code 845130 is ironing machines and presses, which are then consumed by a range of industries, including 620300 (Men's or boys' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)) , 620400 (Women's or girls' suits, ensembles, jackets, blazers, dresses, skirts, divided skirts, trousers, bib and brace overalls, breeches and shorts (other than swimwear)) , 630900 Worn clothing and other worn articles , and 940520 Lamps and lighting fittings not elsewhere specified or included; illuminated signs, illuminated name-plates and the like . These machines are essential for the efficient and high-quality finishing of textiles, garments, and other fabric-based products.
