Machines; for crushing or grinding earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances

HS v2022 Code: 847420

About machines; for crushing or grinding earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances

HS code 847420 covers a critical segment of the mining and mineral processing industry. These machines play a vital role in the extraction, refinement, and preparation of a wide range of raw materials that are essential for various manufacturing and construction activities. The global demand for these crushing and grinding machines is driven by the ongoing need for minerals, metals, and other natural resources to support economic growth and development across numerous sectors.

Production process

Machines classified under HS code 847420 utilize a range of techniques to crush, grind, or otherwise reduce the size of earth, stone, ores, and other mineral substances. Common methods include impact crushing, where materials are broken down by high-speed impacts, and compression crushing, where materials are compressed between two surfaces. Grinding machines may employ rotating drums or balls to pulverize materials into finer particles. These production processes are often tailored to the specific characteristics and requirements of the input materials.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of HS code 847420 machines include a variety of metal components, such as steel castings and forgings, as well as electrical and electronic parts. Manufacturers also rely on specialized design and engineering expertise, as well as advanced manufacturing technologies, to develop these highly specialized machines. The availability of reliable power sources and skilled labor are also important factors in the production of these crushing and grinding machines.

Production outputs

The machines classified under HS code 847420 are used to process a wide range of mineral and earth-based materials, including 250100 Silica Sands, 251010 Natural Calcium Phosphates, 252100 Limestone Flux, and 260111 Iron Ores and Concentrates. The crushed and ground materials produced by these machines are then used as inputs for various downstream industries, such as 680100 Building Stones, 680221 Marble, Travertine, and Alabaster, and 720260 Ferronickel.
