Machines; concrete or mortar mixers

HS v2022 Code: 847431

About machines; concrete or mortar mixers

HS code 847431 covers machines used for mixing concrete or mortar. These machines play a crucial role in the construction industry, enabling the efficient and consistent production of concrete and mortar, which are essential materials for a wide range of building projects. The demand for these machines is closely tied to the overall health of the construction sector, making this industry an important indicator of economic activity.

Production process

Concrete and mortar mixers typically use a rotating drum or paddle to thoroughly combine the necessary ingredients, such as cement, sand, gravel, and water. The mixing action ensures a homogeneous mixture, which is then discharged for use in construction projects. These machines can vary in size and capacity, from small portable units to large, truck-mounted models capable of producing large volumes of material.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for the production of concrete and mortar mixers include metal components for the frame and drum, as well as motors, gears, and other mechanical parts. Manufacturers may also require specialized materials like high-strength steel or corrosion-resistant coatings to ensure the durability and performance of their products. Additionally, these machines rely on a skilled workforce capable of assembling and maintaining the equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 847431 is the concrete or mortar mixer itself, which is then sold to construction companies, contractors, and other end-users. These machines may be used in the production of 2523 Cement or 6810 Articles of concrete, cement, and plaster, as well as a wide range of other construction materials and products.
