About machinery; injection-moulding machines, for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials

HS code 847710 covers injection-molding machines, a critical piece of equipment used in the production of a wide range of plastic and rubber products. These machines play a vital role in the global manufacturing industry, enabling the efficient and cost-effective creation of everything from consumer goods to industrial components. As the demand for plastic and rubber products continues to grow, the importance of this machinery within the broader economy is only expected to increase.

Production process

The injection-molding process involves melting raw plastic or rubber material and injecting it into a mold cavity, where it cools and solidifies into the desired shape. This process is highly automated and can produce complex, intricate parts with a high degree of precision and consistency. The key steps in injection molding include material feeding, heating and melting, injection, cooling, and part ejection, all of which are carefully controlled by the machinery to ensure optimal results.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the production of injection-molding machines include various metal alloys, such as steel and aluminum, as well as electronic components, hydraulic systems, and specialized software. These machines also rely on a steady supply of electricity and other utilities to power their operations. Additionally, the production of injection-molding machines requires a skilled workforce capable of designing, assembling, and maintaining this complex equipment.

Production outputs

Injection-molding machines produce a wide range of plastic and rubber products, including 392010 Plastic plates, sheets, film, foil and strip, 401700 Rubber articles, and 940320 Furniture; metal, of a kind used in offices. These outputs are then consumed by a diverse range of industries, from consumer goods and packaging to automotive and construction. The versatility of injection-molding technology ensures that the demand for these machines remains strong across numerous sectors of the global economy.
