About machinery; extruders, for working rubber or plastics or for the manufacture of products from these materials

HS code 847720 covers machinery used for extruding, molding, and processing rubber and plastics. This industry plays a crucial role in the manufacturing sector, providing essential equipment for the production of a wide range of consumer and industrial products. The global extruder machinery market is expected to grow significantly in the coming years, driven by the increasing demand for plastic and rubber-based goods across various industries, including packaging, automotive, and construction.

Production process

The main production techniques used in this industry involve the use of extruder machinery. Extruders are machines that melt and force raw materials, such as plastic pellets or rubber compounds, through a die to create a continuous profile or shape. The extruded material can then be further processed, such as by cutting, cooling, or shaping, to produce the desired product. Extrusion is a highly versatile process that can be used to create a wide range of products, from simple plastic pipes to complex automotive components.

Production inputs

The key inputs required for the production of extruder machinery include various types of metals, such as steel and aluminum, as well as electronic components, hydraulic systems, and specialized software. Additionally, the industry relies on a skilled workforce, including engineers, technicians, and operators, to design, manufacture, and maintain the machinery. The availability of raw materials, such as plastic resins and rubber compounds, is also crucial for the end-users of this equipment.

Production outputs

The primary output of this industry is the extruder machinery itself, which is then used by manufacturers of 392010 Plastic products, 400000 Rubber and articles thereof, and other related industries to produce a wide range of products. These products can include, but are not limited to, plastic pipes, profiles, sheets, and films, as well as rubber tires, hoses, and other molded parts.
