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

HS code 847730 covers blow 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 manufacturing of consumer goods, packaging, and industrial components, making them an essential part of the global economy. The versatility and efficiency of blow molding technology have contributed to its widespread adoption across various industries, from automotive to consumer electronics.

Production process

Blow molding is a manufacturing process that involves the creation of hollow plastic or rubber parts. The process begins with a heated, molten plastic or rubber material being extruded into a mold. Compressed air is then blown into the mold, causing the material to expand and take the shape of the cavity. This technique allows for the production of complex, intricate shapes with high precision and repeatability. The final products can range from simple containers to complex automotive parts, showcasing the versatility of blow molding technology.

Production inputs

The primary inputs required for the blow molding industry include thermoplastic resins, such as polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), as well as rubber compounds. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized blow molding machines, molds, and ancillary equipment like extruders and cooling systems. The availability and quality of these raw materials and machinery are crucial for the industry's productivity and the creation of high-quality products.

Production outputs

The blow molding industry produces a wide range of products, including bottles, containers, tanks, and various industrial components. These outputs are then consumed by a diverse range of industries, including 392110 Plastics packaging for the conveyance or packing of goods, 401699 Other articles of vulcanized rubber, n.e.s., and 870899 Parts and accessories for motor vehicles, n.e.s..
