Moulding boxes; for metal foundry

HS v2022 Code: 848010

About moulding boxes; for metal foundry

HS code 848010 covers moulding boxes used in metal foundry operations. These specialized containers are essential for the casting of metal parts and components, playing a crucial role in the broader manufacturing industry. Moulding boxes are utilized to shape and contain the molten metal during the casting process, ensuring the final product meets precise specifications. As a key component of metal fabrication, this industry supports a wide range of downstream sectors, from automotive and aerospace to construction and machinery.

Production process

Moulding boxes for metal foundry are typically produced through a combination of metalworking techniques. The boxes are often fabricated from durable materials such as cast iron or steel, which are cut, formed, and assembled to create the desired shape and size. The interior surfaces may be coated or treated to facilitate the release of the solidified metal casting. Specialized equipment, such as milling machines and welding tools, are used to manufacture these moulding boxes to exacting standards.

Production inputs

The primary inputs for the production of moulding boxes include raw materials such as cast iron, steel, and other metal alloys. Manufacturers also require access to metalworking machinery, including cutting, forming, and welding equipment. Additionally, consumable supplies like mould release agents and protective coatings are necessary to ensure the efficient and consistent performance of the moulding boxes.

Production outputs

The primary output of HS code 848010 is the moulding boxes themselves, which are then consumed by the 848020 Metal foundry mould bases and 848030 Moulding patterns for metal foundry industries, as well as the broader 848000 Machinery parts sector. These moulding boxes are essential for the production of a wide range of metal castings, which are subsequently used in the manufacture of various 840000 Machinery and 870000 Vehicles components.
