HS v2022 Code: 851511

About brazing or soldering machines and apparatus; soldering irons and guns, whether or not capable of cutting

HS code 851511 covers a range of equipment and machinery used for brazing, soldering, and welding. These tools and machines play a crucial role in various manufacturing and repair industries, enabling the joining of metal components through the application of heat and filler materials. The 851511 classification is an important part of the broader machinery and equipment sector, which is a key driver of economic activity and industrial development worldwide.

Production process

The main production techniques for 851511 items involve the careful engineering and assembly of the various components that make up brazing, soldering, and welding equipment. This typically includes the heating element, power supply, control systems, and specialized tips or nozzles. Manufacturers must ensure precise tolerances, reliable performance, and safety features to meet industry standards and customer requirements.

Production inputs

The production of 851511 goods requires a range of inputs, including metals, electrical components, and specialized materials. Key raw materials may include copper, steel, and various alloys used for the heating elements and other parts. Electrical motors, switches, and other electronic components are also necessary for the power and control systems. Consumable items like flux, solder, and welding rods are additional important inputs for these machines and tools.

Production outputs

The primary outputs of the 851511 industry are the brazing, soldering, and welding machines and equipment themselves. These products are then consumed by a wide range of manufacturing, construction, and repair industries, including 731100 Manufacture of metal structures and parts of structures, 251100 Manufacture of structural metal products, and 452000 Maintenance and repair of motor vehicles. The versatility of these tools and machines makes them essential for a variety of fabrication, assembly, and maintenance activities across the economy.
