Subheadings
Products classified under HTS 8477.20.00
Single Screw Plastic Extruder
A single screw extruder for processing thermoplastic materials like PVC or polyethylene into continuous profiles such as pipes or sheets. It falls under HTS 8477.20.00 as machinery specifically designed for extruding plastics in the manufacture of products from plastic materials. The rotating screw melts and conveys the polymer through a die to form the desired shape.
Twin Screw Rubber Extruder
Counter-rotating twin screw extruder used for compounding and extruding uncured rubber compounds into tire treads or hoses. Classified under HTS 8477.20.00 for machinery working rubber to manufacture products like automotive parts. Provides superior mixing for rubber formulations with fillers and vulcanizing agents.
PVC Pipe Extrusion Line
Complete single screw extruder line for manufacturing PVC pipes, including die, vacuum calibration, and haul-off. HTS 8477.20.00 covers this plastics working machinery for pipe production. Designed for high-volume production of pressure-rated water and drainage pipes.
Blown Film Co-Extrusion Machine
Multi-layer blown film extruder for packaging films using PE, PP, and barrier resins. Falls under HTS 8477.20.00 as plastics extrusion machinery for film manufacture. Produces high-barrier food packaging and agricultural films.
