Horizontal Centrifugal Mold for Ductile Iron Pipes from China
Horizontal rotating mold used in centrifugal casting to produce ductile iron pipes up to 24 inches in diameter. The mold's water-cooled copper or steel construction ensures uniform wall thickness and rapid solidification. Falls under HTS 8480.49.0010 due to its specific design for ductile iron pipe centrifugal casting.

Import Tips
• Include machine compatibility specs showing centrifugal rotation speed (typically 300-500 RPM) for proper classification
• Label molds clearly with 'ductile iron pipe centrifugal casting' to prevent customs misclassification
• Obtain manufacturer's declaration confirming exclusion from ingot molds or rubber/plastic categories
