Product description
The CMT pulverizing plant consists essentially of a pulverizer, dust collector, fanset, rotary airlock, and control console. The pulverizer features a variable separator assembly and feedscrew mechanism, as well as fully adjustable rotor speed and air volume control. These features can be manipulated to produce the broadest spectrum of particle sizes on an extensive range of materials, including chemicals, insecticides, pharmaceuticals, foodstuffs, pigments, ceramics, dyes and fillers. In addition, the pulverizer contains a unique temperature control system, thus making it suitable for use in grinding heat sensitive materials such as epoxy resins and thermoplastics. The dust collector is utilized to control dust and fume emissions.
CBP rationale
The applicable subheading for the pulverizing plant will be 8479.82.0080, Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS), which provides for machines and mechanical appliances having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere.
