Machinery for sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing or kneading earth, stone, ores or other mineral substances, in solid (including powder or paste) form; machinery for agglomerating, shaping or molding solid mineral fuels, ceramic paste, unhardened cements, plastering materials or other mineral products in powder or paste form; machines for forming foundry molds of sand; parts thereof

Heading 8474 covers machinery that works earth, stone, ores and other solid mineral substances by sorting, screening, separating, washing, crushing, grinding, mixing or kneading, plus machinery that agglomerates, shapes or molds mineral products in powder or paste form and machines that form foundry molds of sand. It also covers parts of that machinery. The heading splits first by machine function (8474.10 sorting and washing, 8474.20 crushing and grinding, 8474.31 through 8474.39 mixing and kneading, 8474.80 other machinery) and then, inside some of those, by portable versus stationary build or by the material being mixed. Parts sit in 8474.90 and are split by the type of machine the part serves.
