The hea?h'ng also covers machines of different types es~gnedor cleaning or drying bottles or other containers, for filling or closin such containers (includin machines for aerating beverages) and, general1 , for packing (inc uding heat-shrink wrappingBgoods for sale, transport or storage. These inclu e : 6Y 8. P' (1) Machines (whether or not steam-operated) for cleaning, washing, rinsing or drying bottles, jars, cans, boxes, casks, milk churns, cream separator bowls or other contaners. These machines sometimes incorporate provision for disinfection or sterilisation. (2) Machines for filling containers e.g., casks, barrels, cans, bottles, jars, tubes, ampoules, boxes, packets or bags), fiequent y equipped with subsidiary automatic volume or weight control and with devices for closing the containers. \ (3) Bottle or jar closing, corking or capping machines; can closers and sealers (including those closing by soldering). (4) Wrapping or cattoning machines, including those with provision for formin printing, tylng, staplin , taping, glueing, closing or otherwise finshing the packing. 7% heading includes macknes for packing filled cans or bottles into external containers (crates, boxes, etc.). (5) Labelling machines, including those which also print, cut and gum the labels. (6) Machines for aerating beverages. These are, in effect, bottle fillin and closing machines wlth provision for supplying carbon dioxide gas simultaneously w i g the liquid. (7) Baling or banding machines, including hand-operated portable appliances, provided with plates or similar devices enabling them to be rested, while in use, on the bales, cases or other packages to be strapped. Machines of this heading fie uently perform several of ,the foregoing functions. They may also incorporate provision for fil ing or sealing in vacuo or under other controlled atmospheric conditions. Machines which in addition to acking, wrapping, etc., also perform other operations remain classified in the heading provi ed the additional operations are incidental to the packing, etc. Thus machines which pack or wrap goods into the f o m or resentations in which they are normally distributed and sold in commerce, are classified in t 's heading, whether or not the machines also contain devices for weighing or measuring. Similarly the heading includes machines incorporating devices which, as a secondary funchon, cut, mould or press reviously repared roducts into purely presentational forms without affecting their essentia character e.g., rnac ines for moulding butter or margarine into blocks, etc., and wrappin them). The heading does not, however, cover machines whose rimary function is not to pac , wrap, etc., but to manufacture raw or semi-finished materia s into finished products (e.g., combined cigarette making and packaging machines). !I P P P f PARTS Sub'ect to the general provisions regardin the classification of parts (see the General Exp anatory Note to Section XVI), the hea%I' g also covers parts of the above-mentioned machinery. It should be noted, however, that in the case of composite machines, parts of any component machine which would not on its own fall in this headin , are classified m their own appropriate headin s, e.g., parts of w e p g machines (headin 8$.23), of carton or paper bag making machines (fl eading 84.41) or o printing machines (heatfining 84.4343). The heading excludes : (a) Domestic type bottling or canning machines and other domestic mechanical appliances weighing 10 kg or less (heading 82.10). (b) Straw or fodder balers (heading 84.33). (c) Paper bag or carton making machines (heading 84.41). (d) Sewing machines for sewing up sacks, etc., after fiIling (heading 84.52). (e) Presses for compressing scrap metal into bales, etc. (heading 84.62). (f) Case nailing machines (heading 84.65).
