Other industrial machinery for preparing or making food or drinks
This covers complete industrial machines and apparatus for preparing or making food or drinks that are not covered by one of the specifically named categories in this group. It does not cover parts or machinery for extracting or preparing animal or fatty vegetable oils and fats.
For example
- An industrial fish-processing machine, because it is for fish rather than meat or poultry and is not for bakery products, pasta, confectionery, cocoa, chocolate, sugar, brewing, fruit, nuts or vegetables
- An industrial dairy-food preparation machine, because it is for dairy food rather than meat or poultry and is not for bakery products, pasta, confectionery, cocoa, chocolate, sugar, brewing, fruit, nuts or vegetables
