NMFC 114650 - Porcelain Grinding Media & Liners | Class 50

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Mark paperwork and pallet labels with NMFC 114650 and Class 50 for porcelain grinding balls/rods or mill lining brick.
2. Use heavy double‑wall boxes as the outer pack; bag media inside to contain fines, add dividers for rods, and fill voids to prevent chipping (e.g., 25–50 lb bags inside 275 lb‑tested cartons).
3. Palletize tightly: interlock boxed layers on a 48×40 pallet, add corner boards, and stretch‑wrap; keep center of gravity low and avoid top‑stacking fragile liners.
4. Note “porcelain/ceramic, non‑hazardous” on the BOL, include piece counts by bag/box/drum and net weight per handling unit to avoid reclass or inspections.

Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.

• Predictable costs: fixed Class 50 removes density breaks, making quotes faster and more consistent for heavy ceramic media.
• Lower risk of claim costs when boxed and braced correctly—hard, dense porcelain is tough but can chip if allowed to shift.
• No hazmat surcharges or extra permits, streamlining tendering and reducing accessorial surprises.
• Easy consolidation with other machinery parts; a single class for media and liners helps prevent reclass fees across mixed pallets.
