NMFC 116620 - Flour Bleaching Agitators | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Pack each agitator in a rigid crate or double‑wall box with foam blocking to protect shafts, gear housings, and motor mounts; mark the center of gravity and Do Not Stack if the drive protrudes.
2. Use moisture protection for food-industry equipment: poly bag or vapor barrier with desiccant inside the box/crate to prevent corrosion and flour residue clumping in transit.
3. Bolt the base to a pallet skid inside the crate so forklifts lift under the skid, not the gearbox; allow 4 in. fork openings and keep lifting points accessible.
4. Reference the exact paperwork: “Agitators, flour aging or bleaching machine — NMFC 116620 — Class 100, non-hazardous.” Include serial numbers and a clean-in-place certificate if shipping to mills or bakeries.

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

• Predictable costs with fixed Class 100: quotes are fast and consistent across LTL carriers, avoiding density disputes.
• Non-hazardous status eliminates hazmat fees and simplifies carrier selection, improving network options and transit times.
• Correct boxing/crating reduces concealed damage on drives and shafts, cutting claim risk and downtime for mills and bakeries.
• Single NMFC mapping (116620) streamlines TMS automation for OEMs and resellers, reducing reclass penalties and administrative touchpoints.
