NMFC 116850 - Packers for Bran, Flour or Meal | Class 100

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Identify the item as packaging machinery for bran, flour, or meal and apply NMFC 116850, Class 100 on the BOL to avoid reclass with food products.
2. Purge and clean equipment to remove powder residue, then cap all inlets/outlets and seal with poly to contain dust during transit.
3. Detach protruding parts like augers, spouts, and hoppers; crate these separately, label tie-down points, and block the main frame on a skid.
4. Protect sensitive components—load cells, scales, drives, and controls—with foam and corner protection; add center-of-gravity and lift-point labels.

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

• Predictable pricing from a fixed Class 100 reduces reclass fees and speeds up quoting.
• Proper cleaning and sealing cut contamination and cleaning-charge claims for powder-processing machinery.
• Crating and part removal minimize cubic footprint and damage risk, improving delivered cost and on-time performance.
• Clear NMFC identification (116850) streamlines carrier handling and reduces exception notations at pickup.
