NMFC 120940 - Extractors & Centrifuges, NOI | Class N/A

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Drain all liquids, purge lines, and lock out the rotor or bowl. Strap lids and doors closed, mark Keep Upright and Center of Gravity to prevent imbalance issues.
2. Bolt the base to a solid skid and block under the frame. Add cross-bracing so the drum cannot shift axially; use shock/tilt indicators for precision bearings.
3. Crate for LTL using ISPM-15 lumber when exporting, and wrap stainless or composite units with VCI or heavy shrink to resist corrosion and scuffing.
4. Reference NMFC 120940 (NOI) on paperwork. List make/model, materials (stainless, cast iron, composite), exact weight and dimensions, and note Non-Hazardous—drained and cleaned.

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

• Lower reclass risk by matching the NOI description and showing clear, durable crating and securement methods.
• Avoid hazmat surcharges and delays by documenting that the centrifuge was drained, purged, and shipped clean.
• Reduce damage claims: immobilizing the drum and isolating vibration protect expensive bearings and controls.
• Faster, sharper quotes: carriers price more confidently when NMFC 120940, packaging, and footprint are clearly stated.
