NMFC 126405 – Grinder/Refiner Plugs (Jordan) | Class 60-85

Note 126407: NOTE-Surfaces liable to damage must be protected.

To find the correct freight class for your shipment:

1. Match packaging to class: use sturdy boxes or crates with blocking and bracing to qualify for the lower end of Class 60–85; expect higher class when shipping loose components.
2. Guard sharp elements—bars, knives, and wedges—with edge protectors and dense corrugate; wrap stones and liners to prevent abrasion and dust migration.
3. Unitize mixed sets (fillings, separators, and knives) on 4‑way pallets, band with steel or heavy poly strapping, and mark center of gravity for safe handling.
4. Document contents clearly: list Jordan plug type, materials (steel, carbide, or stone), and count per package to avoid inspections and reclass delays.

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

• Lower total freight spend by upgrading from loose to crated or boxed shipments, which can qualify for a lower class within the 60–85 range.
• Reduce claims and downtime by protecting sharp edges and brittle stones, cutting damage risk common in pulp and paper refiner parts.
• Faster tendering and fewer accessorials thanks to clear NMFC alignment under Machinery Group and a non‑hazardous designation.
• Better rate predictability and fewer reweigh/reclass fees through precise component descriptions and consistent palletization standards.
