Classification Details
| NMFC | Description | Class |

| 129680.00 | Separators, cream or whey, centrifugal, or Centrifugal Milk Clarifiers, in boxes or crates | 92.5 |
How to Determine Your Class
To find the correct freight class for your shipment:
- Lock or remove the rotor and disc stack; brace inside the crate to prevent bearing shock (e.g., on 30–36 in bowls, add 1/2 in through-bolts to the skid).
- Drain product and CIP fluids, cap tri-clamp ports, and bag the unit with desiccant; use VCI wrap to protect stainless surfaces from corrosion during transit.
- Label center of gravity and Do Not Tilt; add tip and impact indicators; design a 4‑way forkable base and keep to a 48"×48" footprint when possible.
- List NMFC 129680, Class 92.5 on the BOL and select accessorials (liftgate, appointment) for farm or creamery deliveries; declare packaging as boxed or crated.
Note: All classifications are subject to Item 170. Verify with official NMFC publications for the most current requirements.
Business Value
- Fixed Class 92.5 removes density math, delivering predictable LTL quotes and fewer reclass disputes.
- Non-hazardous status broadens carrier options and cuts surcharge exposure, improving transit reliability to dairies.
- Standardized box/crate packaging streamlines prep, reduces handling damage, and lowers claim costs on precision machinery.
- Proper rotor immobilization and moisture control protect tolerances, avoiding costly rebuilds and production downtime on arrival.
