Beverage and blending side by side
A beverage company moves syrups and water in bulk; a chemical blender moves concentrates. Nobody on this page is a customer, and the tote work here is general rather than named. The useful fact is the adjacency: two industries that need opposite things from a tote share one city.
The beverage side wants food-grade history or a new bottle. The blending side wants a rebottled or reconditioned tote with a current test date. The same dock can hold both kinds, which is why the grade of each tote matters more than the count.
Keeping the two histories apart
- Never put a tote that held a chemical on a beverage line, even after rinsing.
- Keep food-history totes on a separate rack from chemical ones.
- Label every tote with its last contents and the date.
- Read the chemical blenders page and the beverage page for the two sets of questions.
ZIPs and the request
Corona uses 92878, 92879, 92881, 92882 and 92883. A request that names the ZIP and the last contents of the totes lets the grade be set quickly. The grader does the counting.

Beverage and blending side by side
Beverage, chemical blending and distribution all appear in the sources for Corona. A beverage firm wants food-grade history or a new bottle. A blender wants a certified tote with a current test date. A distributor wants a lot sorted.
If your dock holds more than one kind, sort before you describe: food-history totes on one pallet line, chemical-history totes on another, unknowns tagged at the back. Give the counts by line rather than as one total, so each group can be graded on its own. The beverage page and the blender page set out the two sets of questions.
Retest dates for blending sites
A blender shipping a regulated liquid reads the plate date before anything else. Tests fall due every 2.5 years under 49 CFR 180.352, so a tote close to its date should be flagged in the request, because a buyer who needs regulated service will plan the retest into the deal.
