NEW YORK COMPENSATION INSURANCE NEW YORK MANUAL FOR WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND RATING BOARD EMPLOYERS' LIABILITY INSURANCE
CLASSIFICATION CODE INTERPRETATIONS
Note: Description:
Code 2021 applies to employers engaged in operating mills where sugarcane is received and crushed or rolled to obtain juice. The juice is lime-treated, heated, and pumped into settling tanks. The syrup is then run through centrifugal extractors, removing the molasses, and then through a process of drying and crystallization. The crystallized or raw sugar is then filtered, cleaned, screened, and conveyed to the packaging department where it is bagged, stored, or shipped. Molasses and sugar syrups resulting from the processing operations are heat-treated, skimmed, blended, canned, or pumped into storage pending shipment.
This classification also applies to employers engaged in manufacturing sugar from sugar beets that are received from outside suppliers. The beets are washed, sliced, and cooked. The juice is extracted and is then purified, filtered, evaporated, and crystallized. The centrifugal extractors separate the syrup from the sugar crystals, which are then dried, granulated, and made ready for packing.
