Mixing solutions specialist Chemineer has commenced manufacture of specially designed impellers for a major new fermentation plant in Malaysia. The plant is expected to become the largest integrated insulins production plant in Asia.
The new bio-pharma facility is working with the firm to provide high sanitary ASME/BPE clamp-on impellers as an integral part of the manufacturing process.
Chemineer’s bespoke clamp-on design allows the impeller to be moved up and down the shaft without the need for a keyway that could compromise hygiene.
The BT6 and MP4 impellers, part of a comprehensive range at the mixing specialist, are proven in CIP biotech applications.
In addition to impellers, Chemineer is supplying lab-scale agitators for optimisation work.
