Sharpe and the Bioprocessing Equipment Committee

The Bioprocessing Equipment Committee, got together under the aegis of ASME Codes and Standards back in 1989. The committee issued its first standard for bioprocessing equipment in 1997. Sharpe Mixers has been working with the Bioprocessing Equipment Committee for the past five years.

Our chief engineer, Jeremy Higginson, is on the committee for agitators and shaft seals. Committee guideline updates include new standards for wetted parts finishes and new definitions of polishing standards. New guidelines for mechanical shaft seals have been developed, with seal construction better suited for CIP and SIP clean-ability.

The work of the BPE was featured in an article in the October 2009 edition of Mechanical Engineering magazine.
