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.

Find out what the BPE committee is up to now!

Sharpe Heavy-Duty Portable Mixers

Sharpe Mixers offers heavy-duty portable mixers to meet the toughest applications. Our direct drive drive portable mixers provide high-speed mixing for those jobs where greater shearing action is required and for smaller batch mixing. The high speed of the impellers (1750 rpm) create localized high-velocity eddies (high shear) necessary for many applications such as dispersing and dissolving dry powders into a solution.

Our gear drive portable mixers are the best choice for larger volume and higher-viscosity applications. The slower speed (350 rpm) provides the high torque necessary to mix higher viscosity fluids and the higher flow required in larger tanks. Large diameter HYF-218 impellers produce much more flow per horsepower than other mixers on the market.

Both mixers come with standard NEMA 56C frame motors, providing "off the shelf" availability and a wide range of motor options.

The alloy mixer housings are powder coated for maximum durability.

The shaft coupling is protected from corrosion, safely located inside the sealed housing. No exposed coupling means a safer mixer as well.

Oversize 3/4", 1" and 1-1/4" diameter shafts are used for maximum stability & strong life.

Finally, all standard mixer components are stocked on our shelves and available for immediate shipment!
