Malaysian Insulins Plant Invests in Hygienic Clamp-On Impellers

Chemineer has commenced manufacture of specially designed impellers for a major new fermentation plant in Malaysia, at what will reportedly become the largest integrated insulins production plant in Asia.

The new biopharma facility has chosen mixing specialist Chemineer 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 all-important hygiene.

The BT6 and MP4 impellers, part of a comprehensive range at Chemineer, are proven in CIP biotech applications.

In addition to impellers, Chemineer is also supplying laboratory-scale agitators for optimisation work.
