Bending Moment is the Hydraulic Force (FH) acting on a shaft at a length away from the bearings perpendicular to the axis of rotation. Bending Moment causes the shaft to bend away from the central rotational axis and is critical to determine the shaft material, diameter and bearing design. Excessive bending moments or weak materials of construction can lead to catastrophic failures. The bending moment for each impeller is calculated using the applied Horsepower (HP) and impeller distance from the load bearings. The speed of the mixer and diameter of the impeller is also taken into account as well as whether or not the impeller is submerged or at the liquid surface (important for filling and emptying). After the bending moment is established, the amount of shaft deflection can be estimated using the shaft diameter and the material’s Modulus of Elasticity.

What may have been high-end equipment 20 years ago may cause your company serious problems now. While it may function reliably, if your drug manufacturing process isn’t cGMP compliant, you risk regulatory action from the FDA. Ensure your system meets FDA standards now, by contacting a White Mountain Process specialist to review your current mixing system.
Current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) are necessary guidelines for drug manufacturing. While people assume all manufacturers adhere to these practices, remarkably some manufacturers have not upgraded equipment to current processes and standards.
When it comes to drug products, cGMPs provide a solid foundation for good product quality. Our trained specialists can help you determine current weaknesses in your production and mixing equipment so you can remedy any potential problems quickly. We offer design assistance, necessary documentation, and can help you create a cGMP compliant manufacturing process in your lab to certify product purity.
With the proper systems in place, your manufacturing can guarantee product quality, thanks to strict quality management systems and solid operating procedures. We can help you take your drug manufacturing to the next level by assisting you with critical upgrades in equipment and record keeping strategies. Your company will enjoy the two-fold benefits of smarter production processes – including greater efficiency and a better end product.
Are contamination issues, product mix-ups, waste and errors a problem for your drug mixing production? Be sure your products meet quality standards with the latest in high performance equipment. Introduce the latest mixtank equipment designed for CIP and SIP processes, mixing designed for portability and improve your overall mixing processes and results.
Is your goal to apply more internal stringent requirements?
If quality is your company’s number one goal, let us introduce you to modernized systems which will greatly exceed minimum FDA standards. We build quality into your mixtank, taking into account your specific mixing procedures so you can develop reproducible processes and measurable results to guarantee the safety and effectiveness of the products you manufacture.
