Can anybody tell is it necessary to qualify the Shifter which is in use. If yes what are the parameters that we need to consider?
no need to qualify, as it is all redy in its functioning.
To ensure the consistency
If it is new
minimum no (x) batches - measurable quality charecterestics before and after shifting process to be planned (protocol) , studied and reported (Report).
X to be justified - why and how?
If it is in running
Trend analysis - if you have quality charecterestics both before and after sifter- comparison and conclusion with effectiveness of sifting process with consistency.
(It is a strong support)
If you have only the results after sifting - considered Ok to prove the consistency but sifting effectivenss could not be supported.
Hope clear
each and every equipment to be qualify, its must. you have use this equipment in manufacturing process that why you have do the IQ,OQ,PQ.
IQ was you check the following points
Internal Dimensions

Activity /Test procedure On/Off test
- Machine should on and Off with operating push button switch. Machine started and Stopped by push button
2.Test for unbalance Machine should run smooth Smooth run observed
3.Test for vibration No abnormal vibration No abnormal vibration observed - Test for noise No abnormal noise should be observed No abnormal noise observed
and
check the performance test.
