Automated Shake and Fire Equipment
Automated Shake and Fire Equipment
Automating sample preparation of any kind can significantly increase throughput whilst minimising variability and reducing operator exposure. The Xelair® 1 Series of Shake & Fire workstations are a simple, scalable way to introduce automation, that:
- Provides a controlled, consistent and repeatable process
- Produces, records, stores and reports more consistent, reliable data
- Provides operationally reliable and safe automated equipment
- Reduces the potential for Repetitive Strain Injuries (RSI), caused by manual procedures
The Xelair® 1 Series Shake & Fire workstations offer a number of options, such as interchangeable nests to accommodate different devices and a wide variety of adjustable parameters as standard.
The Xelair®1 Series Shaker, with its patented friction-less motor, is configurable for parameters such as shake frequency, distance (amplitude), duration, acceleration, velocity and wave profile. Up to 10 devices can be pre-loaded in to each ‘nest’ thus speeding up loading of the work station. Read more about shaking…
If you want to minimise manual intervention for your device testing, we can supply more integrated workstations as your automation needs become more advanced. You can upgrade to the Xelair® 3 Series which includes additional functionality, for example Sample Recovery. Our Xelair® 5 Series, our premium technology offers a fully automated solution including device storage, waste firing, dose collection, dose recovery all the way up to primary and duplicate vials for HPLC analysis. We can even include HPLC integration if necessary.
As data becomes increasingly important to process improvement, we can assist you with the generation and data capture at every step of your process. All key variables can be stored and reported to assist with your validation process. This functionality provides you with the information and insight that matters most to you. Our systems conform to the highest standards and are built to last, providing you with a cost-effective solution, which will meet your future needs.

Applications for device shaking technology
Generally, this technology is used for metered-dose inhalers, but it can be employed for a wide variety of device testing and sample preparation. Our patented linear motor technology gives you a more robust, functional and flexible system, requiring less maintenance than traditional belt driven shakers. We can work with you, helping you to achieve the optimal system of sample preparation for your application.
