Xelair 1 Series Waste Shot Firer
The Xelair® waste shot firing unit is equipped with a vacuum channel, providing precise flow control (to a method set point) and instrumentation for flow monitoring. Once the inhaler is automatically actuated it will be advanced into position sealing with the waste collection mouthpiece before the vacuum channel valve is switched to initiate the firing of the waste dose. A balance can be included to weigh devices before and after firing.
All inhaler types and styles can be accommodated including batch storage.
For Dry Powder Inhalers, the waste dose is automatically collected by a ‘reverse jet pulse filter’ unit. The unique design of the filter ensures there is no degradation of flow and no operator exposure through the use of safe change valve technology.
The inhaler waste shot firing unit can be installed as a standalone unit or integrated into Astech’sXelair® or Xelox® fully automated systems. With these systems, multiple inhalers can be processed in parallel, thereby increasing throughput.
1. Performs flow check, adjustment and monitoring
2. Performs the shake (if necessary) e.g. inversion, rotary or linear
3. Opens and closes the inhaler mouthpiece caps, and actuates the device
4. Safely collects waste doses
