HL-SMU: Shaker Mixing Unit

Efficient and reliable shaking for automated laboratories

The HL-SMU is an innovative platform shaker unit that has been specially designed for use in fully automated laboratory systems. It can be seamlessly integrated into any automation solution and, based on its platform shaker, it enables oscillating movements in two directions. This motion mechanism ensures effective mixing of liquids and makes the HL-SMU the ideal solution for homogenizing different quantities of material, for example after a dosing process.

With its versatility, precision and efficiency, the HL-SMU is an indispensable component for modern wet chemical laboratories that rely on maximum automation and reproducible results.
 

Precision and speed through accurate positioning

The HL-SMU was developed for high-precision and fast processes. Thanks to the special zero-point lock, the shaker platform reliably returns to its starting position, which ensures short cycle times and reproducible transport of the sample vessels through the handling system. This feature allows for continuous loading and unloading of individual samples without the need to fill all positions, significantly increasing the efficiency of the entire process.

Versatile customization and flexible movement patterns

The HL-SMU offers maximum flexibility and can be used with a variety of tube types made of different materials, including laboratory beakers, sample tubes with screw caps, and microwave digestion vessels. The HL-SMU is designed for use with an orbital or circular shaker, which guarantees quiet and even mixing due to its long stroke.

The continuously adjustable speed between 10 and 500 revolutions per minute allows precise adaptation to the respective application. For specific requirements, alternative shakers with vibrating, reciprocating or tumbling motion patterns can be integrated.
