To overview Large-capacity laboratory glasswashers

PLW 8617 [EL RT]

Laboratory glasswasher – single door, with recycling tank, 1,150 mm wide, 12.395 (351) ft³ (l) l usable capacity.

Performance/cycle, e.g., 216 laboratory bottles, 588 vials, or 294 pipettes
Environmentally friendly thanks to recycling tank
Recycling tank
Environmentally friendly: efficient saving of water and energy.
Flexible and simple – modular load carriers & SimpleLoad system
Flexible use of load carriers
The flexible load carriers from Miele Professional offer an extremely wide range of loading options. With a small number of load carriers and additional modules and inserts, the load carriers can be flexibly adapted to the load items in just a few steps, optimizing both costs and the amount of space required.
SimpleLoad
The SimpleLoad system makes the reprocessing of laboratory glassware considerably faster, simpler and safer. The biggest benefit afforded by the new system is that load items can be positioned over nozzles both more simply and faster as the height adjustment of holders is no longer necessary, thanks to the smart combination of nozzles and holding frames. As a result, correct positioning is easier than ever before.
Up to 60% less water consumption based on the load ¹
Efficient – powerful pump performance with variable-speed pump
Sustainable thanks to 2-pump technology
Smart 2-pump technology is at the heart of this laboratory glasswasher from Miele. The variable-speed pump is particularly flexible regarding the basket docking system. Using this pump, the wash pressure and water demand are adjusted in line with the relevant requirements – high pressure facilitates the removal of stubborn soiling, while low pressure guarantees complete soaking. This guarantees maximum cleaning performance while ensuring sustainable use of resources.
Reliable results – spray arm monitoring and conductivity meter
Spray arm monitoring
Reliable cleaning performance thanks to the monitoring of the rotation speed of the spray arm.
Conductivity monitoring
Reliably clean: Residue-free final rinse for perfect results.
