Miele laboratory washer PLW 8636 LAB
The Miele laboratory washer offers powerful yet gentle cleaning for a wide range of laboratory glassware, pipettes and vials. With its modular loading system and integrated hot air drying, it is particularly suitable for narrow-necked laboratory glassware and enables fast, efficient processing. Compared to other devices, this model impresses with its flexible programming, robust design and ability to reliably remove stubborn soiling.
High-quality cleaning and drying solution for laboratories
Thanks to a circulation pump with up to 600 l/min and variable speed, both sensitive and heavily soiled workpieces can be cleaned at optimum pressure. The lower pressure setting enables full-surface wetting, while the high pressure removes stubborn soiling including oil residues. An oil and grease-resistant door seal increases durability in demanding laboratory environments.
The integrated HEPA filter (class H14) ensures that the DryPlus hot air technology dries the interior to the highest level of hygiene. Thanks to the high separation efficiency of 99.995 %, hardly any particle emissions are produced during drying. This is particularly relevant in laboratories that work with sensitive samples or demanding production materials.
Numerous automatic programmes enable time-efficient and safe reprocessing of narrow-necked jars, laboratory bottles and other glass containers. Additional inorganic, organic and intensified wash programmes are also available to optimally remove specific residues such as agar, oil or various chemical substances. The freely programmable PLC control system also opens up further options for customisation.Important key data at a glance
- Storage capacity: up to 128 narrow-necked tubes, 98 pipettes or 196 test tubes per batch
- Maximum of 2 rinsing levels with direct load carrier pressure coupling
- Short programme run times from 62 minutes
- Rinsing temperature up to 93 °C, ideal combination of hygiene and gentle cleaning
- Robust stainless steel housing with service-friendly design

The remaining technical data further emphasises the appliance's performance. For example, the wash cabinet has a usable volume of 146 litres; optional accessories such as additional dosing pumps or a recycling tank allow individual adaptation to different sector requirements. An Ethernet interface is also available for process documentation software.
The great advantage of the stainless steel components used is their durability and hygiene: the gap-free welded wash cabinet enables thorough cleaning without any hard-to-reach areas. Heating elements outside the wash cabinet prevent deposits and make maintenance easier. The temperature-stable seals, combined with special programmes, ensure reliable cleanliness for various laboratory substances.
Certifications and standards
The appliance is fully CE-compliant and fulfils other important directives such as the Machinery Directive 2006/42/EC and the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. A Kiwa certificate ensures water safety. The IP protection class in accordance with EN 60529 (IP 21) is also guaranteed and confirms suitability for humid working environments. A VDE mark also confirms electrical safety.
Application examples
- Pharmaceutical laboratories: Cleaning of vials with organic residues and subsequent low-germ drying
- Chemical research facilities: Removal of stubborn substances from test tubes and flasks
- Biotechnological applications: Cleaning pipettes and narrow-necked bottles for cell or microbiology experiments
- Quality control in industrial laboratories: removal of oils and fats during material tests
FAQs
How can the device be adapted to different wash items?
Thanks to the freely programmable control, users can vary the speed and therefore the rinsing pressure. Temperature settings, run times and detergent quantities can be precisely adjusted by selecting from numerous programmes.
Which load carriers are best suited
The modular load carriers with EasyLoad system allow the wash ware to be placed quickly and safely. Nozzles and holding racks can be adjusted in a few simple steps, allowing pipettes and bottles to be cleaned in combination.
How high is the temperature for rinsing?
It can be up to 93 °C. This effectively inactivates classic bacteria and germs while at the same time protecting sensitive laboratory glassware.
Can the drying system minimise particle emissions?
Yes, the integrated class H14 HEPA filter keeps the drying air practically particle-free. This makes the appliance particularly suitable for sterilisation-related processes.
Conclusion
All in all, this laboratory washer combines high-quality materials, sophisticated technology and flexible programming to ensure efficient and reliable cleaning. Whether for narrow-necked laboratory bottles, pipettes or other sensitive glassware, the appliance offers a wide range of applications and optimum drying performance. The robust design, a powerful circulation pump and extensive programmes provide laboratory professionals with fast, documentable and economical process handling. Certifications such as the CE or VDE mark also prove that the appliance fulfils important quality and safety standards. This makes the laboratory washer a valuable component in demanding laboratory environments where cleanliness and safety are top priorities.
