Miele PLW 8683 LD DC5 LAN laboratory dishwasher
This modern laboratory dishwasher is specially designed for the efficient reprocessing of sensitive laboratory utensils and offers sophisticated functions in a compact format. Developed primarily for laboratory bottles, pipettes, test tubes and other equipment, it is ideal for research laboratories, medical facilities and industrial quality controls where fast, reliable and reproducible cleaning is crucial. Compared to many competitor devices, the model scores with high flexibility, optimised cleaning performance and resource-saving operation, which provides decisive advantages in demanding laboratory situations.
Properties and advantages
The solution presented here is characterised by a powerful, variable-speed heating pump that enables a maximum circulation flow of up to 500 l/min. This removes stubborn residues and evenly wets sensitive wash ware. The integrated M Touch Flex control unit also allows precise selection and adjustment of the wash programmes. Users benefit from a transparent display of the programme sequence and programming options for individual requirements. The robust filter concept in the wash cabinet reliably protects the technology from soiling, which increases the longevity of the appliance.
When handling large quantities of laboratory glassware, the EasyLoad system ensures particularly fast and safe positioning of wash items on the nozzles. Adjustments to different bottle sizes or laboratory glassware types are virtually eliminated, as the holding grid and nozzles are perfectly matched. The optional injector loading also helps to clean pipettes and other laboratory components from the inside. The capacity is considerable: up to 128 laboratory bottles or alternatively 98 pipettes with additional laboratory glassware can be cleaned per batch. Extensive standard programmes (e.g. extra short, standard, universal and intensive) allow the cleaning process to be optimally adapted to the respective wash ware. If required, 10 free programme slots are available for individual processes so that the appliance can be used specifically in every laboratory.A particular highlight is the EcoDry system, which automatically opens the door at the end of the programme as soon as the temperature in the wash cabinet falls below 70 °C. This allows residual moisture to escape and the drying process is significantly faster. Thanks to the factory-fitted interfaces (Ethernet/WiFi), users can easily integrate the appliance into existing documentation systems or use Miele MOVE. This digital solution is used for seamless monitoring of the dishwashing process and contributes to transparent quality control.Technical key points

FAQs
How can the device be integrated into existing laboratory networks?
Thanks to the Ethernet and WLAN interface, the washer can be immediately integrated into computerised documentation and quality management systems.
What maintenance steps are necessary?
The multi-component filter system should be checked regularly and cleaned if necessary. The dosing pumps and seals should also be inspected and replaced if necessary.
Can the cleaning of different media be mixed?
The modular load carriers and individually customisable rinsing parameters allow a wide variety of laboratory glassware to be cleaned in one batch. However, attention should always be paid to chemical compatibility.
Is the device suitable for sensitive plastics?
Special programmes with reduced temperatures and adapted pressure are available for this purpose, so that even sensitive materials can be cleaned safely.
