Miele laboratory washer PLW 8693 DS10
The Miele PLW 8693 DS10 laboratory dishwasher has been specially developed for professional use in laboratory environments and offers a reliable, efficient and highly configurable cleaning solution for a wide range of glassware and plastic items. Modernisations such as the EasyLoad system, extensive programmes and DryPlus hot-air drying ensure optimum cleaning results. Compared to conventional models on the market, this appliance stands out thanks to its customisable load carriers, its M Touch Flex colour display and a variable-speed heating pump that uses both water and energy sparingly.
Sophisticated equipment features for versatile requirements
This appliance is designed for maximum cleaning efficiency and flexibility and allows the reprocessing of laboratory bottles, test tubes or pipettes in large quantities. At the same time, the high-quality workmanship, such as the gap-free welded stainless steel rinsing chamber, contributes to durability and optimum hygiene. The most important technical highlights at a glance:
- Two rinsing levels offer space for up to 128 laboratory bottles or 98 pipettes per batch
- Variable-speed heating pump enables water pressure to be adapted to the rinsing process
- Short programme run time from 20 minutes ensures effective throughput
- DryPlus hot air drying with HEPA H13 filter protects against particles up to a separation efficiency of 99.95%
- M Touch Flex control including 20 pre-installed programmes and 10 free programme slots
- Intelligent EasyLoad system for quick and safe placement of glassware
- WLAN interface for networking and optional process documentation
In addition to these points, other features can be emphasised, such as the integrated steam condensation system, which supports fast drying, and the salt container in the door, which reduces maintenance work. Thanks to the robust stainless steel design, the outer panelling remains attractive and corrosion-resistant even under intensive use. In addition, the programmability allows individual customisation to map specific laboratory processes. This is supported by the optimised programmes (e.g. standard, intensive, organics, pipettes) for a wide range of applications, from sensitive plastics to heavily soiled bottles.
Certifications and standards
The high quality requirements are reflected in the existing certifications and standards. For example, the appliance fulfils the requirements of EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-040 for electrical safety and is compliant with the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. In addition, the VDE mark guarantees reliable protection, while IP protection class 21 in accordance with EN 60529 offers a corresponding level of protection against the ingress of foreign bodies and water. The device is therefore ideally equipped for professional laboratory use.
Typical applications in laboratory environments
- Quick cleaning of test tubes: Thanks to short programmes, glass-based laboratory equipment can be reused particularly quickly.
- Cleaning pipettes for microbiological tests: The customised pipette cycle effectively removes residues.
- Processing of sensitive plastic parts: The "Plastics" programme reduces temperature stresses and ensures gentle cleaning.
- Processing heavily soiled laboratory bottles: The variable rinsing pressure in intensive programmes reliably removes contamination.
The device is also ideal for use in analytical laboratories and research institutions, as both standardised methods and special programmes can be easily implemented. Flasks with agar residues or oil-smeared laboratory glassware are also cleaned sustainably, thoroughly and safely.
FAQs
How high is the water consumption at maximum load?
The exact consumption depends on the programme selected. The variable-speed heating pump automatically adjusts the rinsing pressure so that less water is required in lighter programmes.
Can the appliance process a wide range of detergents?
Yes, thanks to the integrated dosing pump and optional external dosing modules, it can be flexibly adapted to different cleaning chemicals.
How does the hot air drying work?
Through the DryPlus system with downstream class H13 HEPA filter. This ensures that impurities are reliably filtered out of the drying air.
Is process documentation easy to realise?
Yes, in addition to WLAN, an Ethernet interface is optionally available to record data or forward device information to a central documentation system.
What maintenance work is usually required?
This includes regularly replacing the HEPA filter according to the operating hours, topping up salt for the integrated softener and checking wear parts such as seals or load carriers.
Conclusion
This laboratory dishwasher combines robustness, high cleaning performance and sophisticated technical features. In particular, the combination of individually adjustable programmes, variable-speed heating pump and effective DryPlus drying makes cleaning sample bottles, pipettes, vials and test tubes incredibly easy. Laboratories benefit from short programme run times, proven particle filtration and particularly user-friendly handling thanks to the EasyLoad system. This makes the device an excellent investment in efficiency and cleaning quality for demanding laboratory processes.
