Miele laboratory dishwasher PLW 8636 LAB MON
This laboratory washer has been specially developed for demanding applications in laboratory environments where reliable and efficient cleaning of laboratory glassware, pipettes, narrow-necked glassware and other containers is essential. The appliance impresses with a wide range of powerful functions that ensure maximum process reliability, flexibility and short throughput times. Compared to many similar devices on the market, this solution offers an extremely robust design, oil and grease-resistant seals and a freely programmable control system for individual customisation.
Versatile application options and customised solutions
The wide range of programmes covers almost all common cleaning requirements in the laboratory. Users can choose between standard, intensive and universal applications and even special programmes such as organics, agar or pipettes. These programmes can be used to reliably clean heavily soiled laboratory sets, sensitive plastic utensils or oil-contaminated laboratory glassware. Thanks to DryPlus hot-air technology, the cleaned wash items are optimally dried, which ensures a residue-free and safe drying process, especially for small volumetric flasks, vials and pipettes.
The wash cabinet can be loaded with up to 128 narrow-necked tubes or 98 pipettes. The user can also carry out mixed loads, for example 98 pipettes together with 32 laboratory bottles or combined loads with vials and bottles. The flexible basket design in conjunction with the EasyLoad system allows different glass formats to be loaded quickly, easily and without errors.
Performance features and technical highlights
The following seven points summarise essential technical aspects that are particularly important for smooth everyday laboratory work:
- Variable-speed circulation pump (max. flow rate: 600 l/min.) for individual pressure adjustment
- Process monitoring through rinsing pressure, spray arm and conductivity control
- Extensive programme selection with 24 standard and 50 freely assignable programme slots
- DryPlus hot-air drying with upstream class H14 HEPA filter
- Design details such as oil and grease-resistant seals, laser-welded wash cabinet and heating elements outside the wash cabinet
- USB interface for customer service and Ethernet interface for process documentation
- Robust design with a tested service life of 15,000 hours
Many other aspects are also worth mentioning. The appliance has a generous usable wash cabinet volume of 146 litres and two wash levels that ensure efficient media input by directly connecting the load carriers. The integrated water softener, the triple water filter system and the option of connecting cold, hot and demineralised water ensure a high level of cleaning quality. Even critical processes when handling substances contaminated with oil or grease are safely mastered thanks to the special seals. If required, the door can be securely locked using an electric lock, providing additional protection against process interruptions.
In terms of certifications, the appliance fulfils the CE requirements and is also tested in accordance with VDE, IP 21 and the RoHS directive. Thanks to redundant temperature control and safety functions such as flushing pressure monitoring, the system works in a traceable manner at all times. In very sensitive areas of application, such as microbiological or pharmaceutical laboratories, constant compliance with defined temperature levels is ensured.
Concrete application examples
- Cleaning laboratory bottles in microbiological research laboratories: highly effective rinsing processes remove bacterial residues and prevent cross-contamination.
- Processing of oil-contaminated glassware in chemical laboratories: The robust pump removes stubborn deposits, while the oil-resistant door seals offer maximum process reliability.
- Cleaning sensitive plastic parts, such as measuring beakers or centrifuge tubes: Special programmes such as Plastics or Plastics Plus protect the material and prevent deformation.
- Large-area loading with vials, test tubes or Erlenmeyer flasks: The flexible loading method in combination with the powerful DryPlus drying system ensures residue-free cleanliness.
Frequently asked questions and answers
How is the dosage of cleaning chemicals monitored?
A precise oval gear meter is available that measures the flow rate of the cleaning agent. This determines the exact dosing volume and deviations are displayed immediately.
Can I adapt the programmes to our laboratory requirements?
Yes, the control unit is freely programmable. There are already 24 programmes stored ex works, and an additional 50 memory locations are available for customer-specific processes.
How does the appliance ensure that the wash ware is completely dry?
DryPlus works with an integrated HEPA H14 filter, which largely removes particles from the drying air. This is particularly important for narrow-lumen laboratory glassware or sensitive plastic containers.
Which safety functions are integrated?
In addition to the electric door lock, the rinsing pressure, spray arm rotation and conductivity are controlled. The appliance also has an intelligent water filter system, integrated water softener and redundant temperature controls.
Is loading complicated?
Thanks to the innovative EasyLoad system, narrow-neck jars, vials and other containers can be placed quickly and correctly without having to adjust the height of the holders beforehand.
What role does the wash cabinet design play?
The sink compartment has been welded almost gap-free using laser technology, which makes it easier to clean residues and improves hygiene. Radiators are located outside the interior, reducing contamination in hard-to-reach areas.
Which cleaning media can be used
Due to its robust design and oil-resistant seals, the device is compatible with a wide range of liquid cleaning media. The built-in flow measurement is specially designed for a wide range of process chemicals.
Conclusion
This laboratory cleaning device impresses with its flexibility, reliability and extensive safety functions. The freely programmable control with a large selection of programmes, the highly efficient DryPlus hot-air drying in combination with a HEPA filter and the powerful and robust pump are the ideal solution for demanding cleaning processes. In addition, the sophisticated design, the oil-resistant seals and the EasyLoad system enable economical, safe and fast loading with a wide range of laboratory products. This makes the device particularly interesting for chemical, microbiological and analytical laboratory environments that require reliable, reproducible and validatable cleaning.
