Miele PLW 8683 CD GD DC5 CM laboratory dishwasher
The Miele PLW 8683 CD GD DC5 CM laboratory dishwasher offers a comprehensive solution for professional laboratory environments where the highest standards of hygiene, process stability and flexibility are required. Thanks to its powerful combination of modular load carriers, integrated hot unit and optional drying methods, this laboratory washer is particularly suitable for the reliable and reproducible cleaning of glassware, pipettes, vials and other laboratory utensils. Compared to similar appliances, it offers a sophisticated control system, smart networking options and short programme run times - ideal when speed and efficiency are required in a demanding everyday laboratory routine.
Powerful cleaning and sophisticated technology
The state-of-the-art equipment makes it possible to gently reprocess a wide variety of laboratory glassware. Both the integrated rinsing pressure and spray arm monitoring systems play a key role here: they immediately detect blocking or faulty rotational movements of the spray arms as well as irregularities in the rinsing pressure, thus ensuring consistently high cleaning quality. The entire system is designed for maximum flexibility and has up to 20 standard and freely programmable cleaning sequences.
Important features at a glance:
- Capacity: For 128 laboratory bottles or 98 pipettes per batch.
- Power supply: 3N AC 400V 50Hz or alternatively AC 230V 50Hz.
- Extremely powerful circulation: 500 l/min. Circulation pump for efficient rinsing runs.
- Fast processes: Shortest programme runtime of just 20 minutes.
- High ease of use: M Touch Flex colour display for intuitive programme selection.
- WiFi ex works: Secure option for process documentation and network printer connection.
- High-quality material: Stainless steel wash cabinet, welded without gaps.
In addition to cleaning, the integrated HEPA filter (class H14) ensures effective particle separation from the drying air. Narrow-necked laboratory glassware (e.g. reagent bottles) in particular benefit from the optional hot unit, as hollow instruments are dried much better. The patented EasyLoad system provides users with greater safety when positioning different glassware shapes and sizes without having to manually adjust the holders each time.
Certifications and standards
This laboratory washer fulfils important guidelines and standards that are required in modern laboratories. It complies with the requirements of EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-040 as well as the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU. It also has the VDE mark for electrical safety and an IP protection rating of IP 21, which underpins its reliable compliance with high safety standards.
Practical application examples
- Cleaning cell culture bottles: When cell culture media such as agar or more complex organic residues need to be removed, the intensive and organica programmes ensure first-class rinsing results.
- Reprocessing laboratory glassware for analytical chemistry: Conductivity monitoring ensures a thorough rinsing process so that even sensitive analysis methods (e.g. HPLC) are not affected by residues.
- Pipette cleaning: With the help of the flexible loading carriers and a special pipette programme, up to 98 pipettes are cleaned in a time-saving and validatable manner.
- Removal of oil residues in technical laboratories: The matching rinsing programme - Oil - enables powerful and gentle cleaning.
FAQs
How does the DryPlus drying programme work?
DryPlus drying channels heated air into the wash cabinet via an integrated drying unit. A HEPA filter in class H14 reliably removes particles so that hollow instruments and narrow-necked vessels in particular dry without leaving any residue.
Which substances can be safely removed
The programmes are designed for different types of contamination, from inorganic particles, agar residues and oil deposits to organic impurities. The efficient rinsing pressure monitoring ensures reproducible results.
How flexible are the load carriers?
Thanks to the EasyLoad system, inserts and holding racks can be customised in a variety of ways. In this way, narrow-necked tubes, test tubes or vials can be positioned correctly in just a few simple steps.
What role does conductivity monitoring play?
This monitoring ensures that detergent and neutralising agent residues are reliably rinsed out. This ensures that the rinsing process achieves the required purity, which is essential for applications such as analytical chemistry or quality control.
Can additional dosing pumps be integrated?
Yes, several dosing options are provided. In addition to two integrated pumps for detergents and neutralising agents, further pumps can be added to dose disinfectants or special chemicals, for example.
Conclusion
This model impresses with its flexible configuration options, reliable monitoring systems and certified safety. The intelligent M Touch Flex control system and the factory-integrated WiFi module facilitate process control and documentation. In addition, DryPlus drying in combination with a powerful HEPA filter ensures effective drying of narrow glassware. This laboratory washer is a comprehensive and safe all-in-one solution for those who rely on accurate, validatable cleaning results and time savings in the laboratory.
