Miele laboratory washer PLW 8693 Safety DS10 MON
The lab washer presented here is particularly suitable for fire and rescue services that need to hygienically reprocess respiratory masks, regulators and other items of equipment in their daily work. Thanks to its powerful circulation pump and intelligent drying function, the appliance offers a particularly high standard of efficiency and safety compared to similar solutions on the market. This laboratory washer is a superior choice, especially when it comes to the sensitive reprocessing of masks, SCBA carriers or other components of personal protective equipment (PPE).
Performance features and technical advantages
The robust stainless steel construction and sophisticated rinsing system make this model a versatile tool. A special speed control ensures a variable rinsing pressure - high enough to remove stubborn soiling, but at the same time gentle on delicate respiratory protection components. The integrated hot-air drying system (DryPlus) guarantees residue-free drying of all components. In addition, the device can be networked via WiFi to realise centrally controlled monitoring and documentation processes.
Important technical data in brief:
- Design: freestanding appliance, suitable for undercounter installation (ExpertLine)
- Wash cabinet capacity: 145 litres (2 washing levels)
- Maximum rinsing temperature: up to 93 °C
- Capacity per batch: 6 respiratory masks and up to 12 regulators
- Cold rinsing, hot water rinsing and deionised water rinsing possible (3 connections)
- Variable-speed heating pump (Qmax 500 l/min.)
- Integrated drying unit with HEPA filter H13 (99.95 % filtration efficiency)
- Automatic door lock (AutoClose)
The variable rinsing and drying process is particularly advantageous for complex items of equipment, such as those used in the field of respiratory protection. The optional integrated dosing pump for canisters enables flexible handling of different cleaning agents and disinfectants. The device can also be connected to external dosing modules.
One of the key functions is seamless monitoring: a multi-component filter system as well as rinsing pressure and spray arm monitoring record the process parameters in real time. In the event of blockages or pressure drops, a message is issued immediately so that users know at all times whether the programme is running correctly. The monitoring package also ensures reliable process documentation.
Certifications and standards
In terms of safety and quality, the device complies with current standards in the laboratory and safety sector. The VDE mark, EN 61010-1, EN 61010-2-040 and the RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU are the relevant standards and are crucial for use in professional areas. With an IP 21 protection rating in accordance with EN 60529, the device is suitable for typical laboratory and fire service environments.
Concrete application examples
- Reprocessing of respiratory masks and regulators: Thanks to a special programme, all masks and regulators can be efficiently cleaned and disinfected.
- Disinfection of compressed air breathing apparatus carriers: The robust design and large rinsing chamber also enable thorough cleaning of large-volume racks.
- Cleaning sensitive PPE components: Lower rinsing pressure during certain programme phases protects sensitive seals and valves.
- Drying of hose components: DryPlus technology reliably removes moisture from angled areas so that hoses are immediately ready for use again.
FAQs
How does the device ensure residue-free drying?
The integrated DryPlus drying unit works with a separate fan and a class H13 HEPA filter. As a result, the drying air is filtered and fed cleanly into the wash cabinet, minimising residue and contamination.
Is it possible to create an individual programme?
Yes, the control system (M Touch Flex) allows you to create your own cleaning parameters. There are several free programme slots available in order to be able to react precisely to different levels of soiling in particular.
Which detergents are suitable for this laboratory dishwasher?
In principle, various liquid detergents and disinfectants can be used. An integrated dosing pump ensures the correct quantities are used, although care should be taken to ensure compatibility with materials such as rubber and plastics.
How are error messages displayed
Real-time monitoring of spray arms and rinsing pressure is integrated. If pressure losses or blockages occur, an error message appears on the display. In addition, acoustic signals can warn the technical staff.
Conclusion
This model impresses with its gentle yet powerful cleaning and sophisticated drying processes for different PPE components. In addition to a variable rinsing and drying performance, real-time monitoring ensures elementary process parameters so that error messages can be recognised immediately. Whether for fire brigades, rescue services or laboratory applications - the lab washer offers reliable cleanliness and sterility in the shortest possible time. Its robust materials, extensive programme options and standard-compliant safety standards make this appliance an ideal solution for demanding users who want to rely on hygiene, efficiency and process reliability in equal measure. The Miele PLW 8693 Safety DS10 MON laboratory washer is a modern technology that can be flexibly integrated into existing processes and is indispensable for flawless reprocessing.
