Miele laboratory washer PLW 8683 LD DS10
The Miele PLW 8683 LD DS10 laboratory washer is specially designed for demanding cleaning processes in laboratory environments and guarantees maximum efficiency and reproducibility in the reprocessing of laboratory glassware. Thanks to its optimised loading systems and a powerful circulation pump, it offers significant advantages over conventional systems on the market. The fast and thorough cleaning of a wide variety of containers saves time and resources, which is particularly important in professional laboratories with high throughputs and tight schedules.
Performance features and benefits
This appliance combines flexible loading, reliable drying support and advanced networking capabilities. The integrated M Touch Flex touch display enables intuitive control and programme selection, while the variable-speed heating pump adjusts the rinsing pressure precisely to the degree of soiling. This ensures optimum results with every cleaning cycle. The most important technical data and functions include:
- Space for up to 128 laboratory bottles or 98 pipettes per batch
- Circulation pump with a flow rate of up to 500 litres per minute
- Triple water connection for cold, warm and demineralised water
- Short programme run times from 20 minutes
- Capacity of 19 standard programmes and 10 freely programmable programmes
- Factory-integrated WiFi module for process documentation
- EcoDry technology for automatic door opening and accelerated drying
The wash cabinet has a usable volume of 145 litres and is made of robust stainless steel (1.4301/304). Finally, outstanding features such as double spray pressure, a high degree of automation and optimised energy efficiency make this laboratory washer a long-term and economical investment.
The EasyLoad loading system significantly simplifies handling as it dispenses with variable height adjustment and adapts to different glassware sizes thanks to the combination of holding grids and nozzles. The appliance can also be customised precisely to specific requirements thanks to modular accessories such as flexible load carriers and inserts. This allows, for example, the simultaneous cleaning of 196 test tubes and other laboratory glassware, which offers considerable savings potential, especially in research laboratories with high capacity utilisation.
Another unique selling point is the fully automatic EcoDry drying support. Towards the end of the programme, the door opens as soon as the temperature in the wash cabinet has cooled to below 70 °C. This speeds up the drying of glassware and reduces energy consumption, as the residual moisture can escape quickly. In conjunction with surface drying using demineralised water rinsing, the appliance achieves virtually residue-free cleaning.
Functions such as AutoClose, rinsing pressure monitoring and extensive documentation options ensure optimum operational safety and simple operation. Numerous programmes are pre-installed (e.g. Intensive, Inorganica, Agar) to speed up routine processes. Programming for customised applications is also possible. Using the external Ethernet interface or the integrated WLAN module, the device can be securely integrated into process chains so that data is reliably available for validation or batch documentation, for example.
Certifications and standards
The laboratory washer fulfils important standards and guidelines that are required in professional laboratories. Particularly worth mentioning are:
- VDE mark (electrical safety)
- IP 21 for protection against water ingress
- EN 61010-1 and EN 61010-2-040 for device safety in the laboratory
- RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU for environmentally friendly device construction
This ensures a high safety standard that protects the integrity of the prepared laboratory equipment and the safety of personnel
Concrete application examples
- Cleaning large quantities of narrow-neck bottles with heavily dried sample residues
- Strict reprocessing of test tubes that have come into contact with organic substances such as ethanol, acetone or agar
- Efficient rinsing of pipettes via pipette programme and connected load carrier
- Removal of stubborn oil and grease contamination from containers in chemical laboratories
In everyday practice, the device is recommended for all areas in which different laboratory glassware needs to be cleaned simultaneously - for example in microbiological, pharmaceutical or chemical laboratories as well as research facilities with high throughput.
FAQs
How does the system ensure reliable drying?
On completion of the wash programme, the AutoOpen function opens the door at a sufficiently low temperature. The residual moisture escapes, the wash ware dries faster and is therefore immediately ready for use again.
Which water connections are required
The model has connections for cold, hot and demineralised water. An integrated water softener provides additional support if only hard cold or hot water is available.
Is it complicated to control the dishwasher?
Thanks to the M Touch Flex colour display, all programmes can be selected at the touch of a finger. Predefined and freely programmable sequences make cleaning tasks that occur particularly frequently easier.
Which safety features are integrated?
VDE mark, IP 21 and compliance with international standards such as EN 61010-1 and the RoHS directive guarantee a high standard of safety. In addition, AutoClose, water protection systems and flushing pressure monitoring provide protection during operation.
Can the appliance be integrated into existing monitoring systems?
Yes, it supports standard process documentation software and has various communication modules, including WLAN. This means that batch and process data can be tracked seamlessly.
Conclusion
This laboratory washer impresses with its high capacity, wide range of wash programmes and precise pressure control, which reliably removes soiling from every batch. In addition, the flexible EasyLoad system and automatic drying support ensure fast and resource-saving processing. Thanks to its extensive certifications and compliance with standards, the appliance is ideal for all professional laboratory environments where time, efficiency and quality are decisive factors.
