PLW 8617 [EL RT]

Lab washer, electric heating – single door, with recycling tank, 45" (1,150 mm) wide, 12.395 (351) ft³ (l) usable capacity.

Performance/cycle, e.g., 216 laboratory bottles, 588 vials, or 294 pipettes
Environmentally friendly thanks to recycling tank
Recycling tank
Environmentally friendly: efficient saving of water and energy.
Flexible and simple – modular load carriers & SimpleLoad system
Flexible use of load carriers
The flexible load carriers from Miele Professional offer an extremely wide range of loading options. With a low number of load carriers combined with additional modules and inserts, the load carriers can be flexibly adapted to the wash items in just a few steps, optimizing both costs and the amount of space required.
SimpleLoad
The SimpleLoad system makes reprocessing laboratory glassware considerably faster, simpler, and more efficient. The biggest advantage of the new system is that wash items can be positioned over nozzles both more simply and faster as it is no longer necessary to adjust the height of the holders thanks to the smart combination of nozzles and holding frames. This makes it easy to position items correctly.
Up to 60% less water consumption based on the load ^*e.g., 60% saving with 100 ml laboratory bottles in Universal Max program compared to Lab Universal program for PG 8527
Efficient – high pump performance with the variable-speed pump
Sustainable thanks to 2-pump technology
Smart 2-pump technology is at the heart of this laboratory glasswasher from Miele. The variable-speed pump is particularly flexible regarding the basket docking system. Using this pump, the wash pressure and water demand are adjusted in line with the relevant requirements – high pressure facilitates the removal of stubborn soiling, while low pressure guarantees complete soaking. This guarantees maximum cleaning performance while ensuring sustainable use of resources.
Reliable results – spray arm monitoring and conductivity meter
Spray arm monitoring
Reliable cleaning performance thanks to the monitoring of the rotation speed of the spray arm.
Conductivity monitoring
Reliably clean: Residue-free final rinse for perfect results.
