Key Features
-
Advanced Cleaning Precision: Equipped with a powerful circulation pump that dynamically adjusts water pressure, delivering high-pressure cleaning for stubborn residues and low-pressure soaking for thorough coverage of delicate glassware. Optimized spray arm technology and a multi-stage filtration system ensure spotless, contamination-free results.
-
Compact High-Capacity Chamber: Processes up to 64 narrow-necked glassware, 64 laboratory flasks, or 98 vials/test tubes per cycle, with options for mixed loads in the upper basket. The EasyLoad system with modular racks simplifies loading and maximizes space for various glassware sizes.
-
Demineralized Water (AD) Feed Pump: Includes a dedicated feed pump for unpressurised AD water from a tank by gravity, ensuring residue-free final rinses critical for analytical purity. An integrated water softener enhances rinse quality and protects glassware from mineral deposits.
-
Dosing of Cleaning Chemicals: Door flap for powder detergent and door reservoir for liquid neutraliser. Optional external liquid chemical dosing pumps.
-
User-Friendly Interface: Features a high-quality LCD display with Touch on Glass technology for quick access to programs and settings. The intuitive interface streamlines operation and ensures easy cleaning of the glass surface.
