Key Features
-
Superior Cleaning Performance: The PLW 8636 delivers residue-free cleaning with a powerful variable-speed circulation pump, optimized spray arm geometry, and triple water filtration for flawless results. It supports high-pressure cleaning for stubborn soiling and low-pressure soaking for complete wetting, ensuring thorough reprocessing of laboratory glassware and cleaning of industrial components.
-
High-Capacity and Flexible Loading: With a spacious wash chamber, the unit accommodates up to 128 laboratory bottles, 98 pipettes, or 196 vials per cycle, with additional stacking options for mixed loads (e.g., 98 pipettes with 32 bottles). The EasyLoad system and modular load carriers provide flexibility for various glassware shapes and sizes, simplifying loading and ensuring efficient use of space.
-
DryPlus Hot Air Drying: Features a high-performance drying unit with 10% stronger air throughput compared to previous models, equipped with a HEPA H14 filter for particle-free drying air, ensuring spotless, dry glassware, including narrow-lumened items, ready for immediate use.
-
Process Monitoring and Compliance: Includes advanced monitoring of wash pressure, spray arm rotation, and conductivity to detect deviations and ensure reliable cleaning. The USB/Ethernet connectivity enables precise process documentation, meeting Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.
-
Programmable Controls: Freely programmable logic controls (PLC) with a large color touch display allow customization of wash programs, including pump speed, wash blocks, and special cycles like Pasteurization for food and flavor profile applications. 24 preset, adjustable programmes plus 50 empty freely programmable memory slots ensure flexibility for complex cleaning requirements.
-
Oil-Resistant Door Seals: Equipped with oil, grease, and wax-resistant door seals, ensuring durability and hygiene in demanding laboratory and industrial environments. Silicone-free seals are available as an option to minimize contamination risks.
-
Sustainable Design: Features a recycling tank option (Rec in, Rec out retrofitting kits) that reuses clean water from the final rinse or recycles wash solution, saving up to 15 liters per cycle (25% reduction compared to non-recycling models). The variable-speed pump optimizes water and energy consumption for eco-friendly operation.
-
Hygienic Chamber Design: Optimized chamber geometry with laser-welded seams and heating elements outside the wash cabinet ensures a crevice-free, hygienic environment, preventing contamination and ensuring perfect cleaning results.
-
Ergonomic and Maintenance-Friendly: Offers intuitive operation via a flush-fit color touch display, easy access to cleaning agents, and a maintenance-optimized design for short service times, enhancing user convenience and operational efficiency.
-
Safety Features: Includes spray arm and wash pressure monitoring to detect blockages or pressure drops, conductivity measurement for residue-free rinsing, and automatic door-locking mechanisms for operator safety.
