Key Features

• Powerful Cleaning Performance: Features a variable-speed pump that adjusts circulation pressure and water consumption to the load, delivering high-pressure cleaning for tough residues and low-pressure soaking for delicate glassware. Advanced spray arm technology and a multi-stage filtration system ensure spotless, contamination-free results.

• SmartLoad Plus Flexibility: The SmartLoad Plus system allows up to three baskets on telescopic runners to be flexibly positioned at four different levels, accommodating various load heights and maximizing chamber space. Baskets can be used interchangeably across all levels, enhancing loading versatility.

• EasyLoad System Efficiency: The EasyLoad system simplifies and accelerates loading with a smart combination of nozzles and holding frames, eliminating the need for height adjustments. It ensures secure positioning, thorough internal cleaning, and material protection for glassware of all shapes and sizes, increasing capacity for 100 ml bottles by over 50% compared to previous models.

• High-Capacity SlimLine Design: Processes up to 128 laboratory flasks, 98 pipettes, or large containers up to 50 liters in a compact footprint, ideal for space-constrained labs. The spacious 351-liter chamber provides room for diverse loads, from small vials to large vessels.

• DryPlus Hot Air Drying: Equipped with a powerful hot air drying system featuring a HEPA H14 filter for particle-free drying air, ensuring spotless, dry glassware, including narrow-lumened items, ready for immediate use. Delivers reliable drying results with efficient cycle times.

• Freely Programmable Controls: Offers a high-quality color touch display with 23 preset programmes and 20 freely programmable slots. Intuitive touch controls and clear text in country-specific languages enhance user convenience and operational safety.

• Process Monitoring and Documentation: Monitors wash pressure and spray arm rotation to detect blockages or pressure drops, ensuring consistent cleaning. Optional conductivity meter, printer and USB/Ethernet connectivity enables precise process documentation, aligning with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.

• Hygienic Stainless Steel Chamber: Constructed with high-grade stainless steel (1.4404/316L) featuring laser-welded seams and external heating elements for a crevice-free, hygienic interior that prevents contamination and ensures durability in demanding lab conditions.

• Eco-Conscious Operation: Optimizes resource use with a variable-speed pump that adjusts water and energy consumption based on load size. Integrated water softener ensures optimal reprocessing results, while optional recycling tank compatibility reduces water use, promoting sustainable lab practices.

• User-Friendly Features: Includes multi-colour chamber lighting for cycle status visibility, a flush-fit touch display for easy surface cleaning, and a maintenance-optimized design for minimal downtime. Connectivity-ready for integration with lab management systems, supported by SiC’s team of Miele trained Engineers.

• Safety and Reliability: Features spray arm and pressure monitoring for consistent cleaning performance, with automatic door locks for operator safety. The HEPA H14 filter protects against contamination, ensuring reliable results for sensitive experiments.
