The Miele PLW 8615 Laboratory Glasswasher is a large-capacity washer-disinfector engineered for the analytically pure reprocessing of laboratory glassware in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, chemical, and research laboratories. Built with Miele’s renowned German precision, this model delivers residue-free results through innovative two-pump technology, flexible loading systems, and eco-efficient operation. The PLW 8615 features a 351-liter chamber, Easy Load system, spray arm monitoring, conductivity meter, and an optional HEPA H14-filtered drying system, making it ideal for high-throughput labs requiring stringent compliance. Its intuitive controls and sustainable design enhance productivity while minimizing resource use.

Key Features

• Innovative Two-Pump System: Features smart two-pump technology with a variable-speed pump that adjusts wash pressure and water volume to load size, delivering high pressure for stubborn residues and low pressure for thorough soaking. A second pump dedicated to spray arms ensures maximum cleaning performance with up to 60% less water consumption for certain loads.

• High-Capacity Chamber: Accommodates up to 216 laboratory flasks, 588 vials, or 294 pipettes per cycle, with a spacious 351-liter usable capacity. The Easy Load system and modular load carriers offer flexible configurations for diverse glassware, optimizing space and reprocessing efficiency.

• Easy Load System: Simplifies and accelerates loading by allowing wash items to be positioned over nozzles without height adjustments, using a smart combination of nozzles and holding frames. This system enhances loading speed, protects glassware, and ensures thorough cleaning.

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

• Conductivity and Spray Arm Monitoring: Includes an integrated conductivity meter for residue-free final rinses and spray arm monitoring to track rotation speed, detecting blockages or pressure drops for consistent, reproducible cleaning results.

• Intuitive Programmable Controls: Features a flush-fitted 178 mm (7″) color touch display with over 200 program memory slots, offering 30 pre-installed programs and 170 freely programmable slots. The intuitive interface supports country-specific languages and simplifies process control.

• Hygienic Chamber Design: Constructed with high-quality 1.4404/316L stainless steel, featuring laser-welded seams, pitched surfaces, and cove corners, with heating elements outside the chamber for a crevice-free, hygienic interior that prevents contamination.

• Eco-Efficient Operation: Includes a pre-heating tank for shorter cycle times and a recycling tank to conserve water and energy, adjusting water volume to load size. The two-pump system reduces resource use, supporting sustainable laboratory practices.

• Process Documentation: Connectivity-ready with optional USB/Ethernet interfaces for digital cycle records or an integrated printer for paper-supported documentation, ensuring compliance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP) and Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.

• User-Friendly Features: Offers multi-color chamber lighting to indicate program phase status, a storage unit for up to four 10-liter canisters of Lab process chemicals.

• Safety and Reliability: Features automatic door locks, spray arm monitoring, and a HEPA H14 filter for contamination-free drying air, ensuring operator safety and reliable results for sensitive experiments.
