The Miele PLW 8683 [Safety DS10 MON] Mask Washer is a high-efficiency washer-disinfector engineered for the safe and thorough reprocessing of respiratory protective equipment (RPE), including breathing masks, regulators, and compressed air breathing apparatuses, fire departments, industrial settings, and emergency services. Built with Miele’s renowned German precision, this unit integrates advanced cleaning technology, robust process monitoring, and eco-friendly features to deliver hygienic, residue-free results while preserving the integrity of critical safety equipment. It features liquid detergent dosing, and comprehensive monitoring. The PLW 8683 ensures compliance, reliability, and performance for demanding reprocessing needs.
Key Features
-
Advanced Cleaning and Disinfection: Employs a variable-speed heater pump to dynamically adjust wash pressure, providing high-pressure cleaning for stubborn soiling and low-pressure soaking for thorough wetting of complex RPE surfaces. Chemical disinfection ensures compliance with stringent hygiene standards for respiratory equipment.
-
Tailored RPE Processing: Processes one compressed air breathing apparatus or multiple breathing masks and regulators per cycle, with specialized load carriers designed to securely hold RPE components, ensuring effective cleaning without compromising material integrity.
-
Robust Process Monitoring: Includes sensors for wash pressure, spray arm rotation, and optional conductivity measurement to detect deviations, guaranteeing reproducible cleaning results. Integrated oval-wheel counters ensure precise liquid detergent dosing, supporting Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance. WiFi connectivity enables process documentation for traceability.
-
Intuitive Programmable Controls: Equipped with the M Touch Flex full-touch color display for user-friendly operation, offering 4 pre-installed programs and 10 freely programmable programme slots for customized reprocessing.
-
Hygienic and Robust Design: Constructed with stainless steel (exterior and chamber) for corrosion resistance and hygiene, featuring laser-welded seams to eliminate crevices. The 4-fold filtration system (large surface filter, coarse filter, glass breakage filter, micro-fine filter) ensures clean water circulation, preventing contamination.
-
Sustainable Operation: Optimizes resource efficiency with a variable-speed pump that adjusts water and energy consumption based on load size. Demineralized water (AD) connection ensures residue-free rinsing, while precise liquid dispensing minimizes chemical waste.
-
Enhanced Safety Features: Includes spray arm and wash pressure monitoring to detect blockages, optional conductivity measurement for residue-free rinsing, and automatic door-locking for operator safety.
-
Ergonomic and Maintenance-Optimized: Features intuitive touch controls. Maintenance-friendly design ensures minimal downtime, backed by SiC’s nationwide service network.
