The Miele PLW 8693 [Safety DS10 MON] Mask Washer is a high-performance washer-disinfector specifically designed for the safe and efficient reprocessing of respiratory protective equipment (RPE), such as breathing masks, regulators, and compressed air breathing apparatuses, in fire departments, industrial settings, and emergency services. Engineered with Miele’s renowned German precision, this unit combines advanced cleaning technology, robust process monitoring, and sustainable features to ensure hygienic, residue-free results while maintaining the integrity of critical safety equipment. It features liquid detergent dosing, DryPlus drying, and comprehensive monitoring, the PLW 8693 delivers exceptional performance, compliance, and reliability for high-throughput reprocessing needs.
Key Features
-
Optimized Cleaning and Disinfection: Utilizes a variable-speed heater pump to adjust wash pressure dynamically, delivering high-pressure cleaning for stubborn soiling and low-pressure soaking for complete wetting of complex RPE surfaces. Chemical disinfection ensures compliance with hygiene standards for respiratory equipment.
-
Dedicated RPE Processing: Processes one compressed air breathing apparatus or multiple breathing masks per cycle, with specialized load carriers tailored to RPE components, ensuring secure positioning and thorough cleaning without damage to sensitive materials.
-
DryPlus Hot Air Drying: Equipped with a high-performance drying unit featuring a HEPA H14 filter for particle-free drying air, ensuring spotless, dry masks and regulators ready for immediate reuse.
-
Advanced Process Monitoring: Includes wash pressure, spray arm rotation, and conductivity sensors to detect deviations, ensuring reproducible cleaning results. Integrated oval-wheel counters monitor liquid detergent dosing for precision across viscosities, supporting Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) compliance. WiFi connectivity enables process documentation for traceability.
-
Programmable Controls: Features the M Touch Flex full-touch colour display with intuitive navigation, offering 4 pre-installed programs and 10 freely programmable program slots for customized reprocessing.
-
Hygienic and Durable Design: Constructed with stainless steel (exterior and chamber) for corrosion resistance and hygiene, with 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 use with a variable-speed pump that adjusts water and energy consumption to load size. Demineralized water (AD) connection ensures residue-free rinsing, while efficient liquid dispensing minimizes chemical waste.
-
Safety Features: Equipped with spray arm and wash pressure monitoring to detect blockages, conductivity measurement for residue-free rinsing, and automatic door-locking for operator safety. The HEPA H14 filter removes particles, enhancing user safety.
-
Ergonomic and Maintenance-Friendly: Offers user-friendly touch controls . Maintenance-optimized design ensures short service times, supported by SIC’s own Miele trained engineers..
