Miele OIL laboratory dishwashers for oil- and grease-containing samples

Miele OIL models are specifically developed for the reliable cleaning of laboratory glassware that comes into contact with oil, grease, or heavily contaminated samples. They are equipped with specially designed rubber seals (oil-resistant seals) that withstand solvents and oil-based residues, ensuring durable and safe operation even under intensive use in demanding environments.

Thanks to dedicated programs with extended pre-wash and rinse phases and higher temperatures, these units completely remove even the most stubborn contaminants. They are widely used in chemical laboratories, the petrochemical sector, and food research, where standard dishwashers fall short.

Lower baskets for maximum flexibility in the laboratory

Selecting the right Miele lower basket determines how efficiently and flexibly a laboratory dishwasher can be used. The A 150 lower basket is by far the most commonly used solution, as it can be combined with both injector modules and baskets. Thanks to the standard integrated spray arm at the base of the unit, this basket is suitable for most laboratory applications, from narrow-neck glassware to classic items such as graduated cylinders and test tubes.

For more specific situations, alternative options are available: the A 151 lower basket is mainly used in environments where beakers or similar glassware are cleaned. The A 200 lower basket is designed for cleaning large pipettes that cannot be placed vertically in the dishwasher, offering a solution for more specialized laboratories.

Upper baskets for flexible loading in Miele laboratory dishwashers

In the upper baskets of Miele laboratory dishwashers, caps, small test tubes, and beakers are typically placed. The A 101 upper basket is the standard choice in most laboratories. When additional loading height is required, the A 102 upper basket is used (up to 220 mm instead of 135 mm).

For cleaning small narrow-neck glassware, the A 100 for injector modules is also available.

Injector modules for safe and efficient cleaning of glassware

The Miele injector modules (A 300/3, A 301/5 and A 302/3) form the core of cleaning narrow-neck glassware such as Erlenmeyer flasks, round-bottom flasks, and bottles. The choice of the right model is always based on the volume range of the glassware, ensuring optimal and validated cleaning results.

Compatible racks make loading faster and easier: they ensure that the glassware is automatically centered on the injector and help prevent glass breakage. Thanks to the EasyLoad system, the glassware can rest directly on the injector without requiring adjustments to the base.

All injector modules are interchangeable with other modules for maximum flexibility and can be loaded both inside and outside the dishwasher. This allows Miele to guarantee a combination of safety, efficiency, and ease of use in every laboratory.

Modules for large laboratory glassware

For large glassware, Miele offers modules that ensure safe positioning and optimal cleaning. The A 306/1 is ideal for large graduated cylinders, while the A 313 injector module can be combined with racks: A 846 for large bottles and round-bottom flasks, A 847 for Erlenmeyer flasks, and A 848 for graduated cylinders.

With these modules, glassware up to 10 liters can be cleaned reliably. For even larger volumes, up to 50 liters, the Miele PLW 7111 offers a solution.

Insert racks and baskets for spray arm cleaning

For laboratory glassware without a narrow neck, Miele offers a range of insert racks and baskets specifically designed for spray arm cleaning. The most commonly used solution is the AK 12/1, suitable for cleaning beakers, bottle caps, and similar accessories. In addition, there are insert baskets for test tubes and other smaller items. Thanks to their robust stainless steel construction and compatibility with various upper and lower baskets, these inserts provide a reliable and flexible addition to Miele laboratory dishwashers.

They are therefore the ideal choice for all glassware and accessories that can be efficiently cleaned using spray arms.

Injector modules for specialized laboratory glassware

In addition to the standard modules for Erlenmeyer flasks, bottles, and graduated cylinders, Miele also offers injector modules for specific types of glassware. The A 304 is ideal for volumetric pipettes, the A 303 is suitable for narrow test tubes and delicate items, and the A 312 is designed for narrow, tall cylinders and specialized laboratory applications.

These modules use optimized injectors tailored to the shape and dimensions of the respective glassware. This ensures thorough internal cleaning without the risk of damage.

Miele ProCare detergents

For validated and safe cleaning, the right detergents and neutralization agents are essential for your Miele laboratory dishwasher. With Miele ProCare Lab products, you are assured of optimal removal of both organic and inorganic contaminants, as well as a pH-neutral finish. These specially developed products are perfectly matched to the programs of Miele machines and ensure consistent, reproducible results.

Water purification systems for laboratory dishwashers

For a validated final rinse process, Miele laboratory dishwashers require high-quality demineralized water. That is why we also distribute Neptec water purification systems, offering a reliable and cost-effective solution for every laboratory.

The most common choice is the Neptec Proteus 40: a compact reverse osmosis system with a production capacity of 40 liters per hour, an integrated 80-liter tank, booster pump, and full process monitoring via touchscreen. This system allows you to run 3–4 cycles per day without issues, with consistent water quality in accordance with ASTM and DIN standards.

For laboratories looking for a budget-friendly alternative, there are the ion exchangers IE 2500, IE 2800, IE 3600, and IE 6000. These pressure-resistant stainless steel cartridges, filled with high-quality mixed-bed resin, produce demineralized water with a conductivity of 0.1–20 µS/cm and are ideal for applications where the initial investment cost needs to remain low.

This way, every laboratory—depending on usage intensity and budget—can rely on a sustainable and suitable demineralized water solution for the optimal performance of their Miele laboratory dishwasher.

Frequently asked questions about Miele laboratory dishwashers

A Miele laboratory dishwasher is specifically designed for validated cleaning and disinfection of laboratory glassware and differs fundamentally from a household appliance.

The main differences are:

Injector modules: laboratory models are equipped with dedicated injector modules, allowing narrow-neck glassware (such as Erlenmeyer flasks, graduated cylinders, and bottles) to be thoroughly cleaned internally.

Chemical cleaning: the units operate with both alkaline and acidic detergents. This ensures efficient removal of different types of contamination, including organic and inorganic residues. At the end of the cycle, the pH is neutralized.

Final rinse with demineralized water: in the final rinse phase, demineralized water is used. This also removes contaminants present in tap water, ensuring a residue-free result.

Materials: the chamber is made of 316 stainless steel, providing high chemical resistance against aggressive cleaning agents and long-term use.

Temperature and programs: laboratory dishwashers reach higher temperatures and are equipped with specific programs for laboratory applications, in accordance with international guidelines.

In summary: a Miele laboratory dishwasher combines specialized technology and durable materials to guarantee reliable, reproducible, and safe cleaning results—something that cannot be achieved with a household appliance.

 
 

The Miele PLW 8683 is the direct successor to the PG 8583 and the G 7883. This model offers active drying, advanced process monitoring, and a modern EasyLoad system for faster and safer loading.

The models from the Miele PLW 8683 CD series are the successors to the G 7883 CD and PG 8583 CD. They are equipped with conductivity monitoring, glass door options, and full process traceability.

Miele offers a wide range of lower baskets, upper baskets, injector modules, and insert baskets, tailored to different types of glassware such as Erlenmeyer flasks, pipettes, graduated cylinders, and bottle caps. Thanks to this modular system, every laboratory can configure a setup that perfectly matches its daily workflow.

Miele’s EasyLoad system allows glassware to be positioned quickly and automatically on the injectors. This makes loading easier, reduces the risk of glass breakage, and better ensures validated cleaning. The EasyLoad injector modules are easily interchangeable with other modules and can be loaded outside the dishwasher.

Yes, Miele offers OIL versions of laboratory dishwashers, such as the PLW 8683 OIL and PLW 8693 OIL. These feature specialized oil-resistant seals and programs designed to safely and reproducibly remove stubborn oil and grease residues.

For a validated result in a Miele laboratory dishwasher, high-quality demineralized water is required in the final rinse phase. There are several solutions, each with their own characteristics:

Reverse osmosis (RO water / Type III water): this is the most common and recommended solution. It has the lowest cost of ownership, delivers consistent quality, and achieves a reduction of approximately 99% of all contaminants (ions, organic matter, microorganisms, particles, and endotoxins). This also removes contaminants originating from tap water used in the earlier stages of the program.

Ion exchangers: these systems only reduce inorganic contaminants (ions). They are attractive due to the lower initial investment cost, but the water quality is not consistent, as conductivity/resistivity decreases as the resin becomes saturated. With intensive use, the cost of resin replacement can increase significantly.

Type II EDI water: in some laboratories, especially inorganic labs or where central EDI water is available, this type of water is also used for the final rinse.

In summary: for most laboratories, RO water / Type III water offers the best balance between cost, reliability, and water quality for the final rinse process.

Depending on the model, there are three options:

No drying (for entry-level models),

EcoDry (the door opens automatically after the cycle at temperatures below 70°C),

DryPlus active drying (with HEPA filtration, ideal for difficult-to-dry items).

Yes. Through Miele Professional and the Belgian service team, an IQ/OQ (Installation Qualification / Operational Qualification) validation service can be carried out. This ensures that the installation and operation of the laboratory dishwasher are fully validated in accordance with GMP and GLP guidelines.

The range varies from compact models such as the PLW 8604 (an economical solution for schools) to the advanced PLW 8683 and PLW 8693 series with full process monitoring and various drying options. In addition, Miele also offers the large-chamber PLW 7111 for glassware up to 50 liters.
