High-Capacity Under counter Cleaning System for Laboratory Glassware
Deliver powerful, reproducible cleaning performance to your demanding laboratory with the brand-new Miele Professional PLW 8505 Lab Glassware Washer. Engineered for absolute cleanliness and process reliability, this high-capacity under counter washer handles everything from light soiling to stubborn chemical residues on flasks, beakers, pipettes, and specialized lab glassware.
By sourcing your new Miele PLW 8505 through HiTechTrader, you combine the world-class engineering of Miele Professional with the trusted customer service, logistics, and laboratory expertise we have provided to researchers and procurement officers since 1982.
Automated laboratory washers provide significant advantages over manual washing, including reproducible cleaning results, reduced contamination risk, consistent detergent dosing, and improved laboratory efficiency. The Miele PLW 8505 is specifically engineered to handle laboratory glassware with complex geometries and narrow necks while maintaining validated cleaning performance.
This washer supports laboratories in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, academic, and industrial research environments by improving throughput, reducing manual washing, and enabling reliable GLP-compliant process documentation.
The PLW 8505 features a powerful circulation pump with a high flow rate that delivers strong wash pressure and comprehensive coverage. Key performance benefits include:
Optimized stainless-steel wash cabinet design
Rotating spray arms for uniform water distribution
Specialized injector options for narrow-neck glassware
This system supports the reliable cleaning of up to 39 narrow-neck items per cycle, making it highly suitable for laboratories with demanding glassware throughput requirements.
Consistent rinsing and accurate chemical dosing are essential for preventing residue and contamination. To ensure analytical-grade cleanliness, the PLW 8505 includes:
Built-in DI Water Connection: Enables final rinsing with demineralized water, dramatically reducing spotting and protecting sensitive glassware from mineral deposits and corrosion.
Two Integrated Dispenser Pumps: Automatically dose liquid detergent and neutralizing agents, improving cycle-to-cycle consistency and saving bench space compared to utilizing external chemical dosing systems.
The modern “Touch on Glass” LCD control panel provides intuitive operation, a clear-text display, and quick shortcut keys to access predefined wash programs tailored to different lab applications.
These intelligent controls feature multi-program selection, allowing laboratories to easily standardize validated wash cycles for analytics, microbiology, plastics, and intensive cleaning—all without requiring manual intervention or complex operator training.
Unlike many opaque-front washers on the market, the PLW 8505 features a full-glass drop-down door. This allows users to visually monitor spray patterns and load stability during active wash cycles, aiding in rapid validation and troubleshooting.
Furthermore, its compact undercounter form factor and 115V "plug-and-play" electrical configuration integrate easily into existing lab casework, making it significantly easier and faster to install than larger 3-phase or freestanding systems.
Built for the rigors of high-throughput daily use, the internal chamber, spray arms, and filters are constructed from crevice-free 1.4404 / 316L stainless steel. This ensures extreme durability, harsh chemical resistance, and a significantly reduced risk of contamination. Additionally, the maintenance-optimized layout and easily removable spray arms help minimize downtime and service effort compared to more complex washer designs.

What is the advantage of a 115V lab glassware washer?
The 115V configuration of the Miele PLW 8505 allows for a "plug-and-play" installation. Unlike larger industrial washers that require specialized 208V or 3-phase electrical hardwiring, this unit can be easily integrated into standard laboratory casework using standard electrical outlets, drastically reducing installation costs and facility downtime.
Why does the Miele PLW 8505 have a DI water connection?
A deionized (DI) or demineralized water connection allows the washer to perform its final rinse cycles with highly purified water. This prevents hard water spotting, removes trace mineral deposits, and ensures the absolute cleanliness required for sensitive analytical chemistry and microbiology applications.
Can I see inside the Miele PLW 8505 while it is running?
Yes. The PLW 8505 features a full-glass door. This enables operators to visually monitor the wash cycle, ensure spray arms are not obstructed by improperly loaded flasks, and verify that the cleaning process is performing correctly.
HiTechTrader offers the brand-new Miele PLW 8505 Lab Glassware Washer, providing pharmaceutical, biotech, academic, and industrial labs with a powerful, high-throughput solution for GLP-compliant glassware reprocessing.
Whether your laboratory is conducting pharmaceutical research, analytical testing, or routine sample preparation, the PLW 8505 supports efficient workflows and consistent cleaning performance.
