Durability

In addition to the many new features, the

PG 8527 includes one characteristic that

all Miele Labwashers are well known for:

durability. This machine is tested to run

15,000 cycles, which equals a life

expectancy of nearly 10 years (based on

heavy usage of 6 wash cycles per day and

260 working days per year).

The new HEPA filter has an extended

durability of 1,000 hours, requiring less

changing than the previous version. And

since the new conductivity meter is

absolutely maintenance free, it eliminates

service and calibration concerns common

with most conductivity meters.

Electric and Steam Heating Options

To customize installation for your facility,

the PG 8527 can be heated by either

electric only or a combination of steam

and electric. This greatly reduces

electrical demand, resulting in an energy

cost savings.

Advanced Filter System

The PG 8527 features a triple filtration

system in the bottom of the wash

chamber, ensuring only clean, particle-free

water is circulated.

Additional filters protecting the incoming

water lines stop external particles from

entering the water path.

The multiple sump filters help prevent

debris from the wash load from

recirculating, while filters upstream of

the circulation pumps protect and

extend pump life.

Optional Steam Condenser

The steam condenser eliminates the need

for external machine venting while

eliminating potentially hazardous steam

from venting into the lab during operation.

Using cold water,

this system deftly

condenses water

vapors and flushes

them down the

drain. This ensures

minimal radiant heat

and a more pleasant

work environment.

Installation is also greatly simplified.

High-Volume Pumps

At near twice the circulation power of

some manufacturers, the PG 8527

features a low pressure, 264 gallon/

minute combined circulation rate. This

provides a high turnover rate

of water, while remaining

gentle enough not to

damage or break

delicate glassware.

For ensured cleaning per-

formance, the PG 8527 also fea-

tures separate circulation pumps for the

upper and lower spray arms and the injec-

tors.

The pumps feature speed sensors and a

gentle start for maximum pump longevity.

The PG 8527 features separate pumps

for its circulation and drainage, greatly

simplifying installation and reducing any

cross-contamination concerns.

Adjustable High Wash Temperatures

Hotter water provides better cleaning and

rinsing. The PG 8527 can heat wash

water and DI water up to 93° C, providing

thorough cleaning results in a short

amount of time. Separate wash and DI

rinse temperatures are user-configurable.

The PG 8527 has

dual sensors to

ensure consistent

wash temperatures

and high cleaning

levels, allowing a

greater degree of

cleaning accuracy.

Flow Meters & Heated DI Rinse Cycles

Complete elimination of residue is best

accomplished by one or more heated DI

rinse cycles. The PG 8527 features a DI

water connection and the ability to heat the

DI water up to 93° C.

Optional in the PG 8527 is a 35L tank for

pre-heating DI water prior to the final

rinse, ensuring high throughput and

proper temperatures.

Miele combines this

with flow meters on

all incoming water

lines. This feature

allows extremely

precise filling, and

varying of fill volume

by program step.

The ability to vary fill volumes helps to save

water by allowing the use of less water in

certain wash or rinse steps.
