Miele Professional : What floorutions for washing and drying laboratory glassware?

A global benchmark in German engineering, Miele Professional brings its exacting standards to the laboratory. Its speciality: cleaning and drying laboratory glassware with dedicated washers, inserts and injector baskets engineered for complex geometries. Standardised, configurable programmes, precise detergent dosing, rinsing with purified water, traceability and filtered-air drying: everything is built for reproducible results. Pharma, biotech, agri-food and environmental labs, quality control and research: Miele safeguards your pre-analytical steps and reduces the risk of rework.

A century of expertise, performance-driven

Founded in 1899 in Gütersloh (Germany) by Carl Miele and Reinhard Zinkann, Miele has grown around a simple principle that became its motto: Immer besser – always better. From the original workshop to an international brand, the company has built its reputation on quality, reliability and the longevity of its equipment. Beyond domestic applications, the Miele Professional division serves demanding environments – healthcare, hospitality and laboratories – with solutions engineered for intensive use, selected components and long-term availability of spare parts. Backed by ongoing R&D investment, European manufacturing sites and a service-led culture, the brand supports the modernisation of laboratories with equipment that combines performance, ergonomics and controlled resource use.

Expertise and areas of specialisation

In the laboratory, Miele is recognised for its glassware washers dedicated to narrow-neck bottles, pipettes, round-bottom flasks, beakers and micro-components. Injection systems deliver targeted impingement inside each item, while configurable inserts secure the load and optimise flow dynamics. The programmes are user-configurable (temperatures, holds, durations, number of rinses) to suit your soils and matrices – organic and inorganic residues, surfactants, culture media. Automatic dosing of detergents and neutralisers ensures repeatability, while conductivity and temperature monitoring safeguards critical steps. At the end of the cycle, a purified-water rinse minimises deposits, then filtered-air drying drives out moisture deep into complex geometries.

Traceability comes as standard: cycle logging, USB/Ethernet export, and compatibility with QMS integration for smoother audits. The chamber and pipework in stainless steel withstand common laboratory chemicals, and the design favours accessibility for preventive maintenance. On the chemistry side, the Miele ProCare Lab range of detergents and additives covers alkaline, neutral and acidic scenarios, with formulations designed to protect glass, stainless steel and markings. Together, this delivers reproducible results, fewer re-washes and more efficient use of resources (water, energy, consumables).

Chosen by teams in pharma/biotech, food QC, environment and academia, the Miele solution combines robustness, ergonomics and service. With Dutscher, you benefit from support from sizing through to installation, from selecting injector baskets to cycle optimisation – for a clean, documented and sustainable process.
