Laboratories that clean narrow-neck glassware in a Miele PG 8535 or PG 8536 laboratory washer-disinfector use the E 340. Laboratory technicians and glass-washing staff load flasks, pipettes, vials and beakers onto its nozzles as they return from the bench. Both machines take the unit as a mobile unit, so the same loading routine serves either one.
The split load suits a mixed workload. Nineteen glassware items stand on 19 injector nozzles in one half of the unit, while the other half stays open to other inserts. A laboratory that washes narrow-neck glassware alongside other items can therefore send both through the washer together. Staff decide how much of the load goes on nozzles and how much on other inserts, and the unit takes both in one run.
Six nozzle lengths and two diameters serve different necks. Three nozzles, each of Ø 4 mm at 140, 160 and 180 mm and of Ø 6 mm at 200 and 220 m,m are fitted, and four more of Ø 6 mm at 240 mm bring the total to 19. A rinse nozzle for the powder dispenser sits with them, and together they make up the set. The lengths run from 140 mm to 240 mm, so shorter and longer items can share the nozzle half.
The unit is made of stainless steel and plastic, in stainless steel and black, and it weighs 4.8 kg net, or 5.6 kg gross. At 517 × 535 × 502 mm, it calls for a loading area beside the washer that takes up that footprint. Material number 03809410 and EAN 4002511116177 identify the unit for reorder, and the older article number is 69534001D.
