The E 385 serves research, analytical and teaching laboratories that reprocess narrow-necked glassware in a Miele PG 8535 or PG 8536. Laboratory technicians and washroom staff load it, and Miele markets it for laboratory glassware reprocessing. They fill it at the bench with the day's glassware, then move the whole mobile unit to the machine.
Loading follows the neck of each vessel. Each vessel goes onto the nozzle size that suits its neck: the seven E 351 nozzles are 4 mm across and 160 mm long, and the nine E 352 nozzles are 6 mm across and 220 mm long. Each nozzle sits locked in its matching clip. Once the ML/2 sits in its bracket, the machine accepts the loaded unit, recognises the mobile unit, and handles spray arm control.
The unit focuses on narrow-necked glassware, and its two nozzle sizes let a mixed batch share one load. A laboratory that reprocesses smaller and larger narrow-necked vessels can fill all 16 positions in a single run. With hot-air drying connected, drying follows while the glassware stays on its nozzles.
Upkeep centres on the nozzles and clips, which are separate Miele parts. The E 351 and E 352 nozzles and the E 353 and E 354 clips each have their own numbers so that you can restore any position with the matching part. The unit also includes a rinse nozzle for the powder dispenser. The E 385 is stainless steel and plastic, weighs 5.70 kg,, work without power, and is identified for reorders by material number 03809930.
