Miele’s solution facilitates cost-effective reprocessing in an on-site laundry facility. You can process up to 5 complete protective suits in only 2.5 hours – this includes cleaning, decontamination, waterproofing and drying. In the process, particular care and attention is paid to the reprocessing of multi-layer garments and the delicate retro-reflective strips by Miele’s patented honeycomb drum. You are not dependent on laundry opening hours. Special programmes tailored to the protective clothing and equipment guarantee a long service life. Universal applications The Miele laundry machines relevant to this application come with programme packages covering personal protective clothing, breathing masks and chemical protection suits. Further special cleaning and maintenance programmes, for example for woollen blankets, leisure wear or uniforms, complete the range of possible uses for machines in an on-site laundry. Machine operation is simplified by a clear text display.
Workflow in accordance with DIN 14092-7
In order to protect against cross-contamination within a fire or ambulance station and in the interests of protecting staff, Miele recommends a segregation of dirty and clean operations in the laundry. Miele’s washing machines for installation in a diaphragm wall are ideal for this purpose.
Systematic solution for masks
In close cooperation with mask and detergent manufacturers, Miele has developed specialised washing and disinfection processes for a wide range of masks. The masks do not need to be dismantled for cleaning. To protect the visor, masks are placed in protective bags. During the wash process, the drum only rotates at 20 rpm. Disinfection in the washing machine takes place at 60°C with a temperature holding time of 20 minutes. Depending on the size of the tumble dryer, Miele's patented mask braces can take up to 16 masks per cycle, allowing them to be dried in only 45 minutes – dispensing with the extremely long cycles associated with drying cabinets.
