Miele Professional – The Milestones

  • 1924
    It all started with the first drum washing machines for commercial use, heated with gas or coal. Target groups are laundry facilities, hotels, hospitals and sanatoriums.

  • 1961
    Entry into the medical technology segment with special washing devices for surgical instruments and laboratory glassware, as well as the first dishwashers for cafes and restaurants. The products are manufactured in the Bielefeld plant.

  • 1962
    The first Miele plant outside of Germany is founded in Bürmoos near Salzburg. After initially primarily manufacturing compact washing machines, spin dryers and lightweight irons, today the plant provides approximately 1000 application-specific stainless steel baskets and inserts for automatic cleaning and disinfection devices. 1965  After acquiring the former Gillette plant in Lehrte near Hannover, devices for commercial laundry care are manufactured there. Ever since, Lehrte has been providing the complete spectrum of larger commercial washing machines, dryers and rotary irons.

  • 1971
    For hospitals, now there are “special automatic dishwashers” with special flexible punch-card control for anesthesia, HNO, gynecology and other medical specialties.

  • 1977
    The “Little Giants” for use in small commercial enterprises start a success story that continues today. The outstanding characteristics of these household washing machines and dryers are compact design and particularly robust professional technology.

  • 1979
    For the first time, the G 7717 automatic disinfection device enables separation with a clean side and a non-clean side.

  • 1986
    Miele acquires rotary iron manufacturer Oelde – where today primarily ranges are produced; production of rotary irons has been transferred to Lehrte.

  • 1989
    Miele launches a spin dryer on the market with a clean side and a non-clean side, which cleans disinfection laundry as stipulated in the strict directives of the “Laundry Facility” directive and is optimal for hospitals and care facilities.

  • 1991
    Together with textile chemicals specialist Kreussler, Miele develops the “WetCare” wet cleaning process. An eco-friendly alternative to chemical cleaning, with which even textiles that were previously marked “Do Not Wash” can be washed and dried with no problems.

  • 1994
    In the medical segment Miele develops “Vario TD” a new cleaning and disinfection program, which to this day is the market standard. It replaces the previous so-called “BGA Sechen” program as routine program. BGA = Bundesgesundheitsamt [German Federal Health Office] (today the Robert- Koch- Institute).

  • 1995
    The first generation of high-capacity disinfectors is equipped with the freely programmable “Profitronic” electronic control system, which up to 64 programs can be individually created.

  • 2004
    Miele launches the “Oxivario Plus” processing procedure on the market, which enables cleaning of medical instruments that the Robert-Koch-Institute classifies as critical. The procedure is later successfully tested with regard to effectiveness against prions (pathogens that cause Kreuzfeld-Jacob disease).

In the professional network, Miele continuously contributes innovations for Steelco products, for example, also the PowerPulse cleaning system (2019).

  • 2018
    The patented EasyLoad loading system revolutionises loading and unloading of laboratory glassware washers. This task has never before been easier, faster or more convenient.

The robot moves freely in the room and offloads AEMP (CSSD) personnel (Central Sterile Service) by automatically loading and unloading the cleaning and disinfection devices as well as sterilizers. The NCG (non- condensing-gases) sensor is a second innovation and an additional indicator for sustainable and effective sterilisation processes.
