Product Description
The Platypus Jar Tester (Flocculator) is a high-performance laboratory instrument designed to evaluate the physical and chemical treatment of surface and groundwater. It’s the go-to tool for engineers, designers, and operators working on water treatment processes—ideal for assessing coagulants, polymers, alkalinity adjustments, metal oxidation, sedimentation rates, and pre-treatment for flotation tests. It also supports detailed studies of reaction kinetics, mixing efficiency, and flocculation energy.
This jar tester stands out with independent mixing stations, each offering programmable speed and timing for the three flocculation stages. This allows for precise control and repeatable testing across different treatment scenarios.
Built to world-class standards, the Platypus Jar Tester features advanced LED backlighting, durable materials, excellent safety design, and full compliance with relevant European, US, and Australian standards. It combines reliability with functionality and is presented in a sleek, lab-ready format.
