Platypus Jar Tester

Operations and designer tools to assess the physical
and chemical treatment of surface and ground waters.

World Class Product

  • modern technology, functionality and presentation
  • relevant European, US and AS/NZ EMC test certification
  • advanced LED backlighting

Test Scope:

  • coagulants, polymers, alkalinity treatment
  • oxidation
  • settlement rates
  • pre-treatment for flotation tests
  • reaction kinetics
  • mixing and flocculation power evaluation
  • metal residuals

Independent Mixing Stations

  • programmable speed and time settings for each of three flocculation stages - at each station


Digitally controlled, easy to operate

  • LED speed, time, alarm and status displays
  • three programmable flocculation stages
  • independently programmable duration and speed for each flocculation stage
  • Speed is controlled to set point - notwithstanding commonly experienced water temperature variations/viscosity and paddle type and size
  • tactile membrane decals

Square Jars

  • durable, clear Tritan® materials - superior serviceability and clarity
  • injection moulded; easy to clean fillets at the Jar floor, walls and corners
  • anti-slip top lip for safe handling in wet environments
  • square jar geometry for plant emulation
  • 1L or 2L Jars with or without supernatant sample taps

      2L Jar2
      2L Jar2 with sample tap

Velocity Gradient Tables:

  • Velocity gradient translation Tables provide bench test correlation of Jar mixing energy under variable water temperature, paddle type and size to determine optimum plant velocity gradient requirements
  • Better bench test emulation of plant flocculation conditions - facilitates accurate determination of optimum plant flocculation power

Safe Operation In Wet Environments:

  • low voltage internal power
  • splash proof membrane decals

Quiet

  • low noise power transmission belts
