Digital Jar Test Apparatus / Flocculation Testers / Jar Tester / Digital Flocculator with RPM & Timer
Jar test apparatus mainly used in flocculation/ Coagulation/ Sedimentation experiments for testing water-soluble polymers. It is a Laboratory stirring instrument designed for the wastewater treatment industry. The jar test apparatus stimulates the operation after stirring, chemical dosing & mixing which can help in large-scale operations.
The digital Jar test apparatus is a very advanced instrument for Jar Test Calculation in Treatment plants. The jar Test Experiment determines the coagulation and flocculation with the help of the jar Test apparatus. Jar test Experiments depend on the objective of the experiments which is based on sedimentation, the performance of coagulants & PH results. The jar test procedure for water treatment helps in the jar test for an optimum dosage of alum. Jar Test Coagulation can be determined only when you test samples in the jar at a speed of 4 RPM to 16 RPM. High speed will not allow coagulation of the treated water when undergoing the Jar test.
Models We offer: FLOCC-1, FLOCC-2, FLOCC-3, FLOCC-4, FLOCC-5 & FLOCC-6.
What Is Jar Test/Flocculation?
The jar Test is primarily the catalytic chemical reaction used in the chemical treatment of sewage & Effluent treatment plants. Jar tester stimulates the flocculation process of wastewater treatment which helps the plant operator in the calculation of the total chemicals required for the treatment plant.
During the jar test we added chemicals to the sample of water and the Apparatus started stirring at a normal speed which formed the turbidity in the water. With the help of the Jar Test apparatus, we got to know the adjustments of the number of chemicals & the progression in which they should be added. The jar test apparatus helps in identifying the process for full-scale treatment plants. The operator of the plants can perform various types of lab tests to check the amount of treatment chemical agents at different pH values for different sizes of floc.
Jar Test Apparatus Principle
Digital Flocculator works on the principle of stirring from the top by spindles at low RPM speed. Low-speed stirring provides information on the coagulation & flocculation of untreated water in the jar. The speed regulator can fix the speed and the display will show accurate results of RPM. Jar Test calculation is based on coagulation and develops in a jar only after mixing Samples at low-speed RPM.
Application:
This is a research-based testing instrument used to carry out the flocculation process during wastewater treatment. This instrument is used in the field of water treatment research & water supply plants of industries, hotels, Colleges, universities, and societies, ETP (Effluent Treatment Plant), STP (Sewage Treatment Plant), Industrial Complexes & Water Research Industry.

Frequently Asked Questions: Digital Jar Test Apparatus
What is a jar test apparatus used for?
A jar test apparatus simulates the coagulation and flocculation process used in wastewater treatment, letting an operator test different chemical dosages and stirring speeds on a small sample before applying the same process at full plant scale. It's used across ETP, STP, industrial complexes, and water research facilities.
What RPM range should be used for an accurate jar test?
Jar test coagulation is typically run between 4 RPM and 16 RPM. High-speed stirring prevents proper coagulation of treated water, so the test depends on controlled, low-speed stirring rather than fast agitation — this unit supports a 2 to 250 RPM range so the operator can dial in the correct low-speed window for the test.
How many stirring positions are available?
Models are available in 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 stirring positions (FLOCC-1 through FLOCC-6), so a lab testing a single sample and a plant running parallel comparisons across multiple jars can both find a matching configuration.
What does flocculation mean in this context?
Flocculation is the process where chemically dosed particles in water clump together into larger, settleable floc. The jar test apparatus recreates this at a small, controlled scale so the operator can observe floc size and settling behavior before committing to a full-scale chemical dosing program.
Can this apparatus run automated or PLC-controlled test programs?
Yes — beyond the standard speed regulator and digital timer, a microcomputer-controlled PLC with a large touch screen is available for data recording and automatic program modification, useful for labs that want repeatable, logged test sequences rather than manual operation every time.
What's included in packing and shipping for international orders?
Standard export packing uses an international-standard wooden case on the outside, with the product first wrapped in transparent film and packed in hardwood board on the inside. Shipping is available by air or sea, with door delivery and port delivery options, and customers can provide their own FedEx or DHL account for smoother delivery.
What warranty and after-sales support is offered?
A one-year warranty is offered along with ten years of spare parts availability for supported models, backed by after-sales support.
Is this suitable for ETP and STP plant operators, not just labs?
Yes — alongside laboratory and research use, it's specifically applied in water supply plants for industries, hotels, colleges, universities, societies, Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP), and Sewage Treatment Plants (STP) to calculate optimum chemical dosing before scaling up.
