Phipps & Bird's new six-paddle programmable model elevates jar testing to a new level of precision by utilizing four operator-programmable memory banks that offer virtually unlimited stirring capabilities: Each bank may be programmed with paddle speeds from 5 to 300 rpm in 1-rpm increments. 1 second to 59 minutes and 59 seconds Programmable Audio Signals. The stirrer may be run sequentially through the memory banks, independently in any one of the memories, or continuously at a selected speed. Turning the stirrer off does not erase the programmed information. It permits automatic transitioning from a fast mix/short run to a slow mix/long run, or any combination of speeds and times desired to replicate actual plant conditions and operation. Constructed on a powder-coated steel uniframe chassis, the PB-900 features a fluorescent-lamp floc illuminator built into the base, and six stainless steel 1" x 3" paddles spaced six inches apart and which are adjustable to a maximum depth of nine inches. The unit comes complete with your choice of either: Six standard, round, glass, 1-liter laboratory beakers, or Six B-KER2 square, acrylic, 2-liter jar testing jars, along with a dust cover and a one-year manufacturer's warranty. All Phipps & Bird JarTesters are available in 120V, 60Hz and 220V, 50/60Hz. Get with the program! The PB-900TM Programmable JarTester from Phipps & Bird, the JarTest People!TM

Crown Press^TM Belt Press Simulator

Back to Top Request Information

Now you can accurately simulate a full-size belt press, duplicating the actual dewatering process, with Phipps & Bird's Crown Press Belt Press Simulator. The unique "crown" design allows the sludge cake to react as it would under normal operating conditions, including the effects of free water motion across both the top and bottom belt faces; shear; capillary channeling; sludge migration; response to pressure changes; and the effect on filtrate flow using different types of belt material. Without shutting down the big machines, the Crown Press Simulator permits the operator to: Prescreen to select the best polymers and belt types. Determine proper belt tension. Estimate optimum machine throughput. Estimate sludge cake moisture and filtrate clarity. Determine sludge migration. The Crown Press Simulator comes complete with plow simulator, carrying case and a comprehensive manual. Catalog #7800-100

Back to Top Request Information Catalog #7600-100

Turn virtually any refrigerator into a laboratory incubator with the IncuMate IITM™ Incubation Control Module from Phipps & Bird. You'll get the consistently reliable test results you require at a surprisingly affordable price. Specially designed for use by smaller water and wastewater treatment facilities, the Phipps & Bird IncuMate IITM lets you utilize a refrigerator to perform any incubation procedure requiring a temperature range of 5°C to 40°C including: biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), trihalomethane formation potential (TFP), heterotrophic plate count (HPC) and Coliform. Just place the IncuMate IITM unit on a wire shelf in a refrigerator, make the simple electrical plug-in connections and turn it on. Refrigerators with automatic defrost modes should have the defrost feature disconnected. The module's adjustable thermostat is factory set at 20°C. To raise the temperature, turn the dial to the left; to lower the temperature turn the dial to the right. The  IncuMate IITM'S built-in heater and circulating fan will operate continuously to provide thorough air circulation at the desired temperature. At start-up or after the temperature control has been reset, the temperature will stabilize in about an hour. Monitor the temperature with a quality-grade thermometer.

Column Filtration System (CFS)

Back to Top Request Information Click Here to  Download Brochure Requires Adobe Acrobat Reader

Simulate the process of a direct-filtration water treatment plant. The device is an accessory piece of equipment for the traditional Phipps & Bird JarTest Stirrer with Square B-KER2s (not included) After water samples are agitated through the flash and flocculation stages, the samples are allowed to gravity drain through filter columns producing a simulated "clean" water test sample.  A water line from the plant's service line can be connected to the device to backwash the filter columns when loading the granular media or when cleaning the media after a test procedure. The device consists of a number (4 or 6) of filter columns (2" ID clear PVC) and sets of valves to control the flow of water samples from the sample B-KER2s and service water during the backwash process. All components are mounted on a portable rack with casters. The CFS mounted on the portable rack can be used in the lab or moved to a more convenient location within the treatment plant.
