JarMaster Portable Jar Tester | Bluetooth & Mobile Integration
High-Torque Field Analysis: Standardised Jar Testing with Bluetooth Control
The JarMaster is a high-precision, Bluetooth-enabled portable stirrer designed for water treatment laboratories that require absolute control over multi-stage jar testing. Engineered to eliminate operator variability, it offers 0–350 RPM (overridable) precision in 1-RPM increments via optional touchscreen controller, with menu-driven programming, saved routines, and individual timers, audible alarms. Available in 4, 6, or 8-station configurations, the “as delivered” JarMaster features a built-in (overridable) 5-step program, and seamless mobile integration using the optional vehicle power pack to ensure consistent, repeatable results across every coagulation and flocculation test.
The problem and the Boltac solution
| The Operational Problem | The Boltac JarMaster Solution |
|---|---|
| Mechanical Drift & Drive Slip | Synchronised Precision Standard solid-coupled drive systems allow for inconsistent paddle speeds. Our proprietary Non-Slip Drive ensures every station moves at the exact same RPM (0–350 range) for flawless chemical dosing data. |
| Shift-to-Shift Inconsistency | Set-and-Forget Programming The entire sequence from rapid mix to slow mix and settlement with 5-step internal digital programming only requires operator input for duration and interval during the test. This standardizes testing according to plant flow rates, regardless of which technician is on shift. |
| High-Volume Laboratory Wear | Industrial-Grade Durability Built for daily use in municipal and industrial environments with rugged professional polycarbonate construction and optional 316 Stainless-Steel shafts that withstand harsh laboratory conditions (standard paddle shafts are acid-resistant engineering plastic). |

FAQ
Q: How do you ensure repeatable jar testing results in municipal laboratories?
A: Repeatable results are achieved through using the 5-step internal digital programming and a Zero-Slip Close-Coupled Drive system. The Boltac JarMaster (JM4/6/8) utilizes these features to ensure identical RPM across all 4, 6, or 8 stirring stations simultaneously. This eliminates the human error associated with manual speed adjustments and friction-based drives that “drift.” By locking the velocity gradient (G-Value) across all test beakers, municipal operators can ensure that laboratory results accurately translate to full-scale plant performance. A G-Value comparison label is attached to the stirrer and a G-Value to RPM graph is included in the printed manual supplied with the machine.
