Floc Tester ET850

The Lovibond® Floc Tester ET850 provides a controlled and flexible solution for evaluating coagulation and flocculation in water and wastewater treatment. With six stirring positions, it allows multiple samples to be compared simultaneously, making it particularly well suited to flocculant selection, dose optimisation and comparative treatment studies.

By simulating treatment conditions on a smaller scale, the ET850 allows operators to assess different flocculants, dosages and treatment conditions before making changes to the full-scale process. Testing can be carried out in accordance with ASTM D2035-19, supporting a consistent and reproducible approach to coagulation-flocculation studies.

Controlled and Reproducible Testing

The ET850 allows two stirring speeds to be programmed to reproduce different stages of the treatment process. Speed changes can be controlled automatically by time or carried out manually, providing flexibility for different testing procedures.


Digital speed adjustment from 20 to 250 rpm and a programmable timer from 1 to 240 minutes, with continuous operation also available, give operators precise control over test conditions.


With six stirring positions, multiple samples or treatment conditions can be evaluated during the same test. Continuously adjustable stirrer height accommodates beakers from 500 mL to 1,500 mL, providing flexibility for different laboratory procedures.

Enhanced Sample Visibility

Flexible rear and floor lighting provides clear illumination of samples throughout the test, making it easier to observe floc formation, settling behaviour and differences between treatment conditions.


A large illuminated display provides clear visibility of operating settings, while intuitive, language-independent controls make the ET850 straightforward to operate during routine laboratory testing.


Combined with its six-position configuration and corrosion-resistant stainless steel stirrers, the ET850 is particularly suited to laboratories carrying out regular comparative coagulation and flocculation studies.
