EKATO ES Side-Entry Agitator

The EKATO ES Side-Entry Agitator is a standard side-entry agitator designed for lateral installation on process vessels. This agitator configuration is intended for applications where a side-mounted mixing arrangement is required rather than a top-entry installation.

The ES design uses a mechanically sealed shaft and is available with the EKATO Propeller impeller system, making it a defined side-entry agitator option within EKATO’s broader agitator product line.
