Process Controls Corporation - EKATO

The EKATO ES-SW Swivel Side-Entry Agitator is a side-entry agitator designed for oil-storage tanks and storage tanks of varying sizes. Built around the EKATO ES-2000-SW configuration, this agitator supports lateral tank installation where a swivel-style agitator arrangement is required rather than a fixed side-entry design.

The ES-SW is equipped with a mechanical seal and is available with manual swiveling or optional automatic adjustment control through a distributed control system.

Process Controls Corporation - EKATO Swivel Side-Entry Agitator ES-SW

For process and plant teams evaluating storage tank agitation equipment, the ES-SW provides a product-specific option within EKATO’s side-entry agitator range. The ES-SW features a defined motor power range, shaft diameter range, atmospheric-to-liquid-column operating pressure, EKATO Propeller impeller system, and product-wetted material options. The model also includes a mounting flange and a shut-off device intended for mechanical seal maintenance while the tank remains filled.

As a distributor-supplied agitator option, Process Controls Corporation can support customers reviewing EKATO side-entry agitators for oil-storage tank applications, replacement evaluations, or new equipment specifications where swivel positioning, seal configuration, and published dimensional or operating data must be considered during selection.
