EKATO EM Industrial Agitator

EKATO EM Industrial Agitators are industrial agitator units designed for a wide volume range and use with pressurized or unpressurized vessels.

The EM 2000 product line provides a flexible agitator platform for process vessel applications where the drive arrangement, shaft sealing approach, materials of construction, and impeller system must be evaluated around the operating requirements of the application.

The EM agitator can be directly driven by a motor or used with a gearbox. Motor connection through an IEC adapter or gear motor is also identified as a possible configuration. The shaft may be sealed with a mechanical seal or with other seal types, depending on the required vessel and process conditions.
