EKATO ESM Magnetic Safety Agitators are designed for mixing hazardous material where separation between the product and the surrounding environment is a key equipment consideration.
The ESM design uses a hermetic seal between the product and environment, which EKATO identifies as a product-leakage prevention feature even in agitator breakdown conditions.
For Process Controls Corporation customers evaluating magnetic safety agitators, the ESM provides a specialized EKATO agitator option for process applications that require defined pressure capability, product-wetted material selections, and approval considerations as part of equipment specification.
EKATO lists the ESM with motor power from 5 to 200 kW, shaft diameters from 40 to 100 mm, and an operating pressure range from vacuum to 100 bar. The product data also identifies EKATO high-efficiency impellers and conventional impellers, product-wetted material options including rust- and acid-resistant steels, nickel-base alloy, Duplex and Super Duplex steels, titanium and titanium alloys, and approvals for ATEX 2014/34/EU and GOST TR-ZU 010/2011.
Standard design elements include drive versions with fixed or variable shaft speeds, flat and helical gearbox types, optimized magnetic couplings, double bearing of the shaft inside the lantern, a canned magnetic rotor, a pressure compensator with bypass function, and an additional seal.
EKATO also notes that parameters such as shaft speed, temperature, and pressure can be monitored, with a cooling flange available for high operating pressures.

Ideal Applications
- Mixing applications involving hazardous material
- Process environments where product-to-environment separation is a key agitator selection factor
- Applications requiring a magnetic safety agitator rather than a mechanically sealed agitator configuration
- Installations requiring agitator selection based on defined motor power, shaft diameter, pressure range, material, and approval requirements
- Processes where monitoring of shaft speed, temperature, or pressure may be part of the agitator configuration
- High operating pressure applications where a cooling flange may be evaluated as part of the equipment design
