EKATO KOAX Coaxial Agitator

EKATO KOAX coaxial agitators are industrial mixing units designed for complex process requirements where a single-shaft agitator may not provide the required configuration.

The KOAX design uses two universal impeller systems, each with its own drive system, allowing different impeller combinations to be used within one coaxial agitator arrangement. This makes the KOAX family relevant for demanding mixing tasks involving products with extreme viscosities and varied flow behavior.

For process operations that require multiple mixing functions during different stages, KOAX coaxial agitators can be configured for tasks such as homogenizing, suspending, dispersing, heat transfer, and decomposition of solids.

The standard design supports operation with different shaft speeds and directions of rotation, helping accommodate process-specific agitation requirements without treating the unit as a conventional single-shaft agitator.

Available configurations may include EKATO high-efficiency impellers or conventional impellers, with examples such as PARAVISC used in combination with VISCOPROP or Dissolver systems.

KOAX agitators may also include sealing systems for the central and peripheral shaft, along with optional features such as flexible or rigid scrapers, bottom anchors, or Z-anchors when supported by the application requirements.

Process Controls Corporation can assist with information on EKATO KOAX coaxial agitators for industrial mixing applications where high-viscosity product behavior, multiple impeller systems, or complex process steps need to be evaluated.
