1. C-Face Flange Connection
All agitator connections are self-aligning -- NO ALIGNMENT NECESSARY
2. Flexible Coupling
Absorbs shocks and loads between gearbox and motor to reduce wear of motor and gear components.
3. State-of-the-Art Gearbox
EKATO is not a gearbox manufacturer. We select the optimal gearbox from the best gearbox companies to ensure long, virtually maintenance free life. If required, parts and service are available direct from the gearbox OEM.
4. Thrust Bearing
Designed to isolate external thrust loads for high pressure applications and allows use of a standard gearbox.
5. Flange Coupling
Allows easy access to seal and in-tank parts. No disassembly of gearbox required. Precise connection between gearbox output shaft and bearing shaft.
6. Lift and Swivel System
Quick seal replacement reduces costly downtime. Easy enough for one person to change seal, even on the largest units. No disconnection of motor, or removal of gearbox.
7. Integral Seal Fluid System
Conveniently mounted on agitator. No extraneous piping and instrumentation to remote reserviors. Compact design with very small seal fluid volume due to low seal leakage. Thermosyphon seal circulation eliminates need for auxiliary pumps.
8. Cast Bearing Housing
Permits large bearing span, reducing shaft deflections.
9. Cartridge Mechanical Seal
Designed by EKATO specifically for large shaft, low revolution, high pressure service. Slips onto shaft for easy servicing. Optional radial bearing minimizes wear effects of shaft deflection on seal faces. Seal faces rest in floating seat to prevent shaft deflection from affecting the seals. Pressure compensator is included for high pressure services.
10. Mounting Flange
Independantly supports drive assembly, providing single point contact for easy assembly and removal. Eliminates vibration problems. Avoids potential thermal expansion problems. Shaft suspension device prevents shaft and impeller from dropping to bottom of tank during seal maintenance.
