| 1 Versatile process equipment for products with widely varying physical properties
2 Highly effective paddle agitator for minimum blend times and high degrees of homogeneity
3 Close clearances between agitator and vessel wall prevent product building up and reducing heat transfer
4 Standardized agitator drives ensure reliable operation and low maintenance costs
5 Appropriate shaft seal systems for every application. Installing the shaft seal away from the product enables the tried-and-tested EKATO standard agitator seals to be used
6 Large heat transfer surfaces provided by vessel geometry, as option also by agitator, making high evaporation rates possible
7 Various processes (blending, drying, reactions) can be carried out in one equipment item
8 Product fines are separated from the offgas in the vacuum dust filter. EKATO offers bag filters with coated surfaces or metallic filter cartridges. The fines drop back into the vessel when the filter cake is loosened
9 Chopper tools prevent lumps forming
10 EKATO offers package drying systems complete with heater, solvent recovery unit and control system, all from a single source
Vacuum contact dryer with heated walls (contact surfaces) supplying heat of evaporation to product
Intensive heat transfer through product circulation with agitator design adapted to suit the process duty (Becker paddles, plow blades, countercurrent helical ribbon)
Continuous renewal of the surface layer through the sweeping action of the agitator
Reduced boiling points under vacuum speed the drying process
Variety of applications including mixing duties (HSM)
Batch and continuous operating modes possible
