ENDSFOIL

Close-to-Bottom Impeller, for suspension applications

The EKATO ENDSFOIL is specifically designed for suspension applications, such as crystallization, where solid deposits must be prevented. In addition the impeller system is flexible for a wide range of solid particle sizes and robust enough to suspend even large falling agglomerates without damage.

The EKATO ENDSFOIL impeller has a bottom shape adapted design which allows to operate very close to the vessel bottom and is ideal for suspension applications with the risk of solid deposits. The impeller is usually used as a bottom impeller in combination with an axial flow impeller but can also be used as a single stage up to specific filling heights depending on the vessel diameter. Due to the robust design and the installation close to the bottom, a good off bottom suspension even of larger agglomerates can be ensured without risk of damaging the blades. This leads to less maintenance work in total.

What does “Number of sealing faces” mean?

Single-acting mechanical seals
These seals have one sealing surface and only seal in one direction. They are generally simpler in design and are commonly used in applications where pressure is applied from only one side.

Double-acting mechanical seals
These seals have two sealing surfaces and can seal in both directions. They are ideal for applications where pressure may come from both sides or where a higher sealing performance is required.

Triple-acting mechanical seals
These are less common and used in specialized applications that require a more complex sealing setup. They offer additional sealing surfaces or mechanisms to ensure reliable sealing even in highly demanding environments.
