Efficiency Screening is a comprehensive on-site or remote assessment conducted by EKATO specialists. It focuses on evaluating the performance of your agitated reactors and identifying opportunities for: 

  • Energy Savings 
  • Process Optimization 
  • Equipment Modernization

This service is tailored to your plant’s unique setup, ensuring that recommendations are practical, impactful, and aligned with your production goals. 

Energy Efficiency

Agitation systems are often overlooked when it comes to energy efficiency. EKATO’s screening can reveal: 

  • Oversized or underperforming agitators 
  • Inefficient mixing patterns 
  • Opportunities for motor downsizing or speed adjustment

Result: Lower energy bills and reduced carbon footprint—without compromising process quality. 

Process Optimization 

Efficiency Screening dives deep into your process parameters to identify improvements in: 

  • Batch Time Reduction: Faster mixing and reaction times. 
  • Heating/Cooling Efficiency: Improved heat transfer through optimized flow patterns. 
  • Mixing Quality: Enhanced homogeneity, suspension, dispersion or emulsification. 

Result: Increased throughput, improved product consistency, and reduced operational costs. 

Mechanical Improvements and Maintenance 

EKATO’s Efficiency Screening also evaluates the mechanical integrity of your mixing equipment. This includes assessing wear and tear, checking for signs of fatigue, and reviewing maintenance practices. Based on the findings, EKATO may recommend upgrades such as  

  • improved bearings and enhanced sealing systems 
  • optimized maintenance schedules 
  • installation of preventive maintenance  

These measures help extend the life of your equipment, reduce unexpected downtime, and ensure reliable long-term performance. 

Customization & Modernization 

EKATO’s experts assess whether your current equipment is still fit for purpose. If not, they’ll recommend: 

  • Retrofitting existing agitators 
  • Upgrading to modern mixing technologies 
  • Custom-designed solutions for new or evolving processes 

Result: Future-proofed operations with equipment that matches your process needs.
