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.
Key Benefits and Optimization Areas
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.

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.
