About us
In the last 90 years, EKATO has developed to the world market leader in mixing technology and offers optimized mixing technologies for all process-oriented industries
In hydrometallurgy, the main agitator types are autoclave, atmospheric tank and leach tank agitators. EKATO is global market leader in autoclave agitators. The company draw on its vast experience to deliver customized solutions. The company offers a wide range of services, including lab testing, CFD and FEA studies, the design and manufacture of agitators, and on-site service. EKATO regularly sets new standards for gassed atmospheric tanks.
EKATO systems provide the following advantages over other technologies already on the market: Superior mass transfer and higher circulation rates for solid suspension mean higher yields and better results from hydrometallurgical processes, higher gas yields help generate significant cost-savings as well as lower operating costs thanks to stable operation even at very high aeration rates.

Autoclave agitators
EKATO is the world leader for autoclave agitation technology. EKATO offers customized solutions and has valuable experience in autoclave applications worldwide. The EKATO autoclaves offer a robust mechanical design and high quality manufacturing (titanium clean room for welding). We offer a complete range of mechanical sealing solutions and seal support systems for autoclave trains. Autoclave technology is used when extraction by classical atmospheric leaching methods is not economical
EKATO COMBIJET
The special blade shape of the COMBIJET creates strong radial and axial flows that lead to good gas dispersion and intensive bulk mixing of the fluid. At the same time the formation of gas pockets behind the blades is prevented thus ensuring a stable performance across a wide range of operating conditions. The objective of that impeller is to provide an optimal combination of performance characteristics for gas-liquid applications.
EKATO EPAL-R Impeller
The EKATO EPAL-R impeller was developed to provide optimum suspending and blending characteristics in horizontal vessels, ultimately avoiding dead zones in the vessel compartments. Its unique wear-optimized blade geometry, optionally equipped with wear-protective coatings, substantially reduces the abrasion on the blades. This makes it ideal for processing concentrated suspensions. The main benefits of the EPAL-R are highly reduced operational costs significantly extended maintenance intervals.
