Pricing Note: Most manufacturers require RFQ — no public pricing published. Side-entry mixers are almost never sold at list price. Verified case studies show $350,000+ savings in tank cleaning avoidance for oil & gas operators.
Milton Roy SRMix specifically designed for BS&W applications in storage tanks. Your primary market. [5][6]
Lower CAPEX than competitors. $350,000+ saved per tank in avoided cleanouts.
Ingersoll Rand has established relationships across Oil & Gas, Chemical, Power. Global 24/7 service network.
Global service infrastructure for maintenance and support. Critical for oil & gas operators.
Well-known for mission-critical industrial equipment. Trust in safety-critical environments.
Acquisition strategy shows ambition. SPX Flow rejected $3.59B bid (2021). [1]
3-5x more energy than top-entry mixers. Confirmed by peer-reviewed study. [4]
Tank must be drained for seal/bearing work. Some competitors (Dynamix) offer shut-off devices.
Fluid pushed along walls, not top-to-bottom. Less consistent than top-entry for some applications.
Mechanical seals more critical and expensive to replace.
Position Milton Roy as your side-entry mixer brand. It's the Ingersoll Rand-owned subsidiary with real products for oil & gas. [5]
$350,000+ per tank in avoided cleanouts. Side-entry mixers keep sediment suspended. This is your primary value prop.
Competitors claim energy savings. Counter with total cost of ownership: lower CAPEX + avoided cleanout costs.
They're owned by ITT now (2026). They rejected your $3.59B bid. Don't trash them — position against their pricing and lead times. [1][2]
Global 24/7 support is a differentiator for oil & gas operators who can't afford downtime.
