Milton Roy to provide agitators for new Nalco alumina refinery

Milton Roy, an Ingersoll Rand brand, has been selected by National Aluminum Company (Nalco) to provide all their most critical agitators for the company's new alumina refinery expansion project, which is being constructed in Odisha. This project of Nalco, a Public Sector Company, has a national importance to increase India’s Alumina production.

The multi-million USD agreement goes for 24 agitators, which will be delivered in the coming months. Most of agitators will sit atop an approximately 35 m (115-feet) tall, 14 m (46-feet) diameter tank. A series of five to six impeller blades, each each between 7-8 m (about 25 feet) in diameter, are placed along a rotating shaft extending from the agitator motor to the bottom of the tank. As the agitator's shaft rotates, its impellor blades ensure thorough and homogenous mixing of the tank's contents.

"Milton Roy is pleased to have the opportunity to work with NALCO again and be the main agitator provider for their new facility," said Carlos Uribe, General Manager, Milton Roy.


The Milton Roy Mixing agitators will be used to produce alumina (or aluminum oxide), which is extracted from bauxite through chemical attack using caustic soda. Alumina is found in the chemical composition of many products. It can also be electrolyzed to produce aluminum bars for use in construction activities. Milton Roy Mixing has been partnering with Nalco for 25+ years on their Alumina production plants providing dozens of similar agitators to full Nalco satisfaction. Parts of this large new order will be manufactured in India under Milton Roy India -Chennai factory supervision.

With this new very large order for the Alumina Industry, Milton Roy Mixing confirms its leading position as a worldwide process equipment supplier.

Since 1936, Milton Roy has evolved into the global leader in fluid control and odourisation technologies, offering the broadest range of metering pumps and accessories that provide cost-effective, reliable pumping solutions for chemical dosing, as well as gas and liquid high pressure boosters and mechanical mixing equipment to meet a wide range of industry needs. With 2022 revenues of $5.6 billion, Ingersoll Rand employs approximately 17,000 people worldwide and is headquartered in Davidson, North Carolina.
