Sprintex secures 37 Indian channel partners and AU$290,000 demonstration order
Sprintex Limited (ASX: SIX) has announced the Sprintex India Channel Network Expansion, establishing 37 channel partners across India alongside exclusive distributor Euroteck Environmental Private Limited. The programme includes a purchase order valued at US$205,950 (AU$289,785) for 150 G15 Jet Blower units intended as demonstration inventory. A deposit of US$62,000 (AU$87,238) is due 27 February 2026, with shipment expected in March 2026.
The announcement clarifies that the demonstration units are priced below standard commercial rates and are not indicative of recurring revenue levels. The units will be deployed across Euroteck’s channel partner network for site evaluations, performance benchmarking and technical demonstrations. The strategy aims to accelerate customer adoption and shorten validation cycles in a conservative infrastructure market where 24/7 aeration systems operate continuously.

What is the Sprintex G15 Jet Blower?
The Sprintex G15 is an ultra-high-speed, oil-free centrifugal blower designed to replace legacy Roots (rotary lobe) and side-channel technologies across wastewater, aquaculture, industrial aeration and decentralised treatment applications. The platform operates at up to ~80,000 rpm with an integrated permanent-magnet motor and intelligent control system.
In aeration systems that run continuously, absorbed power determines operating cost, not nameplate motor size. The G15 addresses this by scaling airflow, pressure and absorbed power together, with efficiency achieved through motor speed and aerodynamic design rather than throttling or bypass mechanisms.
Legacy blower technologies, developed before modern high-speed motors and digital power electronics, remain constrained by three key factors:
- Large rotating mass limits dynamic response and operational flexibility
- Inefficient air displacement increases energy consumption at fixed duty points
- Aerodynamic losses at part load prevent efficient turndown without mechanical intervention
The G15’s architecture allows the same airflow and pressure output as legacy systems but at materially lower absorbed power. Energy cost reduction translates directly to operating margin improvement in continuous-duty applications where systems operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
India market opportunity and commercial strategy
India represents a continent-scale opportunity due to its geographic expanse, industrial diversity and population size. The country’s installed base of low-pressure industrial blowers remains heavily weighted toward legacy Roots and side-channel technologies, presenting a significant long-term replacement and upgrade opportunity for high-efficiency centrifugal platforms.
CEO Jay Upton
“India is not a single market, it is effectively a continent-sized opportunity with diverse industrial, municipal and decentralised infrastructure needs.”
The 150 demonstration units will be deployed across 37 channel partners for site evaluations and technical demonstrations. These units are intended to accelerate customer adoption by shortening validation cycles and de-risking adoption decisions. Once channel partner activity transitions from demonstration to commercial deployment, regional unit volumes may increase materially over time, subject to successful demonstration outcomes and customer adoption.
Target applications include wastewater treatment, aquaculture, industrial aeration and decentralised treatment systems. The demonstration-first approach addresses the reality that infrastructure markets in India operate conservatively and require proven performance data before committing to technology transitions.
Commercial volumes are expected to increase materially once channel partners transition from demonstration to commercial deployment, with pricing reverting to standard commercial rates materially higher than demonstration inventory levels.
Local assembly and “Product of India” pathway
Subject to sustained order momentum and annualised volumes exceeding 1,000 units, Sprintex will evaluate the commercial viability of local assembly to achieve “Product of India” classification. This designation would enhance competitiveness across government, municipal and industrial procurement tender programmes while reducing delivery lead times and import duties.
The threshold represents a commercial inflection point at which local assembly becomes economically viable and strategically advantageous. The classification would position Sprintex’s G15 platform more favourably in tender-driven procurement environments where local content requirements influence supplier selection.
Proven performance underpins adoption strategy
Sprintex’s operational performance is based on independently measured, in-field operating data rather than laboratory or theoretical claims. Two case studies demonstrate the platform’s real-world energy reduction capabilities:
ASAŞ Aluminium (Türkiye): Independent energy monitoring showed a 60–65% reduction in aeration energy consumption following replacement of multiple legacy blowers with Sprintex G15 units, delivering an ~12-month return on investment.
SEA LIFE Sunshine Coast (Australia): A legacy side-channel blower drawing approximately 9.7 kW was replaced with a Sprintex G15 absorbing approximately 2.7 kW at the same duty point, while delivering improved airflow control under variable demand.
| Parameter | Old Blower | New G15 | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Power Consumption | 9.7 kW | 2.7 kW | -72% |
| Annual Energy Used | 84,972 kWh | 23,652 kWh | -61,320 kWh |
| Annual Cost to Run | $11,489 AUD | $3,199 AUD | -$8,290 AUD |
| Annual Savings | — | $8,290 AUD | — |
These installations demonstrate that efficiency gains are achieved without compromising process control, reliability or continuous-duty operation. Real-world performance data de-risks adoption decisions for Indian customers evaluating legacy blower replacement in continuous-duty applications.
Private-label and strategic partnership opportunities
Beyond the Sprintex India Channel Network Expansion, the company is advancing private-label discussions with OEMs and system integrators globally. These partners seek differentiated high-efficiency aeration technology without developing proprietary platforms from first principles.
The discussions reflect increasing interest from established OEMs and integrators seeking to accelerate their own efficiency roadmaps without the time, capital and risk required to develop comparable ultra-high-speed platforms internally. The G15’s performance envelope and integrated architecture position it as a highly attractive private-label platform for established blower manufacturers and system integrators globally.
This opens an additional revenue channel through licensing or OEM supply arrangements independent of direct market sales, with potential to expand the platform’s market reach without requiring Sprintex to establish its own distribution infrastructure in every geography.

Next steps and near-term catalysts
Shipment of the 150 demonstration units is expected in March 2026 following payment of the US$62,000 deposit due 27 February 2026. Recent training sessions in Hyderabad included technical training, live demonstrations and application workshops alongside channel partners and selected end-users.
The staged strategy follows a disciplined three-phase approach:
- Demonstration: Deploy units for site evaluations and performance benchmarking
- Validation: Confirm energy reduction claims and operational reliability in customer environments
- Scale: Transition to commercial volumes once validation is achieved at regional level
Near-term catalysts include demonstration outcomes, commercial order conversions from channel partners, and progress toward the 1,000-unit local assembly threshold. Achievement of this milestone would trigger evaluation of local assembly to qualify for “Product of India” status, enhancing competitiveness in government and municipal tenders while improving supply chain efficiency.
The demonstration-first approach reflects the reality that large, conservative infrastructure markets require proven performance data before committing to technology transitions. Once validation is achieved at the regional level, commercial volumes have the potential to scale materially beyond demonstration stock.
