Competency and Development
FLUITEN's commercial range includes theoretical
and practical training courses.
Total product knowledge, the correct use of
machines and complying with maintenance
procedures guarantees that our Customers can
reach ambitious objectives. And they want to help
them, to be by their side, as this happens.

Quality Control
The enforcement of ISO 9000 and Vision 2000
standards only officialised the procedures which
FLUITEN had already been using for many years
in all of its production processes.
Quality is a behaviour line that they have been
following for many years and that they want always
to improve on, thanks also to the Customers'
counselling and feedback.
Their metrological laboratory is the real evidence
that FLUITEN's Quality is synonymous with
Reliability.

Research and Investment
More than 20 years ago - since the early 80's -
Fluiten was producing seals for centrifugal
compressors at 12 000 rev/min.
Today all of the tests satisfy the most severe
standards of the American Petroleum Institute.
Recently, Fluiten have designed and produced seal
rings for machine tools, suitable for operation at
pressures higher than 100 bar and extremely
high speeds (30-40,000 rpm) and suitable for dryrunning
condition to meet the market demand.
Furthermore, they are the benchmark for the Italian
mixer manufacturers and work with them, carrying
out dynamic tests that simulate the real
operating conditions.
Fluiten has achieved success by making the
decision to involve the Customers and working
together in the continuous search for new
applications.

Technical Service
Fluiten are convinced that Customer
loyalty can be gained by improving product
performance instead of selling spare parts.
Notwithstanding this fact, they continually adopt
improvements in the work place.
The Customers know that the word Service
means much more than simply help.
Fluiten offer support in the assembly and startup
of more critical systems, and study how to
adapt machines for retrofitting, failure analysis,
the search for MTBF (Mean Time Between
Failures) in order to reduce maintenance costs.
They were among the first manufacturers to
successfully propose Global Service contracts,
through which they assure well established
performance to their customers.
