FLUIDEX NORTH AMERICA INC.

What FLUIDEX NORTH AMERICA INC. does

Fluidex North America Inc. is a privately held developer and supplier of transformer oil treatment, regeneration, testing, monitoring, and maintenance equipment, headquartered in New Britain, Connecticut, with North American sales and technical support delivered through partner Stratatek in Markham, Ontario. The company was founded in 2012 and markets a catalog of configurable industrial capital equipment targeting utilities, traction/railway operators, mining, marine, and wind power customers.

The product portfolio is organized around four pillars: (1) vacuum oil purifiers (FLD 5D through 77D series) using two-stage vacuum systems to remove dissolved gases, free and dissolved water, and particulates; (2) oil regeneration systems (FLD 12R, FLD 72R) employing reusable Fuller's Earth adsorbent beds claimed to cut oil losses by more than 90% versus traditional methods; (3) oil testing instruments (FLD T tan delta tester, FLD 1T moisture meter, FLD 75T and 90T breakdown voltage testers) compliant with IEC and ASTM standards; and (4) transformer maintenance and monitoring platforms, including the FLD 0.15D online dry-out system, FLD V evacuation system (rated to 1150 kV), and the FLD M online monitoring system that combines remote parameter monitoring with automatic on-demand filtration. The company also offers the FLD 100M Magnetic Mill, a process-intensification device outside the core transformer-oil franchise. A notable technical differentiator is the ability to perform oil treatment while the transformer remains energized and in service, eliminating the need for shutdown during maintenance.

Fluidex operates a direct-sales go-to-market supplemented by an active dealer recruitment program and a multilingual website in English, Spanish, Bulgarian, German, and Italian. Pricing is quote-based across all SKUs, with configurators allowing buyers to specify voltage (220-600V), frequency, component tier (Lite/Premium), sealing material, hose options, and warranty terms (1-10 years). Revenue derives primarily from hardware sales of equipment and systems, with ancillary technical support services. The company is privately held with no disclosed investors, parent entity, or financial filings.

Core offering

Fluidex designs, manufactures, and sells equipment for the treatment, regeneration, testing, monitoring, and maintenance of transformer insulating oil. Its product line includes vacuum oil purifiers, Fuller's Earth-based oil regeneration systems, dielectric oil testers, online transformer monitoring systems, dry-out systems, evacuation systems, and magnetic mills. The equipment enables on-site and energized treatment of transformer oil for power utilities, mining, traction, marine, and wind power operators.

Product overview

Fluidex is a developer of transformer oil treatment equipment offering on-site and energized treatment capabilities. The product portfolio includes three main categories: (1) Vacuum Oil Purifiers (FLD 5D, 8.8D, 20D, 26.4D, 30D, 53D, 77D) for degassing, dehydration, and filtration of transformer oil; (2) Oil Testing equipment (FLD T Tan Delta Tester, FLD 1T Moisture Meter, FLD 75T and 90T Breakdown Voltage Testers) for oil quality analysis; (3) Oil Regeneration systems (FLD 12R and FLD 72R) using Fuller's Earth technology for restoring oxidized transformer oil. Additional offerings include the FLD 0.15D Online Transformer Dry-Out System and FLD V Transformer Evacuation System for maintenance, the FLD M Online Transformer Monitoring System for remote monitoring with automatic oil filtration, and the FLD 100M Magnetic Mill for intensifying physical and chemical processes. The company positions its oil regeneration technology as the only environmentally acceptable process for transformer oil restoration.
