Technical solutions

For the industrial park of Branquinha, the FBE series answers the services kinetic hydraulics cannot cover: transfer with stable flow under fluctuating pressure, dosing proportional to speed and high-viscosity fluids — the typical case of caldo de cana, melaço e vinhaça. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps. In Branquinha, materials such as AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere answer the requirements of melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment is the initial sealing configuration for Branquinha; secondary-plan adjustments and dual cartridges are considered based on fluid criticality and environmental requirement. In Branquinha, transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. In Branquinha, FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to replacing an installed pump carrying the same ASME B73.1 dimensional designation. FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) is the operating window initially considered for Branquinha — the final curve is finalized after piping-network analysis (head loss, geometric head, required vs. available NPSH). For Branquinha, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.

Why FB Bombas

In Branquinha, the high complexity index in the fluid mix sets diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Branquinha, sucroalcooleiro-cluster seasonality manifests as concentrated harvest season (Apr-Nov) creates short maintenance windows and intense parts demand during milling — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. In Branquinha, low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. Branquinha has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale — an input that defines commercial priority and relationship type (one-shot, annual program, master agreement). With an agribusiness profile (85.2% of value added in agriculture, IBGE 2021) and a 2023 GDP of R$ 849 million, Branquinha concentrates demand on pumping tied to agro processing — from syrups and molasses to effluents and line cleaning. Typical fluids handled in Branquinha (melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Typical use cases identified for Branquinha: series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação. Fire protection systems (NFPA 20 / ABNT NBR 16704) are a recurring application in industrial plants in Branquinha — scope covered by FB Bombas' FBFS line. The sucroalcooleiro cluster near Branquinha brings applications such as juice circulation, molasses transfer, vinasse boost and thermal oil for evaporators — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. For engineered-to-order projects in Branquinha, FB Bombas offers custom solutions — mounted skids, mobile sets (diesel/electric trailer) and retrofit of legacy equipment. sucroalcooleiro operations in Branquinha demand continuous pumping of process fluids, with preventive-maintenance windows aligned to plant scheduled outages.

Logistics & support

For Branquinha, 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. Cabreúva-SP → Branquinha via BR-101 (via SE/BA) (1962 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. The BR-101, BR-104 and BR-316 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Branquinha — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. The distance to Branquinha opens room for multimodal routing — road + rail combination (where available) reduces total freight cost in high-volume projects. For Branquinha, FB service follows the technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries. For Branquinha, FB dispatch is preceded by: hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run with curve points, G2.5 dynamic balancing and Data Book closure — all traceable by serial number.
