FBE Gear Pumps in Marechal Deodoro

Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Marechal Deodoro, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

FB Bombas manufactures four major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.

Yes, provided the dimension designation coincides. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps — the FBCN occupies the standardised installation envelope defined by the norm, which does not depend on who built the pump running in Marechal Deodoro plants. What is supplied is the complete pump: baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain. FB application engineering runs the dimensional gap analysis before supply, covering flow, head and required NPSH as well.

Yes. Existing installations can undergo retrofit with FB Bombas — the scope covers seal upgrades, swapping worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance gains. A technical report on the current installation serves as the basis for the assessment.

They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Marechal Deodoro, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

Manufacturing in Brazil since 1944, FB Bombas delivers shorter lead times — with no import dependency —, direct technical support from FB engineering, in-house manufactured replacement parts, local-currency pricing free of exchange rate exposure, and on-site service for projects in Marechal Deodoro and surrounding areas.

Yes. On the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is carried out: hydraulic test with characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. The SAT (Site Acceptance Test) on Marechal Deodoro projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Marechal Deodoro with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.

Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Marechal Deodoro plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.

Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal.
