FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Quebrangulo

Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.

Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

FB Bombas manufactures three 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. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Quebrangulo, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.

Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Quebrangulo.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Quebrangulo. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.

FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Quebrangulo and all of Brazil.

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. Logistics for Quebrangulo is handled by our regular road operator.

Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
