Gear pumps for projects in Traipu, Alagoas

It depends on the series. Installation and operation instructions are in FBEI manual MAN001-10 and in FBME service manual MSERV-08/01, which also covers maintenance and recommends FB-authorized supervision during installation. The FBE (MTEC-01/01), FBCN (MTEC-03/00) and FBOT (MTEC-16/00) technical manuals provide technical data, sectional drawings, parts lists and dimensions; for installing and maintaining these series, the published services include on-site start-up and commissioning and maintenance contracts. The manuals are on the website’s technical manuals page (PDFs in Portuguese), and MSERV-08/01 is on the FBME series page. For the operation in Traipu, identify the series and model from the pump’s nameplate.

Yes, when they are included in the purchase scope. The published services include bench performance testing with a scope defined for the project, and on-site start-up and commissioning based on the manual and site conditions. Procedure, test points, acceptance criteria, customer witnessing and reports are defined in the proposal before the supply for Traipu is contracted.

With the pump and part identification. State the pump model and identification, the part as shown in the parts list of the series manual, the urgency and the destination in Traipu; the team checks availability and confirms service and transport options. There is no published universal parts lead time or automatic guarantee of consignment stock. To reduce downtime, the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals include the list of spare parts for two years of operation.

The proposal should define availability, dispatch, transport, packaging and responsibilities for delivery to Traipu. State access, unloading and receiving restrictions. Route, mode and timing are confirmed for the supply; a reference distance is not a road route or delivery time.

The published grade is for the FBME: service manual MSERV-08/01 (item 12.2) specifies static and dynamic impeller balancing to grade G6.3. The manuals of the other series do not publish a grade; for them and for critical projects in Traipu, specify the required standard, grade and report in the purchase scope. Impeller balancing alone does not guarantee the vibration level of the installation.

Service can be requested for Traipu and other destinations through the factory channels in Cabreúva, Brazil. Provide each project location and required scope to confirm supply and transport conditions. This does not represent a physical FB Bombas location in every city.

Warranty conditions are defined in the proposal and contract and vary with the series, operating conditions and agreement. The manuals state what can void it. Under the FBEI manual (MAN001-10), operating with a different fluid or outside the pump’s data sheets and certified documents without FB’s written authorization voids the warranty. Under the FBME service manual (MSERV-08/01), after parts are replaced, the operating and performance warranty applies only with original parts and FB’s consent. For the project in Traipu, confirm the conditions in the quotation.

By replacement, not refurbishment. FB Bombas replaces the old pump with a new, complete FB pump manufactured in Cabreúva, Brazil. Before the order, engineering assesses the installation and issues a data sheet and dimensional drawing; the drawing confirms whether the existing baseplate and piping can be kept or need adaptation. FB does not refurbish other manufacturers’ pumps, sell third-party parts or reuse the installed casing. For FB pumps in service, it supplies original parts and maintenance contracts.

No: manual MTEC-03/00 states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1, not dimensional compliance with that standard. So, before a replacement in Traipu, interchangeability with the existing pump is checked on each model’s drawing, together with the duty point, materials and drive.

It depends on the series. The catalogue for the FBE external gear pump lists oils in general, greases, asphalt, diesel oil, kerosene, paints, varnishes, resins and solvents, as well as lubrication systems and hydraulic equipment. The FBEI internal gear pump is intended for high-viscosity liquids. The FBCN and FBME handle clean or turbid liquids, and the FBOT handles organic thermal oils free of abrasive particles and of substances that chemically attack the pump. For the process in Traipu, state the composition, temperature, viscosity and solids content; fluids with suspended solids must be assessed by FB engineering.
