FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Presidente Figueiredo

For water, condensate and low-viscosity fluids, the recommendation is the FBCN standardized centrifugal — 53 models with bench-tested curves and back-pull-out maintenance, which frees the rotating assembly without dismantling the piping. The exact model comes from the circuit’s flow × head pair.

Four families are manufactured in Cabreúva/SP: external gear FBE and internal gear FBEI for viscous fluids, standardized centrifugal FBCN for low-viscosity liquids and FBOT for thermal oil circuits up to 350 °C. Fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 complete the line.

Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.

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.

Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.

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 Presidente Figueiredo, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Presidente Figueiredo with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.

They are. For each delivery to Presidente Figueiredo, FB Bombas assembles the unit's complete technical Data Book, containing: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates — stainless steel, duplex or ductile cast iron, per spec —, ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve obtained on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. Full traceability happens through the serial number.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Presidente Figueiredo, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.

Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Presidente Figueiredo receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.
