Technical solutions
What defines the FBE external gear pump in Arataca is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of defensivos e fertilizantes líquidos. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body. For defensivos viscosos and água, the materials recommendation in Arataca converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Technical fit in Arataca points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. For Arataca, 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 Arataca, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. Agriculture leads value added in Arataca (27.9%, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 135 million) — and agribusiness is pump territory: processing, washing, effluents and vegetable oils cross the FBCN and FBE series. In Arataca, 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. In Arataca, defensivos viscosos and água form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). In Arataca, agronegócio accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. In Arataca, near a papel-celulose cluster, applications such as white/black liquor circulation, recovery-boiler feed and low-to-medium consistency stock pumping make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues.
Logistics & support
Logistics lead time to Arataca is 48-72h, with possible technical stop — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 1206 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Arataca via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Arataca logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Frequently Asked Questions about Arataca
Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
Yes. The design of the FBE and FBCN lines favors direct access to wear-prone components — disassembly and inspection are done with conventional tools. The routine gets even simpler with detailed technical manuals and replacement parts supplied straight from the factory.
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Arataca, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in Arataca?
How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in Arataca?
Send the application data through the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br: fluid (name and viscosity at operating temperature), target flow in m³/h, discharge head in m, available NPSH, operating temperature and regime — continuous or intermittent. After reviewing the briefing, application engineering returns a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time for your project in Arataca.
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
Limits vary by series. FBE and FBEI: up to 350°C, provided a heating jacket and special sealing are used. FBOT: up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits. FBCN: up to 260°C, with materials and sealing suited to the service. Well-sized sealing and materials are a condition for safe operation in these ranges.
