Gear & Centrifugal Pumps in Baixa Grande

ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Baixa Grande depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.

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.

Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Baixa Grande. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, Baixa Grande plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve achieve dimensional retrofit on already-installed baseplates: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, only the rotating set is exchanged — piping and baseplate stay intact.

Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Baixa Grande 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.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Baixa Grande, 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.

Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.

Yes — Baixa Grande is part of FB Bombas’ direct service area. Supply, engineering support and spare parts ship from the factory in Cabreúva/SP; sizing is done at no cost and, when the project is critical, the team evaluates an on-site technical visit.

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 Baixa Grande projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.

Since 1944 — over 82 years of continuous experience manufacturing industrial pumps. In Cabreúva/SP, the factory brings engineering, manufacturing and testing together under one roof, which assures total quality control on each unit shipped to Baixa Grande and all across Brazil.
