Gear & Centrifugal Pumps in Bom Jesus da Serra

The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Bom Jesus da Serra and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

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.

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 Bom Jesus da Serra and all of Brazil.

FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.

FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Bom Jesus da Serra projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.

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 Bom Jesus da Serra projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.

Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.

Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Bom Jesus da Serra plants, regardless of which brand occupied the base, provided the designation coincides. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, so the new pump takes the position without touching piping or baseplate.

It does. FB pumps for stationary fire protection systems follow the NFPA standard (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT's NBR 16704, requirements demanded in building and industrial projects that call for these certifications.

Shipment is by road via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.
