FBE Gear Pumps in Capim Grosso

It is. From the data of the pump in operation (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature), FB Bombas' application engineering proposes a technical equivalence — dimensional or functional — with one of our series. This replacement has already been done by many clients in Capim Grosso, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.

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.

Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

It does. FB Bombas' technical training program for operators and maintainers in Capim Grosso covers: characteristic-curve reading and sizing, cavitation identified via NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, vibration analyzed per ISO 10816 and preventive maintenance (PM) practice, including bearing and wear-ring replacement. Location and format are flexible — customer plant or the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

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.

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.

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, when the dimension designation matches. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), which requires pumps of the same designation, from any source of supply, to be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, baseplate and foundation bolt holes — in Capim Grosso plants this applies to the installed normalized fleet. FB Bombas supplies the complete pump, not loose parts: baseplate, piping and foundation stay, and a new FBCN goes in. Before supply, application engineering checks the duty point (Q×H), available NPSH and flange class — a matching designation alone does not guarantee hydraulic equivalence.

FB Bombas' trajectory as an industrial pump manufacturer began in 1944 and adds up to over 82 years of continuous experience. Engineering, manufacturing and testing operate under one roof at the Cabreúva/SP factory — a guarantee of total quality control on every unit that reaches Capim Grosso and the rest of Brazil.

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 Capim Grosso 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.
