FBE Gear Pumps in Gandu

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.

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 API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Gandu. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Gandu with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.

Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Gandu, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Gandu. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.

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 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Gandu and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

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 Gandu. 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.

Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
