Gear pumps for projects in Ilhéus, Bahia

Service can be requested for Ilhéus and other destinations through the factory channels in Cabreúva, Brazil. Provide each project location and required scope to confirm supply and transport conditions. This does not represent a physical FB Bombas location in every city.

It depends on the series. The catalogue for the FBE external gear pump lists oils in general, greases, asphalt, diesel oil, kerosene, paints, varnishes, resins and solvents, as well as lubrication systems and hydraulic equipment. The FBEI internal gear pump is intended for high-viscosity liquids. The FBCN and FBME handle clean or turbid liquids, and the FBOT handles organic thermal oils free of abrasive particles and of substances that chemically attack the pump. For the process in Ilhéus, state the composition, temperature, viscosity and solids content; fluids with suspended solids must be assessed by FB engineering.

Following the BNDES steps, first check whether the equipment appears on the list of items eligible for BNDES Finame financing, in the CFI Catalog on the bank’s website; for that check, ask the sales team for the identification of the model quoted for Ilhéus. Then apply for financing through an accredited financial agent, such as a commercial bank, development bank, development agency or credit union. The agent reviews the request and, if it approves the operation, forwards it to BNDES, which evaluates the request and authorizes the financing. Being a Brazilian manufacturer does not, on its own, show that the equipment is accredited.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Ilhéus, the operating conditions and the available vibration records; the standard, measurement points and limits are defined for the assembly, with no single limit for every pump. Check the alignment first: the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals identify pump-to-motor misalignment as a source of vibration and premature wear and call for realignment after final installation, because transport usually misaligns the set, which leaves the factory pre-aligned; the stated tolerance is under 0.05 mm radial and 0.6° angular, according to the coupling supplier.

Warranty conditions are defined in the proposal and contract and vary with the series, operating conditions and agreement. The manuals state what can void it. Under the FBEI manual (MAN001-10), operating with a different fluid or outside the pump’s data sheets and certified documents without FB’s written authorization voids the warranty. Under the FBME service manual (MSERV-08/01), after parts are replaced, the operating and performance warranty applies only with original parts and FB’s consent. For the project in Ilhéus, confirm the conditions in the quotation.

Yes, in the five Custom Solutions categories: custom complete motor-pump assembly, mobile industrial kit, industrial pump skid, retrofit with a new FB pump in place of the installed one, and special materials projects. The scope of each project is defined with engineering before manufacture in Cabreúva, Brazil.

Lead time to Ilhéus depends on the model, configuration and transport. Several FBE models are kept in stock; availability and expected dispatch for each item are confirmed in the quotation. State the destination and the date you need so that the proposal also defines freight and delivery responsibilities.

The review for Ilhéus considers the fluid, flow, required pressure or head, temperature, viscosity and installation conditions. Provide what you already know and identify any equipment in use. The team checks the necessary data before confirming series, model, drive and materials.

It depends on the series, as set out in each manual: 10 kgf/cm² for the FBE (MTEC-01/01, Table 5), 1.5 times the operating pressure for the FBOT (MTEC-16/00), 1.5 times the working pressure for the FBME (MTEC-08/01) and per ANSI B73.1 for the FBCN (MTEC-03/00). The test is performed on the factory bench in Cabreúva, Brazil; certificates, additional tests and customer witnessing are defined in the proposal for supply to Ilhéus.

It depends on the series. The published limits are up to 260 °C for the FBCN, 350 °C for the FBOT, 340 °C for the FBEI and 140 °C for the FBME. For the FBE, the 2026 catalogue gives a range of 10 °C to 500 °C; the limit of each configuration depends on materials and sealing. These are series limits: they do not automatically apply to every model, nor do they necessarily occur together with the other maximums. State the start-up, operating and cleaning temperatures of the process in Ilhéus.
