Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Iuiu, Bahia for agronegócio — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (1059 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


Based in Cabreúva-SP at 1059 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas delivers to Iuiu industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support. In Iuiu, Bahia, FB Bombas serves agronegócio projects with the FBCN series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). The FB Bombas FBCN series answers agronegócio demand in Iuiu — FBCN centrifugal pumps for irrigation, water transfer and utility systems in agribusiness. Operating range: Robust for field, Low maintenance, High performance. Iuiu is served by the BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. Iuiu has agronegócio as its main industrial front — which directly shapes the pump type (gear, centrifugal, thermal-oil) with technical fit for each plant. The mining cluster of Paracatu is 473 km from Iuiu, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. In Iuiu, defensivos viscosos and água make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality).

Iuiu receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book. Technical fit in Iuiu points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. In Iuiu, transferência em armazéns and irrigação de processo form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. What defines the FBE external gear pump in Iuiu is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of defensivos e fertilizantes líquidos. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body.
The low fluid-complexity profile in Iuiu (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. The economic profile of Iuiu is agro (34.8% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 179 million): typical local demand runs from process water to viscous processing fluids, a spectrum covered by FBCN and FBE. Iuiu shows a medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). In Iuiu, defensivos viscosos and água form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). In Iuiu, agronegócio accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. Iuiu shows cases like series FBEI for transferência em armazéns and series FBCN for irrigação de processo — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration.
48-72h, with possible technical stop: this is the typical delivery interval Cabreúva-SP → Iuiu, based on a consolidated road route and FB-qualified logistics operators. The BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) corridor (1059 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to Iuiu — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. The factory-to-Iuiu dispatch includes technical packaging (impact protection, moisture sealing), multilingual documentation (PT/EN/ES when required) and approved-carrier tracking.

Regional service from Iuiu — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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.
Send the application data through the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br: fluid (name and viscosity at operating temperature), target flow in m³/h, discharge head in m, available NPSH, operating temperature and regime — continuous or intermittent. After reviewing the briefing, application engineering returns a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time for your project in Iuiu.
The schedule is set by three factors: chosen series, construction materials and stock at order time. Standard configurations ship faster; custom ones receive a firm date in the technical proposal. Delivery to Iuiu is by road, shipping directly from the factory.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Iuiu, 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.
There are three channels: WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br and the form on our website. Technical questions get priority response within the same business day — the reply comes directly from application engineering.
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.
Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Iuiu, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.
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 Iuiu 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.
Who serves Iuiu is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation returned within 3-5 business days and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to Iuiu are added to the plan.
It does. The technical support and logistics covering Iuiu are the same applied to the metropolitan region and nearby microregions. That operating radius enables coordinated service to industrial plants distributed across several cities.
