FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Lauro de Freitas

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 Lauro de Freitas. 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.

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 Lauro de Freitas and the rest of Brazil.

The portfolio covers four in-house series: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for low-pulsation services, FBCN (standardized centrifugal) for water and light fluids and FBOT (dedicated centrifugal) for thermal oil — plus complete fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 and NBR 16704.

Application engineering starts from four variables — flow, differential pressure, temperature and viscosity — and refines with available NPSH, duty cycle and chemical compatibility. The study is free for customers in Lauro de Freitas and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.

Every FB pump leaves the factory with a warranty against manufacturing defects, under the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The condition is that installation, operation and maintenance respect the manual's parameters and the sizing defined by engineering.

Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Lauro de Freitas, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

They are. The ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) adopted in the FBCN series makes the pump-and-motor set swappable with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds and Flowserve units already operating in Lauro de Freitas plants. In a typical retrofit, baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are preserved — only the rotating set is replaced. The dimensional gap analysis is executed by FB application engineering before supplying.

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 Lauro de Freitas and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.

When there is a plant shutdown in Lauro de Freitas, FB Bombas triggers an emergency flow dedicated to critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings): the order gets pre-invoicing, dispatch is prioritized and the modal can change — express road or air, decided by distance and criticality. The region defines the typical lead time, with a window negotiable for each case. For those with an installed base and scheduled PM, there is the option of consigning part of the stock at the plant.
