FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Licínio de Almeida

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.

Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.

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.

FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Licínio de Almeida projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.

FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Licínio de Almeida and all of Brazil.

Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Licínio de Almeida: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.

Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Licínio de Almeida plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.

It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.

During a plant shutdown in Licínio de Almeida, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.
