FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Maraú

It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Maraú. Across the duty ranges currently held by imported lines, the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series offer equivalent coverage, with better lead times by dispensing with imports, factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. On a normalized pump, the existing baseplate is preserved when the ASME B73.1 dimension designation matches — which the standard makes independent of the installed brand.

It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to Maraú goes through our regular road operator.

Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Maraú.

The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

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. For details on your project in Maraú, talk to our technical team.

It does. When a special application demands something beyond the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops the solution: modified construction materials, specific sealing arrangements, system-integrated heating, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Engineering reviews each special project as a step prior to manufacturing.

They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Maraú, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Maraú plants, regardless of which brand occupied the base, provided the designation coincides. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, so the new pump takes the position without touching piping or baseplate.

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 ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
