Gear pumps for projects in Mascote, Bahia

Yes, for FB product lines. The FBE catalogue lists replacement components such as shafts, gears, bushing sets, covers, mechanical seal, lip seal and relief valve, and the FBEI and FBME manuals include spare-parts lists for two years of operation. For delivery to Mascote, state the series, model, manufacturing number and component; compatibility, availability and lead time are confirmed in the quotation. Supply ships from the factory in Cabreúva, Brazil; the city page does not indicate local stock. Use original parts: the FBME service manual makes the operating and performance warranty conditional on original parts and FB’s consent.

FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing. Send the identification and drawing of the pump installed in Mascote, with flow, head, fluid, materials and drive.

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 Mascote.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Mascote, 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.

The catalogue includes FBE external gear, FBEI internal gear, FBCN standardized centrifugal, FBME multistage centrifugal and FBOT thermal oil pumps, fire systems and custom solutions. Review each family’s documentation; configuration and availability are confirmed in the quotation.

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 Mascote.

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 Mascote. 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.

With the pump and part identification. State the pump model and identification, the part as shown in the parts list of the series manual, the urgency and the destination in Mascote; the team checks availability and confirms service and transport options. There is no published universal parts lead time or automatic guarantee of consignment stock. To reduce downtime, the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals include the list of spare parts for two years of operation.

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 Mascote, confirm the conditions in the quotation.

Yes, once equivalence has been confirmed. FB Bombas replaces the installed pump with a complete FB pump and, before the order, assesses the installation and sends a data sheet and dimensional drawing. For the installation in Mascote, send the identification and drawing of the current pump, with its duty point, fluid, materials and drive; origin or a similar designation does not guarantee direct replacement.
