Gear pump selection for Pé de Serra starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid. Pé de Serra: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Pé de Serra typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Pé de Serra undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
In Pé de Serra, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Pé de Serra, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. A GDP of R$ 166 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (25.5% of value added in 2021) places Pé de Serra's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Pé de Serra: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. For Pé de Serra, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives: this is the typical application set around the refino cluster in which Pé de Serra sits.
Typical transit time to Pé de Serra: 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Pé de Serra is BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), totaling 1504 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Pé de Serra occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Regional service from Pé de Serra — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Who serves Pé de Serra 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 Pé de Serra are added to the plan.
Yes. On pumps installed in Pé de Serra, FB Bombas application engineering applies ISO 10816 (velocity RMS in mm/s) to diagnose misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation. The scope covers baseline captured at startup, spectral comparison throughout PM campaigns and recommendation of interventions — re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment — before the machine reaches the standard's zone D.
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.
Credentials include an active Petrobras CRCC, API 676 compliance on the FBE gear line, ASME B73.1 compliance on the FBCN centrifugal and adherence to NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 on fire-fighting systems. Technical documentation and data book accompany supplies upon requirement.
Yes — Pé de Serra is part of FB Bombas’ direct service area. Supply, engineering support and spare parts ship from the factory in Cabreúva/SP; sizing is done at no cost and, when the project is critical, the team evaluates an on-site technical visit.
Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Pé de Serra. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover the same applications served by imported equipment — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, spare parts for FB pumps themselves and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. In a normalized centrifugal retrofit, ASME B73.1 requires that units of the same standard dimension designation, from any source of supply, be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft and foundation bolt holes.
