Technical solutions
In viscous fluid services in Planalto, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. For the technical profile observed in Planalto, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. Material selection for óleos industriais and água industrial in Planalto considers austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. For Planalto, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.
Why FB Bombas
Technically, Planalto shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. In Planalto, value added is dominated by services (40.2%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 325 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Demand in Planalto is characterized by medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. The fluid catalogue in Planalto (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Use cases in Planalto (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The papel-celulose cluster around Planalto concentrates applications white/black liquor circulation, recovery-boiler feed and low-to-medium consistency stock pumping — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history.
Logistics & support
Planalto receives equipment within 48-72h, with possible technical stop counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory.

Frequently Asked Questions about Planalto
How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in Planalto?
How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in Planalto?
A technical quote for Planalto starts with the application briefing, sent via website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. Required items: fluid name with viscosity at operating temperature, target flow (m³/h), discharge head (m), available NPSH, operating temperature and whether the regime is continuous or intermittent. Once the analysis is complete, application engineering replies bringing a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
How is pump sizing performed?
How is pump sizing performed?
Send flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity: with these four data points FB engineering calculates the right model, also validating available NPSH, operating regime and material compatibility. The service is free of charge for customers in Planalto.
Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
They do. In the FBE and FBCN lines, wear-affected components sit in easily accessible positions, so conventional tools suffice for disassembly and inspection. Add detailed technical manuals and factory-direct availability of replacement parts — and maintenance becomes an uncomplicated routine.
Does FB Bombas serve cities neighboring Planalto?
Does FB Bombas serve cities neighboring Planalto?
Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Planalto receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
Yes. For stationary fire protection systems, FB Bombas produces pumps compliant with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and with ABNT's NBR 16704 — covering building and industrial projects that demand these certifications.
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in Planalto?
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in Planalto?
Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Planalto, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.
Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?
Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?
Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Planalto, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
