Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Potiraguá, Bahia for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (1147 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 1147 km via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG), FB Bombas reaches Potiraguá with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. Through 91-km proximity to the pulp-and-paper cluster of Eunapolis, Potiraguá inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Centro Sul Baiano, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Potiraguá, Bahia with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 610 / API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers) and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. FB Bombas application engineering owns technical specification in Potiraguá — from customer data sheet to the final Data Book delivered with the pump, through application review, FAT on the hydraulic bench and on-site SAT support. The BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-324 composes the freight mesh to Potiraguá — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. Potiraguá requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Potiraguá requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.
Potiraguá, near a papel-celulose cluster, deals with liquor circulation, white water, low-to-medium consistency stock pumps — a technical agenda well known to FB application engineering. Potiraguá: óleos industriais and água industrial suggest materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. Potiraguá 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 Potiraguá undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
In Potiraguá, 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 Potiraguá, 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. In Potiraguá, papel-celulose-cluster seasonality manifests as annual maintenance shutdowns concentrate demand into predictable windows — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Potiraguá demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Potiraguá, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the papel-celulose cluster, Potiraguá shares a technical agenda with white/black liquor circulation, recovery-boiler feed and low-to-medium consistency stock pumping — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Logistics lead time to Potiraguá is 48-72h, with possible technical stop — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 1147 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Potiraguá via BR-116 (via Fernão Dias BR-381 até MG) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Potiraguá logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

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 Potiraguá.
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Potiraguá plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Potiraguá. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Potiraguá for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods) with preferential conditions for national industry. The commercial team provides the product FINAME code on the technical proposal for inclusion in the customer financial plan.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Potiraguá. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.
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.
