FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Ribeira do Amparo

Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Ribeira do Amparo for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods), with preferential conditions for national industry. On the technical proposal, the commercial team includes the product's FINAME code to enter the customer's financial plan.

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Ribeira do Amparo and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

Yes — Ribeira do Amparo 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. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Ribeira do Amparo, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.

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 Ribeira do Amparo, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

Yes. On pumps installed in Ribeira do Amparo, 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.

Four pillars: a current Petrobras CRCC registration for Oil & Gas; API 676 (positive displacement) on the FBE series; ASME B73.1 (process centrifugals) on the FBCN series; and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 compliance for stationary fire pumps.

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.

When there is a plant shutdown in Ribeira do Amparo, FB Bombas triggers an emergency flow dedicated to critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings): the order gets pre-invoicing, dispatch is prioritized and the modal can change — express road or air, decided by distance and criticality. The region defines the typical lead time, with a window negotiable for each case. For those with an installed base and scheduled PM, there is the option of consigning part of the stock at the plant.

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 Ribeira do Amparo.
