FBE Gear Pumps in Rio do Antônio

It does. FB Bombas' retrofit service for existing installations encompasses updated seals, replaced worn components, adjustment to new fluids and improved hydraulic performance. To evaluate each case, the reference is the technical report on the current installation.

Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Rio do Antônio have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

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 Rio do Antônio, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Rio do Antônio, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

The portfolio covers four in-house series: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for low-pulsation services, FBCN (standardized centrifugal) for water and light fluids and FBOT (dedicated centrifugal) for thermal oil — plus complete fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 and NBR 16704.

Yes. On pumps installed in Rio do Antônio, 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.

The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Rio do Antônio and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Rio do Antônio. Across the duty ranges currently held by imported lines, the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series offer equivalent coverage, with better lead times by dispensing with imports, factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. On a normalized pump, the existing baseplate is preserved when the ASME B73.1 dimension designation matches — which the standard makes independent of the installed brand.

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 Rio do Antônio, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
