FBE Gear Pumps in Santa Luzia

Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.

FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Santa Luzia projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.

It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Santa Luzia projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Santa Luzia. 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.

Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Santa Luzia is handled by our regular road operator.

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 Santa Luzia and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

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 Santa Luzia have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

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.

Every FB pump leaves the factory with a warranty against manufacturing defects, under the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The condition is that installation, operation and maintenance respect the manual's parameters and the sizing defined by engineering.
