Industrial pumps for projects in Simões Filho, Bahia

The choice depends on the process stage. The catalogue for the FBE external gear pump lists paints, varnishes, solvents and resins, as well as lubrication systems and hydraulic equipment; the FBCN and FBME handle water and other clean or turbid liquids; and the FBOT serves thermal oil circuits. For the plant in Simões Filho, state the stage, the fluid and the operating conditions; series and configuration are confirmed in the review.

It depends on the series. The catalogue for the FBE external gear pump lists oils in general, greases, asphalt, diesel oil, kerosene, paints, varnishes, resins and solvents, as well as lubrication systems and hydraulic equipment. The FBEI internal gear pump is intended for high-viscosity liquids. The FBCN and FBME handle clean or turbid liquids, and the FBOT handles organic thermal oils free of abrasive particles and of substances that chemically attack the pump. For the process in Simões Filho, state the composition, temperature, viscosity and solids content; fluids with suspended solids must be assessed by FB engineering.

Following the BNDES steps, first check whether the equipment appears on the list of items eligible for BNDES Finame financing, in the CFI Catalog on the bank’s website; for that check, ask the sales team for the identification of the model quoted for Simões Filho. Then apply for financing through an accredited financial agent, such as a commercial bank, development bank, development agency or credit union. The agent reviews the request and, if it approves the operation, forwards it to BNDES, which evaluates the request and authorizes the financing. Being a Brazilian manufacturer does not, on its own, show that the equipment is accredited.

It depends on the series. Installation and operation instructions are in FBEI manual MAN001-10 and in FBME service manual MSERV-08/01, which also covers maintenance and recommends FB-authorized supervision during installation. The FBE (MTEC-01/01), FBCN (MTEC-03/00) and FBOT (MTEC-16/00) technical manuals provide technical data, sectional drawings, parts lists and dimensions; for installing and maintaining these series, the published services include on-site start-up and commissioning and maintenance contracts. The manuals are on the website’s technical manuals page (PDFs in Portuguese), and MSERV-08/01 is on the FBME series page. For the operation in Simões Filho, identify the series and model from the pump’s nameplate.

It depends on the size. According to Table 2 of manual MTEC-01/01, the maximum is 2,500 SSU for sizes 1/8" to 1/4", 7,500 SSU for 3/8" to 1", 50,000 SSU for 1.1/2" to 2" and 100,000 SSU for 3" to 6". Speed decreases as viscosity rises: the drive is direct up to 7,500 SSU and, above that, by pulley or gear reducer, down to 150 rpm in the 50,000 to 100,000 SSU range. State the viscosity of the fluid for the project in Simões Filho at start-up and operating temperatures so that engineering can confirm size and speed.

Use WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, telephone +55 11 4898-9200, comercial@fbbombas.com.br or the website form. To help the team, describe the application, project destination and any pump data already available.

It depends on the series. The published limits are up to 260 °C for the FBCN, 350 °C for the FBOT, 340 °C for the FBEI and 140 °C for the FBME. For the FBE, the 2026 catalogue gives a range of 10 °C to 500 °C; the limit of each configuration depends on materials and sealing. These are series limits: they do not automatically apply to every model, nor do they necessarily occur together with the other maximums. State the start-up, operating and cleaning temperatures of the process in Simões Filho.

Service can be requested for Simões Filho and other destinations through the factory channels in Cabreúva, Brazil. Provide each project location and required scope to confirm supply and transport conditions. This does not represent a physical FB Bombas location in every city.

Send the application in Simões Filho, fluid, temperature and available flow, pressure or head data. For replacement, add the equipment model, identification and drawing. Also state the destination and purchase documentation requirements. The team confirms any additional data needed and the technical and commercial proposal scope.

It depends on the series, as set out in each manual: 10 kgf/cm² for the FBE (MTEC-01/01, Table 5), 1.5 times the operating pressure for the FBOT (MTEC-16/00), 1.5 times the working pressure for the FBME (MTEC-08/01) and per ANSI B73.1 for the FBCN (MTEC-03/00). The test is performed on the factory bench in Cabreúva, Brazil; certificates, additional tests and customer witnessing are defined in the proposal for supply to Simões Filho.
