Technical summary
In Apuiarés, Ceará, FBCN covers local industry with ASME B73.1 normalized hydraulics — direct dimensional interchangeability with market references. Cabreúva-SP (2306 km), 96h to 7 days lead time.


For Apuiarés, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — FBCN centrifugal pumps follow ASME B73.1 normalization, dimensionally interchangeable with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds and other global manufacturers already installed in the plant. FB Bombas application engineering serves Apuiarés with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). In Apuiarés, Ceará, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with API 610 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). Apuiarés sits 91 km from the industrial district cluster centered in Maracanau, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. Apuiarés is served by the BR-116 (via BA/PI) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. In Apuiarés, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). FB Bombas serves Apuiarés from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-116 (via BA/PI) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.

For Apuiarés (2306 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 96h to 7 days — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime. single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment is the initial sealing configuration for Apuiarés; secondary-plan adjustments and dual cartridges are considered based on fluid criticality and environmental requirement. Technical fit in Apuiarés points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. In Apuiarés, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables.
In Apuiarés, 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 Apuiarés, distrito-industrial-cluster seasonality manifests as variable seasonality depending on plant mix — individualized planning — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. Apuiarés has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale — an input that defines commercial priority and relationship type (one-shot, annual program, master agreement). In Apuiarés, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Apuiarés demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the distrito-industrial cluster, Apuiarés shares a technical agenda with diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a direct path to series and materials selection.
2306 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Apuiarés via BR-116 (via BA/PI) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Logistics lead time to Apuiarés is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The technical-service model in Apuiarés is structured as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Apuiarés — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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 Apuiarés 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.
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 Apuiarés and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
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 Apuiarés is handled by our regular road operator.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Apuiarés comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Apuiarés, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Apuiarés and all of Brazil.
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
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.
