Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Aratuba, Ceará for agronegócio — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (2273 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


FB Bombas serves Aratuba 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. The BR-116 (via BA/PI) corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 composes the freight mesh to Aratuba — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Aratuba (CE) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For agronegócio — the dominant industrial calling of Aratuba — we recommend the FBCN series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. For projects in Aratuba that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. Through 77-km proximity to the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Aratuba inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. Agronegócio operations in Aratuba map to the FB Bombas FBCN series. FBCN centrifugal pumps for irrigation, water transfer and utility systems in agribusiness. Certified characteristic curve covers Robust for field, Low maintenance, High performance. Aratuba requires pumping of defensivos viscosos and água, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Aratuba receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book. The transferência em armazéns and irrigação de processo set accounts for a large share of industrial demand in Aratuba; FB Bombas keeps documented history of analogous applications for sizing benchmarks. Technical fit in Aratuba 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. What defines the FBE external gear pump in Aratuba is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of defensivos e fertilizantes líquidos. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body.
Fluid-roster complexity in Aratuba is low — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. The demand profile in Aratuba reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. With an agribusiness profile (35.1% of value added in agriculture, IBGE 2021) and a 2023 GDP of R$ 191 million, Aratuba concentrates demand on pumping tied to agro processing — from syrups and molasses to effluents and line cleaning. Typical fluids handled in Aratuba (defensivos viscosos and água) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. The distrito-industrial cluster near Aratuba brings applications such as diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. agronegócio operations in Aratuba demand continuous pumping of process fluids, with preventive-maintenance windows aligned to plant scheduled outages.
Typical transit time to Aratuba: 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Aratuba is BR-116 (via BA/PI), totaling 2273 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Aratuba occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Regional service from Aratuba — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
In Aratuba, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Aratuba are scheduled.
Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
Yes, we do. Supply for Aratuba ships directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP and includes engineering support, spare parts for all four series and free sizing — critical projects may receive an on-site technical visit.
Limits vary by series. FBE and FBEI: up to 350°C, provided a heating jacket and special sealing are used. FBOT: up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits. FBCN: up to 260°C, with materials and sealing suited to the service. Well-sized sealing and materials are a condition for safe operation in these ranges.
They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, a Aratuba plant running a normalized pump of the same designation achieves retrofit on the already-installed baseplate: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, the FBCN pump takes the place of the previous one — piping and baseplate stay intact. Hydraulic equivalence (Q×H and NPSH) is checked separately, on the data sheet.
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.

They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Aratuba eligible for the BNDES Finame lines — Industrial Working Capital, Modernization and Capital Goods —, which offer preferential conditions for national industry. The product's FINAME code is provided by the commercial team on the technical proposal, ready to compose the customer's financial plan.
FB Bombas' trajectory as an industrial pump manufacturer began in 1944 and adds up to over 82 years of continuous experience. Engineering, manufacturing and testing operate under one roof at the Cabreúva/SP factory — a guarantee of total quality control on every unit that reaches Aratuba and the rest of Brazil.
ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Aratuba depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.
