Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Aratuba, Ceará for local industry — 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. FB Bombas technical service in Aratuba covers centrifugal- and gear-pump sizing, commissioning support, assisted startup and operator training — a scope that spans the full technical-supply cycle. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Aratuba (CE) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Aratuba — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. 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. For projects in Aratuba that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover API 610 (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. The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Norte Cearense, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. Aratuba requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Aratuba requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.
Material selection for óleos industriais and água industrial in Aratuba considers AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. The transferência geral and utilidades 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. Aratuba receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book.
Fluid-roster complexity in Aratuba is low — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Typical seasonality of the distrito-industrial cluster (variable seasonality depending on plant mix — individualized planning) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Aratuba. The demand profile in Aratuba reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. Typical fluids handled in Aratuba (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Typical use cases identified for Aratuba: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades. 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.
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.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Aratuba — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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. FB Bombas serves Aratuba and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.
Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Aratuba. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
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.
Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Aratuba. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.
Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Aratuba with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
