Technical summary
In Catunda, Ceará, FBCN covers local industry with ASME B73.1 normalized hydraulics — direct dimensional interchangeability with market references. Cabreúva-SP (2205 km), 96h to 7 days lead time.


Through 195-km proximity to the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Catunda inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. Membership in the Noroeste Cearense mesoregion (IBGE) places Catunda in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. FB Bombas application engineering owns technical specification in Catunda — from customer data sheet to the final Data Book delivered with the pump, through application review, FAT on the hydraulic bench and on-site SAT support. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Catunda (CE) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Catunda — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. The óleos industriais and água industrial profile observed in Catunda maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS. The BR-116 (via BA/PI) corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 composes the freight mesh to Catunda — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 2205 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI), FB Bombas delivers to Catunda industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

For Catunda (2205 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. The transferência geral and utilidades set accounts for a large share of industrial demand in Catunda; FB Bombas keeps documented history of analogous applications for sizing benchmarks. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Catunda, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. FBCN sizing for the Catunda circuit checks three points on the curve: the operating point (near BEP), available NPSH with margin over required — critical with hot fluid or suction lift — and end-of-curve power, which protects the motor against overload in off-design operation.
In Catunda, 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 Catunda, value added is dominated by services (27.5%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 138 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. In Catunda, 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. In Catunda, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the distrito-industrial cluster, Catunda shares a technical agenda with diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a direct path to series and materials selection. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Catunda demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project.
2205 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Catunda via BR-116 (via BA/PI) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Alternative routing to Catunda can use BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The technical-service model in Catunda is structured as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip.

Regional service from Catunda — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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.
To receive a technical quote for industrial pumps in Catunda, send via website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br the application data: fluid (name + viscosity at operating temperature), target flow (m³/h), discharge head (m), available NPSH, operating temperature and regime (continuous or intermittent). Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
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 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Catunda, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.
Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Catunda: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.
Contact can be made via WhatsApp at +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br or through the form on our website. Technical response is prioritized on the same business day, with direct reply from the application engineering team.
FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Catunda.
Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Catunda receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.
Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Catunda plants, regardless of which brand occupied the base, provided the designation coincides. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, so the new pump takes the position without touching piping or baseplate.
Yes, we do. Supply for Catunda 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.
