Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Catunda, Ceará for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (2205 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 2205 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI), FB Bombas reaches Catunda with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. 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. For projects in Catunda 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. 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 road network BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020, with BR-116 (via BA/PI) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Catunda. Only 195 km from the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Catunda benefits from logistics spillover and movement of technical professionals — FB Bombas has a service track record in the region. The fluid roster in Catunda (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands attention to viscosity, operating temperature and chemical compatibility — variables that FB application engineering uses to recommend the proper series.

Catunda receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Catunda, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. Catunda: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. In viscous fluid services in Catunda, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage.
In Catunda, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. 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. Catunda has a services-oriented economy (27.5% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 138 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Typical fluids handled in Catunda (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. The distrito-industrial cluster near Catunda 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 use cases identified for Catunda: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades.
Logistics lead time to Catunda is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 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. The factory-to-Catunda logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

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.

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.
