Technical solutions

The applicable operating envelope spans FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 138 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — sufficient for most industrial applications identified in Caucaia. Caucaia, near a refino cluster, deals with crude oil, derivatives, high temperature (up to 260°C in FBCN, 350°C in FBOT) and API 610 qualification — a technical agenda well known to FB application engineering. Typical applications mapped for Caucaia include hidráulica industrial, resfriamento de moldes, tinturaria and calandras aquecidas — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. Material selection for óleos hidráulicos, fluidos de corte and água industrial in Caucaia considers AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. Recommended sealing for the operation profile in Caucaia is dual cartridge mechanical seal (API 682 Plan 53A/53B) for hazardous or high-temperature fluids — a choice that affects MTBF and maintenance procedure. For the technical profile observed in Caucaia, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN+FBOT as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. For Caucaia, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.

Why FB Bombas

Technically, Caucaia shows high complexity in its fluid mix — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. In Caucaia, FB Bombas positions itself with an integrated 6-series portfolio (FBE, FBEI, FBCN, FBOT, FBFS, Custom) under the same Cabreúva-SP industrial perimeter — a rare combination of technical depth with domestic manufacturing. Demand in Caucaia is characterized by high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Observed seasonal pattern: scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain. Caucaia follows the same rhythm as the nearby refino cluster. Caucaia: ranks among the 10 largest cities in the state at relevant industrial scale, a structural variable in the commercial offer. In Caucaia, óleos hidráulicos, fluidos de corte and água industrial form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). Caucaia, among the 10 most populous cities in CE, is a regional benchmark of economic activity, sustains a predictable B2B demand chain — an ideal profile for scheduled supply and multi-year replacement contracts. For Caucaia, the FBFS line offers a complete fire-protection package: main pump, jockey, control panel NFPA 20 and diesel fuel tank — scope per NFPA 20. Caucaia shows cases like series FBEI for hidráulica industrial and series FBCN+FBOT for resfriamento de moldes and tinturaria — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration. In Caucaia, near a refino cluster, applications such as crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. In Caucaia, metalurgia accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits.

Logistics & support

Logistics lead time to Caucaia is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. Alternative routing to Caucaia 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 Caucaia is structured as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip. 2360 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Caucaia via BR-116 (via BA/PI) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. On projects for Caucaia, logistics may include multimodal consolidation — a relevant alternative for large equipment or tight deadlines. The factory-to-Caucaia logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Frequently Asked Questions about Caucaia

Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Caucaia.

Yes. FBOT is FB Bombas’ specific centrifugal pump for thermal oil circuits, operating at elevated temperatures with fluids like Therminol, Dowtherm and similar. Material and sealing selection is done according to the maximum operating temperature and type of thermal oil.

Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Caucaia. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

Yes. FB Bombas serves Caucaia 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. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.

Yes.

All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.

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 Caucaia. 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.

Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Caucaia have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

Service to Caucaia is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory — no intermediaries, no resellers. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, technical quotes returned within 24h and original spare parts supplied without distributor markup.
