FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Cruz

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 Cruz have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

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 Cruz. 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.

FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Cruz and all of Brazil.

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.

Yes. FB Bombas serves Cruz 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.

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 application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Cruz. 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. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Cruz, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

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 Cruz.

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Cruz and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
