Technical summary
FBEI gear pumps (FB Bombas) in Forquilha, Ceará: sized for local industry, viscous fluids up to 350°C, API 676 compliance and in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP at 2291 km. Typical critical-parts lead time: 96h to 7 days.


Typical fluids in Forquilha's industrial operations include óleos industriais and água industrial — a vector that determines whether the correct specification is the FBE/FBEI (gear) or FBCN/FBOT (centrifugal / thermal oil) series. 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 Forquilha. In Forquilha, FB Bombas serves projects with in-house application engineering: system-curve analysis, NPSH balance (available vs required), series selection (FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI / FBFS) and API 682 sealing plan. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Forquilha (CE) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Forquilha — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. Forquilha sits 182 km from the industrial district cluster centered in Maracanau, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. For the Forquilha, Ceará market, FB Bombas offers industrial pumps with certified hydraulic tests, ASME B73.1 (dimensional interchangeability) and a traceable Data Book per unit — a technical package that shortens the customer homologation cycle. Cabreúva-SP → Forquilha (2291 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book.

Gear pump selection for Forquilha starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid. Forquilha: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. In Forquilha, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to replacing an installed pump carrying the same ASME B73.1 dimensional designation. Forquilha receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book.
In Forquilha, 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 Forquilha, 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. With a GDP of R$ 346 million (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 18.8% of value added (2021), Forquilha combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. The fluid catalogue in Forquilha (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. The distrito-industrial cluster around Forquilha concentrates applications diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. Use cases in Forquilha (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region.
Forquilha receives equipment within 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Forquilha: 2291 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Before shipment to Forquilha, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.
FB engineers serve Forquilha for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Forquilha — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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.
Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Forquilha with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Forquilha, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
FB Bombas manufactures four 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.
FB Bombas' trajectory as an industrial pump manufacturer began in 1944 and adds up to over 82 years of continuous experience. Engineering, manufacturing and testing operate under one roof at the Cabreúva/SP factory — a guarantee of total quality control on every unit that reaches Forquilha and the rest of Brazil.
Four pillars: a current Petrobras CRCC registration for Oil & Gas; API 676 (positive displacement) on the FBE series; ASME B73.1 (process centrifugals) on the FBCN series; and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 compliance for stationary fire pumps.
There is no single configuration — engineering selects the mechanical seal based on the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. The range includes single seals, double seals in tandem or back-to-back arrangement, cartridge seals and packing glands in specific applications. When the fluid is hazardous, the recommendation is a double seal with barrier.
There are three channels: WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br and the form on our website. Technical questions get priority response within the same business day — the reply comes directly from application engineering.
Service to Forquilha is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and original spare parts supplied at factory-direct pricing. On-site technical visits to Forquilha are planned based on project criticality.
It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Forquilha projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.
