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, API 610 (heavy-duty centrifugal), 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.

In Forquilha, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. Forquilha: óleos industriais and água industrial suggest materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. Forquilha: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. 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. In Forquilha, 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. 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.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Forquilha is handled by our regular road operator.
FB Bombas manufactures three 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 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 Forquilha.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Forquilha plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Forquilha comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
