Technical summary
In Icó, Ceará, FBCN covers local industry with ASME B73.1 normalized hydraulics — direct dimensional interchangeability with market references. Cabreúva-SP (2079 km), 96h to 7 days lead time.


Road access runs via BR-116 (via BA/PI), with branches through BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. Membership in the Centro-Sul Cearense mesoregion (IBGE) places Icó in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Icó (CE) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Icó — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. Only 282 km from the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Icó benefits from logistics spillover and movement of technical professionals — FB Bombas has a service track record in the region. FB Bombas application engineering serves Icó with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). CRCC Petrobras registration valid in CE qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Icó in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE (API 676) and FBCN (ASME B73.1) series and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Typical fluids in Icó'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. FB Bombas serves Icó from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-116 (via BA/PI) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.

For the FBCN centrifugal in Icó, correct selection comes from the circuit's flow × head pair: the right model is the one that places the operating point near BEP (best efficiency point), where efficiency and reliability go together. A pump oversized "to be safe" runs in internal recirculation — vibration, radial load and short seal life. For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Icó converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Icó, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. In Icó, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. Technical-and-commercial support for Icó is covered from Cabreúva-SP, with typical lead time for critical parts of 96h to 7 days via dedicated carrier.
The demand profile in Icó reflects high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand. Typical seasonality of the distrito-industrial cluster (variable seasonality depending on plant mix — individualized planning) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Icó. In Icó, value added is dominated by services (37.9%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 924 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Icó demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Icó, among the 50 most populous cities in CE, maintains a relevant industrial base, offers a continuous pipeline of technical opportunities — from retrofit to greenfield. Due to proximity to the distrito-industrial cluster, Icó shares a technical agenda with diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a direct path to series and materials selection. Typical use cases identified for Icó: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades.
The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Icó is BR-116 (via BA/PI), totaling 2079 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Beyond the main route, Icó is accessible via BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 — options that provide redundancy in case of blockages or restricted operating windows. Typical transit time to Icó: 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. Technical-service coverage for Icó involves technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip.

Regional service from Icó — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Icó with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.
Yes. The design of the FBE and FBCN lines favors direct access to wear-prone components — disassembly and inspection are done with conventional tools. The routine gets even simpler with detailed technical manuals and replacement parts supplied straight from the factory.
To receive a technical quote for industrial pumps in Icó, 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.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
Yes, we do. Supply for Icó 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.
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 Icó.
The portfolio covers four in-house series: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for low-pulsation services, FBCN (standardized centrifugal) for water and light fluids and FBOT (dedicated centrifugal) for thermal oil — plus complete fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 and NBR 16704.
Every FB pump leaves the factory with a warranty against manufacturing defects, under the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The condition is that installation, operation and maintenance respect the manual's parameters and the sizing defined by engineering. For details on your project in Icó, talk to our technical team.
They are. For each delivery to Icó, FB Bombas assembles the unit's complete technical Data Book, containing: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates — stainless steel, duplex or ductile cast iron, per spec —, ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve obtained on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. Full traceability happens through the serial number.
They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Icó eligible for the BNDES Finame lines — Industrial Working Capital, Modernization and Capital Goods —, which offer preferential conditions for national industry. The product's FINAME code is provided by the commercial team on the technical proposal, ready to compose the customer's financial plan.
