Technical summary
In Icó, Ceará, FBEI (external gear) serves local industry with 12 sizes (1/8" to 6"), pressure up to 22 kgf/cm² and field-validated materials. Cabreúva-SP at 2079 km, 96h to 7 days logistics lead time.


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. Within IBGE mesoregion Centro-Sul Cearense, Icó shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. Icó, Ceará is territory where FB Bombas operates as a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer with 82 years of continuous operation. For the local industry industrial profile dominating the region, we offer the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series with CRCC Petrobras qualification, API 676 compliance and ASME B73.1 normalization (API 610 engineered-to-order projects) — basis for retrofit in plants with global manufacturers already installed. The industrial district cluster of Maracanau is 282 km from Icó, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. FB Bombas maintains in Icó the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 676 + ASME B73.1 (API 610 on engineered-to-order projects) — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. 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 Icó. For Icó, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — the FBCN centrifugal follows ASME B73.1, whose dimension designation is common to the entire installed normalized fleet, whoever the original manufacturer was. From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 2079 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI), FB Bombas reaches Icó with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

In viscous fluid services in Icó, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. In Icó, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of óleos industriais and água industrial — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). Icó: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Technical fit in Icó points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. Icó receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book.
Icó: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Icó: high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Icó has a services-oriented economy (37.9% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 924 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Icó: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils: this is the typical application set around the distrito-industrial cluster in which Icó sits. For Icó, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. Being among the 50 most populous cities in CE, maintains a relevant industrial base, Icó presents volume and application diversity that justify FB Bombas' structured service.
72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season: this is the typical delivery interval Cabreúva-SP → Icó, based on a consolidated road route and FB-qualified logistics operators. The BR-116 (via BA/PI) corridor (2079 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to Icó — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 broaden FB's transport flexibility to Icó — useful in tight-window PM campaigns or for cargo whose gauge requires routes with specific bridges/curves. The factory-to-Icó dispatch includes technical packaging (impact protection, moisture sealing), multilingual documentation (PT/EN/ES when required) and approved-carrier tracking.

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.

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.
