In viscous fluid services in Ipaumirim, 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. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Ipaumirim, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. In Ipaumirim, 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). The pump-and-motor set shipped to Ipaumirim undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
Ipaumirim: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Ipaumirim has a services-oriented economy (34.7% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 187 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Ipaumirim: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. In Ipaumirim, óleos industriais and água industrial form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). In Ipaumirim, near a distrito-industrial cluster, applications such as diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. Ipaumirim shows cases like series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration.
Typical transit time to Ipaumirim: 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Ipaumirim is BR-116 (via BA/PI), totaling 2046 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Ipaumirim occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Ipaumirim — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
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 ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
There is. Full production in Cabreúva/SP guarantees factory replacement parts for all four series — planned shutdowns get short lead times and emergencies receive priority handling, which protects the total cost of ownership of the equipment installed in Ipaumirim.
Contact can be made via WhatsApp at +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br or through the form on our website. Technical response is prioritized on the same business day, with direct reply from the application engineering team.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Ipaumirim plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.
When there is a plant shutdown in Ipaumirim, FB Bombas triggers an emergency flow dedicated to critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings): the order gets pre-invoicing, dispatch is prioritized and the modal can change — express road or air, decided by distance and criticality. The region defines the typical lead time, with a window negotiable for each case. For those with an installed base and scheduled PM, there is the option of consigning part of the stock at the plant.
In Ipaumirim, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Ipaumirim are scheduled.
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.
Yes. On pumps installed in Ipaumirim, FB Bombas application engineering applies ISO 10816 (velocity RMS in mm/s) to diagnose misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation. The scope covers baseline captured at startup, spectral comparison throughout PM campaigns and recommendation of interventions — re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment — before the machine reaches the standard's zone D.
