FBE Gear Pumps
FBE Gear Pumps in Ipu
Service to Ipu is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-116 (via BA/PI) (2222 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in CE qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Ipu 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. Ipu, 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. Ipu is served by the BR-116 (via BA/PI) axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-222 and BR-020 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. The industrial district cluster of Maracanau is 237 km from Ipu, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. Within IBGE mesoregion Noroeste Cearense, Ipu shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. In Ipu, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality).

Technical solutions
Ipu receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book. Ipu typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. In Ipu, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. For the industrial park of Ipu, the FBE series answers the services kinetic hydraulics cannot cover: transfer with stable flow under fluctuating pressure, dosing proportional to speed and high-viscosity fluids — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps.
Why FB Bombas
Technically, Ipu shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Demand in Ipu is characterized by high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Ipu has a services-oriented economy (36.8% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 677 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Ipu demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Ipu, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the distrito-industrial cluster, Ipu shares a technical agenda with diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Logistics & support
Logistics lead time to Ipu is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 2222 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Ipu via BR-116 (via BA/PI) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Ipu logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ipu
How is pump sizing performed?
How is pump sizing performed?
Application engineering starts from four variables — flow, differential pressure, temperature and viscosity — and refines with available NPSH, duty cycle and chemical compatibility. The study is free for customers in Ipu and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.
Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?
Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?
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 Ipu 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.
What types of pumps does FB Bombas manufacture?
What types of pumps does FB Bombas manufacture?
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.
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Ipu, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.
What is the balancing grade of FB pumps for critical projects in Ipu?
What is the balancing grade of FB pumps for critical projects in Ipu?
ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Ipu depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.
How does pump delivery work for Ipu, 2222 km from the factory?
How does pump delivery work for Ipu, 2222 km from the factory?
Shipment is by road via BR-116 (via BA/PI), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.
Are replacement parts available for customers in Ipu?
Are replacement parts available for customers in Ipu?
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.
Does FB Bombas manufacture custom pumps?
Does FB Bombas manufacture custom pumps?
It does. When a special application demands something beyond the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops the solution: modified construction materials, specific sealing arrangements, system-integrated heating, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Engineering reviews each special project as a step prior to manufacturing.

Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
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.
