FBE Gear Pumps in Pires Ferreira

The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Pires Ferreira have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Pires Ferreira, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Pires Ferreira. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.

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. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Pires Ferreira 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.

Yes. FB Bombas serves Pires Ferreira and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.

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 Pires Ferreira is handled by our regular road operator.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Pires Ferreira with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.

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 Pires Ferreira 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.
