Technical summary
In Salitre, 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 1919 km, 96h to 7 days logistics lead time.


Cabreúva-SP → Salitre (1919 km via BR-116 (via BA/PI)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book. For the Salitre, Ceará market, FB Bombas offers industrial pumps with certified hydraulic tests, ASME B73.1 (dimensional interchangeability) and a traceable Data Book per unit — a technical package that shortens the customer homologation cycle. In Salitre, Ceará, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). FB Bombas application engineering serves Salitre 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). FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Salitre with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance, with direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory. Only 430 km from the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Salitre benefits from logistics spillover and movement of technical professionals — FB Bombas has a service track record in the region. The óleos industriais and água industrial profile observed in Salitre maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS.

100% of pumps bound for Salitre pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Salitre, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. Salitre: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. What defines the FBE external gear pump in Salitre is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body.
The low fluid-complexity profile in Salitre (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. A GDP of R$ 222 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (24.5% of value added in 2021) places Salitre's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Salitre shows a medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). The fluid catalogue in Salitre (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Use cases in Salitre (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The distrito-industrial cluster around Salitre concentrates applications diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history.
For Salitre, 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. Cabreúva-SP → Salitre via BR-116 (via BA/PI) (1919 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For Salitre, FB dispatch is preceded by: hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run with curve points, G2.5 dynamic balancing and Data Book closure — all traceable by serial number.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Salitre — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Salitre projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.
Just use one of the channels: WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br or the website form. Describe the application — fluid, flow, pressure, temperature — and the technical team replies with a proposal sized for your conditions in Salitre.
Yes, we do. Supply for Salitre 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.
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 Salitre is handled by our regular road operator.
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Salitre, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Salitre, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Salitre. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.
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.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Salitre for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods) with preferential conditions for national industry. The commercial team provides the product FINAME code on the technical proposal for inclusion in the customer financial plan.
Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.
