Gear pumps for projects in Crixás, Goiás

The FBCN and FBME centrifugal pumps. The manuals of both series list mining among their applications, for clean or turbid liquids; the multistage FBME reaches 300 m of head within the series range, and the standardized FBCN reaches a flow rate of 2,200 m³/h. For fluids with suspended solids, the FBCN manual calls for consulting FB. Describe the process stage in Crixás, the fluid, the solids concentration and the flow and head duty point so that engineering can confirm the model; each model has its own limits in the manual tables.

Send the application in Crixás, fluid, temperature and available flow, pressure or head data. For replacement, add the equipment model, identification and drawing. Also state the destination and purchase documentation requirements. The team confirms any additional data needed and the technical and commercial proposal scope.

It depends on the series. Installation and operation instructions are in FBEI manual MAN001-10 and in FBME service manual MSERV-08/01, which also covers maintenance and recommends FB-authorized supervision during installation. The FBE (MTEC-01/01), FBCN (MTEC-03/00) and FBOT (MTEC-16/00) technical manuals provide technical data, sectional drawings, parts lists and dimensions; for installing and maintaining these series, the published services include on-site start-up and commissioning and maintenance contracts. The manuals are on the website’s technical manuals page (PDFs in Portuguese), and MSERV-08/01 is on the FBME series page. For the operation in Crixás, identify the series and model from the pump’s nameplate.

With the pump and part identification. State the pump model and identification, the part as shown in the parts list of the series manual, the urgency and the destination in Crixás; the team checks availability and confirms service and transport options. There is no published universal parts lead time or automatic guarantee of consignment stock. To reduce downtime, the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals include the list of spare parts for two years of operation.

Warranty conditions are defined in the proposal and contract and vary with the series, operating conditions and agreement. The manuals state what can void it. Under the FBEI manual (MAN001-10), operating with a different fluid or outside the pump’s data sheets and certified documents without FB’s written authorization voids the warranty. Under the FBME service manual (MSERV-08/01), after parts are replaced, the operating and performance warranty applies only with original parts and FB’s consent. For the project in Crixás, confirm the conditions in the quotation.

Following the BNDES steps, first check whether the equipment appears on the list of items eligible for BNDES Finame financing, in the CFI Catalog on the bank’s website; for that check, ask the sales team for the identification of the model quoted for Crixás. Then apply for financing through an accredited financial agent, such as a commercial bank, development bank, development agency or credit union. The agent reviews the request and, if it approves the operation, forwards it to BNDES, which evaluates the request and authorizes the financing. Being a Brazilian manufacturer does not, on its own, show that the equipment is accredited.

It depends on the model and the duty point; there is no single efficiency figure for the brand. The FBCN and FBME characteristic curves show the efficiency of each model and, for stainless-steel impellers with passages up to 15 mm, the FBCN manual deducts 2 or 3 points from the curve efficiency (Table 4). For the project in Crixás, compare the absorbed power at the process flow, head and fluid, also considering drive, control and operating duty.

When the Data Book is part of the purchase scope. State which drawings, manuals, certificates and test reports are required for Crixás; the proposal confirms the documents applicable to the supplied series and configuration. The same Data Book is not assumed for every pump.

Yes, in the five Custom Solutions categories: custom complete motor-pump assembly, mobile industrial kit, industrial pump skid, retrofit with a new FB pump in place of the installed one, and special materials projects. The scope of each project is defined with engineering before manufacture in Cabreúva, Brazil.

FB Bombas began manufacturing industrial pumps in 1944. Its current factory is in Cabreúva, Brazil. The Our History page presents the company’s development; each series’ technical documentation supports equipment evaluation for your project in Crixás.
