Gear pumps for projects in Rio Verde, Goiás

Yes, when they are included in the purchase scope. The published services include bench performance testing with a scope defined for the project, and on-site start-up and commissioning based on the manual and site conditions. Procedure, test points, acceptance criteria, customer witnessing and reports are defined in the proposal before the supply for Rio Verde is contracted.

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 Rio Verde, confirm the conditions in the quotation.

Lead time to Rio Verde depends on the model, configuration and transport. Several FBE models are kept in stock; availability and expected dispatch for each item are confirmed in the quotation. State the destination and the date you need so that the proposal also defines freight and delivery responsibilities.

No: manual MTEC-03/00 states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1, not dimensional compliance with that standard. So, before a replacement in Rio Verde, interchangeability with the existing pump is checked on each model’s drawing, together with the duty point, materials and drive.

It depends on the series. The published limits are up to 260 °C for the FBCN, 350 °C for the FBOT, 340 °C for the FBEI and 140 °C for the FBME. For the FBE, the 2026 catalogue gives a range of 10 °C to 500 °C; the limit of each configuration depends on materials and sealing. These are series limits: they do not automatically apply to every model, nor do they necessarily occur together with the other maximums. State the start-up, operating and cleaning temperatures of the process in Rio Verde.

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 Rio Verde; 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.

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

It depends on the series. The FBE can have packing, a mechanical seal, a lip seal or a magnetic coupling; the standard seal is type 21, in ceramic, graphite and Viton, with an AISI 304 stainless-steel spring. The FBCN uses packing or a mechanical seal, the FBOT combines graphite packing as the first sealing stage with a mechanical seal immersed in the bearing-housing oil, and the FBEI accepts packing or a single, double or cartridge mechanical seal. State the fluid, concentration, temperature and pressure of the process in Rio Verde to define the arrangement.

The review for Rio Verde considers the fluid, flow, required pressure or head, temperature, viscosity and installation conditions. Provide what you already know and identify any equipment in use. The team checks the necessary data before confirming series, model, drive and materials.

The published grade is for the FBME: service manual MSERV-08/01 (item 12.2) specifies static and dynamic impeller balancing to grade G6.3. The manuals of the other series do not publish a grade; for them and for critical projects in Rio Verde, specify the required standard, grade and report in the purchase scope. Impeller balancing alone does not guarantee the vibration level of the installation.
