Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Cantanhede, Maranhão for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (2207 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


Cantanhede requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. In Cantanhede, Maranhão, 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). Road access runs via BR-135 (via Belém-Brasília BR-153), with branches through BR-135, BR-222 and BR-316 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Norte Maranhense, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. In Cantanhede, FB Bombas serves projects with in-house application engineering: system-curve analysis, NPSH balance (available vs required), series selection (FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI / FBFS) and API 682 sealing plan. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in MA qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Cantanhede 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. FB Bombas serves Cantanhede from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-135 (via Belém-Brasília BR-153) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.

What defines the FBE external gear pump in Cantanhede 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. In Cantanhede, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. Cantanhede 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. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Cantanhede undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
In Cantanhede, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Cantanhede, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. In Cantanhede, value added is dominated by services (28.7%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 233 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Cantanhede: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. For Cantanhede, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering.
For Cantanhede, 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 → Cantanhede via BR-135 (via Belém-Brasília BR-153) (2207 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For Cantanhede, 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.
FB engineers serve Cantanhede for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Cantanhede — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Cantanhede count on FB Bombas technical training, structured in modules: sizing and characteristic-curve reading, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Classes can happen at the customer plant or at the factory in Cabreúva/SP, in-person or hybrid format.
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.
FB Bombas' trajectory as an industrial pump manufacturer began in 1944 and adds up to over 82 years of continuous experience. Engineering, manufacturing and testing operate under one roof at the Cabreúva/SP factory — a guarantee of total quality control on every unit that reaches Cantanhede and the rest of Brazil.
Yes, when the dimension designation matches. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), which requires pumps of the same designation, from any source of supply, to be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, baseplate and foundation bolt holes — in Cantanhede plants this applies to the installed normalized fleet. FB Bombas supplies the complete pump, not loose parts: baseplate, piping and foundation stay, and a new FBCN goes in. Before supply, application engineering checks the duty point (Q×H), available NPSH and flange class — a matching designation alone does not guarantee hydraulic equivalence.
Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Cantanhede for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods), with preferential conditions for national industry. On the technical proposal, the commercial team includes the product's FINAME code to enter the customer's financial plan.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
Send flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity: with these four data points FB engineering calculates the right model, also validating available NPSH, operating regime and material compatibility. The service is free of charge for customers in Cantanhede.
FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Cantanhede projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.
Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
