Technical solutions
Gear pump selection for Codó starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of barbotina e água. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid. FBOT: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Codó, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. Typical applications mapped for Codó include alimentação de prensas — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For barbotina and água, the materials recommendation in Codó converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Lead time for critical parts to Codó is typically 96h to 7 days — a function of distance (2126 km) and the available road modal. Codó receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book.
Why FB Bombas
Codó: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. At state scale, Codó ranks among the 10 largest cities in the state at relevant industrial scale. IBGE figures size the local market: GDP of R$ 1.8 billion in 2023, with 32.9% of value added coming from industry (2021) — in Codó, pumping is a production input, not an accessory. Codó: very high industrial concentration — territory for multi-customer technical-visit campaigns — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Working with barbotina and água in Codó demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Codó among the 10 most populous cities in MA, is a regional benchmark of economic activity — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment. In Codó, cerâmica plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. In Codó, series FBOT for alimentação de prensas — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Codó: special projects (skids, retrofit, mobile sets) are part of FB's portfolio, anchored in the already-normalized hydraulics of the FBCN/FBE series.
Logistics & support
72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season: this is the typical delivery interval Cabreúva-SP → Codó, based on a consolidated road route and FB-qualified logistics operators. The service structure for Codó is sized as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip, with escalation to additional visits in cases of commissioning, troubleshooting or complex retrofit. The BR-135 (via Belém-Brasília BR-153) corridor (2126 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to Codó — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. BR-135, BR-222 and BR-316 broaden FB's transport flexibility to Codó — useful in tight-window PM campaigns or for cargo whose gauge requires routes with specific bridges/curves. The factory-to-Codó dispatch includes technical packaging (impact protection, moisture sealing), multilingual documentation (PT/EN/ES when required) and approved-carrier tracking.

Frequently Asked Questions about Codó
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
Limits vary by series. FBE and FBEI: up to 350°C, provided a heating jacket and special sealing are used. FBOT: up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits. FBCN: up to 260°C, with materials and sealing suited to the service. Well-sized sealing and materials are a condition for safe operation in these ranges.
Does FB Bombas have a representative in Codó?
Does FB Bombas have a representative in Codó?
In Codó, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Codó are scheduled.
How does pump delivery work for Codó, 2126 km from the factory?
How does pump delivery work for Codó, 2126 km from the factory?
Shipment is by road via BR-135 (via Belém-Brasília BR-153), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.
Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
Are FB pumps easy to maintain?
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.
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
Yes. For stationary fire protection systems, FB Bombas produces pumps compliant with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and with ABNT's NBR 16704 — covering building and industrial projects that demand these certifications.
How is pump sizing performed?
How is pump sizing performed?
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 Codó.
What types of pumps does FB Bombas manufacture?
What types of pumps does FB Bombas manufacture?
Four families are manufactured in Cabreúva/SP: external gear FBE and internal gear FBEI for viscous fluids, standardized centrifugal FBCN for low-viscosity liquids and FBOT for thermal oil circuits up to 350 °C. Fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 complete the line.
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Codó, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.
What is the delivery lead time for pumps to Codó?
What is the delivery lead time for pumps to Codó?
It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to Codó goes through our regular road operator.
What is the advantage of buying from a national manufacturer like FB Bombas?
What is the advantage of buying from a national manufacturer like FB Bombas?
Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Codó and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
