FBE Gear Pumps in Matões do Norte

Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

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 Matões do Norte is handled by our regular road operator.

Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Matões do Norte. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Matões do Norte, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Matões do Norte with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Matões do Norte. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.

The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Matões do Norte with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.

FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Matões do Norte.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Matões do Norte, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.

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.
