FBE Gear Pumps in Sete Quedas

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Sete Quedas. 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.

FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.

Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Sete Quedas, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

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 Sete Quedas is handled by our regular road operator.

Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Sete Quedas.

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.

Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Sete Quedas have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

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 Sete Quedas and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.

The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
