FBE Gear Pumps in Guiratinga

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

Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.

During a plant shutdown in Guiratinga, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.

Yes. On the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is carried out: hydraulic test with characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. The SAT (Site Acceptance Test) on Guiratinga projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.

They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, Guiratinga plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve achieve dimensional retrofit on already-installed baseplates: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, only the rotating set is exchanged — piping and baseplate stay intact.

Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Guiratinga, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, fast spare parts and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In retrofits, dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates comes from ASME B73.1 normalization.

Four pillars: a current Petrobras CRCC registration for Oil & Gas; API 676 (positive displacement) on the FBE series; ASME B73.1 (process centrifugals) on the FBCN series; and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 compliance for stationary fire pumps.

Yes, we do. Supply for Guiratinga ships directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP and includes engineering support, spare parts for all four series and free sizing — critical projects may receive an on-site technical visit.

The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Guiratinga and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

FB Bombas manufactures four major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
