Technical solutions
For the industrial park of Araxá, the FBE series answers the services kinetic hydraulics cannot cover: transfer with stable flow under fluctuating pressure, dosing proportional to speed and high-viscosity fluids — the typical case of água de mina e lamas diluídas. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps. FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) is the operating window initially considered for Araxá — the final curve is finalized after piping-network analysis (head loss, geometric head, required vs. available NPSH). For the technical profile observed in Araxá, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. Araxá: recalque de água and barragens de rejeito. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Araxá: água de processo and lamas diluídas suggest materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. In Araxá, influence from the automotivo cluster translates into cutting fluids, hydraulic oils, paint-line water and process cooling — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. 100% of pumps bound for Araxá pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
Why FB Bombas
Araxá: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Araxá: high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Araxá: by affinity to the automotivo cluster, collective shutdowns (recess, industrial holidays) synchronize maintenance across regional plants — a variable that enters commercial planning. At state scale, Araxá belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state. The economic base of Araxá confirms the profile: industry accounted for 55% of municipal value added (IBGE, 2021), and 2023 GDP totaled R$ 8.8 billion — a scale that sustains recurring demand for process pumps, utilities and installed-fleet replacement. Working with água de processo and lamas diluídas in Araxá demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Araxá: special projects (skids, retrofit, mobile sets) are part of FB's portfolio, anchored in the already-normalized hydraulics of the FBCN/FBE series. Due to proximity to the automotivo cluster, Araxá shares a technical agenda with cutting fluids in machining, hydraulic oils in presses and treated water in paint booths — a direct path to series and materials selection. In Araxá, nióbio plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. In Araxá, series FBCN for recalque de água and barragens de rejeito — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Araxá among the 50 most populous cities in MG, maintains a relevant industrial base — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment.
Logistics & support
Araxá receives equipment within 24-48h via federal highways counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Araxá: 414 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Araxá: critical parts (seal, bearings, wear ring) can be kept on consignment at the plant to minimize replacement time. Federal highways BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 make up the access network to Araxá, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Araxá: technical service is organized as planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer — the model FB Bombas uses to ensure support without overloading operations. Before shipment to Araxá, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.
