FBE Gear Pumps in Bom Repouso

Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Bom Repouso: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.

Yes, provided the dimension designation coincides. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps — the FBCN occupies the standardised installation envelope defined by the norm, which does not depend on who built the pump running in Bom Repouso plants. What is supplied is the complete pump: baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain. FB application engineering runs the dimensional gap analysis before supply, covering flow, head and required NPSH as well.

It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Bom Repouso. Across the duty ranges currently held by imported lines, the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series offer equivalent coverage, with better lead times by dispensing with imports, factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. On a normalized pump, the existing baseplate is preserved when the ASME B73.1 dimension designation matches — which the standard makes independent of the installed brand.

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 Bom Repouso projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.

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 Bom Repouso goes through our regular road operator.

It does. When a special application demands something beyond the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops the solution: modified construction materials, specific sealing arrangements, system-integrated heating, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Engineering reviews each special project as a step prior to manufacturing.

The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

The 138 km distance via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias shortens everything: more economical freight, faster delivery and easier on-site technical visits for critical projects. During maintenance shutdowns, proximity to Cabreúva/SP cuts the time between the call and the part on site.

Manufacturing in Brazil since 1944, FB Bombas delivers shorter lead times — with no import dependency —, direct technical support from FB engineering, in-house manufactured replacement parts, local-currency pricing free of exchange rate exposure, and on-site service for projects in Bom Repouso and surrounding areas.
