Gear pump selection for Brumadinho starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos industriais e fluidos de processo. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid. Brumadinho: transferência em linhas de produção and utilidades de planta. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Brumadinho: óleos industriais e fluidos de processo and água industrial suggest materials such as cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. In Brumadinho, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to replacing an installed pump carrying the same ASME B73.1 dimensional designation. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Brumadinho undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
Technically, Brumadinho shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. In Brumadinho, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. Brumadinho has a factory-floor economy: 67.6% of municipal value added is industrial (IBGE, 2021), over a 2023 GDP of R$ 2.8 billion. This profile concentrates demand on process pumps and maintenance contracts with fast parts replacement. Typical fluids handled in Brumadinho (óleos industriais e fluidos de processo and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. The refino cluster near Brumadinho brings applications such as crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Typical use cases identified for Brumadinho: series FBEI for transferência em linhas de produção and series FBCN for utilidades de planta. indústria de transformação operations in Brumadinho demand continuous pumping of process fluids, with preventive-maintenance windows aligned to plant scheduled outages.
Logistics lead time to Brumadinho is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 464 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Brumadinho via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Alternative routing to Brumadinho can use BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The factory-to-Brumadinho logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Yes. For projects in Brumadinho, on-site technical visits by application engineers can be scheduled for process data collection, diagnosis of existing installations and commissioning support. Geographic proximity makes this operation agile and recurring.
Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Brumadinho plants, regardless of which brand occupied the base, provided the designation coincides. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, so the new pump takes the position without touching piping or baseplate.
Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Brumadinho with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
When there is a plant shutdown in Brumadinho, FB Bombas triggers an emergency flow dedicated to critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings): the order gets pre-invoicing, dispatch is prioritized and the modal can change — express road or air, decided by distance and criticality. The region defines the typical lead time, with a window negotiable for each case. For those with an installed base and scheduled PM, there is the option of consigning part of the stock at the plant.
Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.
Send the application data through the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br: fluid (name and viscosity at operating temperature), target flow in m³/h, discharge head in m, available NPSH, operating temperature and regime — continuous or intermittent. After reviewing the briefing, application engineering returns a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time for your project in Brumadinho.
Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Brumadinho: 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.
Service to Brumadinho is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory.
