Technical solutions

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.

Frequently Asked Questions about Brumadinho

Which FB pumps serve mining operations in Brumadinho?

The FBCN series is recommended for mine water pumping, beneficiation plant feeding and auxiliary systems. Materials are selected according to water characteristics (abrasiveness, pH) and flows/pressures are sized by factory engineering based on project elevations and distances.

How do I contact FB Bombas’ technical team?

You can reach us on WhatsApp at +55 11 97287-4837, write to comercial@fbbombas.com.br or fill in the website form. Technical requests receive prioritized feedback within the same business day, coming straight from application engineering.

Does FB Bombas perform on-site technical visits in Brumadinho?

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.

Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?

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.

Does FB Bombas serve cities neighboring Brumadinho?

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.

What is the emergency spare-parts lead time to Brumadinho?

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.

What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?

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.
