What defines the FBE external gear pump in Candeias is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body. For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Candeias converges on cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. In Candeias, 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. 100% of pumps bound for Candeias pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
Candeias: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Candeias has a services-oriented economy (35.7% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 443 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. The demand profile in Candeias reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Candeias demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the siderurgico cluster, Candeias shares a technical agenda with blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces — a direct path to series and materials selection. In Candeias, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand.
Logistics lead time to Candeias is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 341 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Candeias via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Candeias logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Regional service from Candeias — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes — Candeias is part of FB Bombas’ direct service area. Supply, engineering support and spare parts ship from the factory in Cabreúva/SP; sizing is done at no cost and, when the project is critical, the team evaluates an on-site technical visit.
Three paths lead to a quote: the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 and the email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. With the application data in hand (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature), the technical team returns a proposal already sized for your scenario in Candeias.
FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Candeias.
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.
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 Candeias and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Candeias, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Yes. On pumps installed in Candeias, FB Bombas application engineering applies ISO 10816 (velocity RMS in mm/s) to diagnose misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation. The scope covers baseline captured at startup, spectral comparison throughout PM campaigns and recommendation of interventions — re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment — before the machine reaches the standard's zone D.
It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Candeias projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.
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.
Yes. For projects in Candeias, 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.
