Gear pump selection for Capelinha starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. 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. In Capelinha, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of óleos industriais and água industrial — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). For the technical profile observed in Capelinha, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Capelinha undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
Capelinha: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. In Capelinha, value added is dominated by services (44.7%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 1.1 billion — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Capelinha: high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Capelinha: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. For Capelinha, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces: this is the typical application set around the siderurgico cluster in which Capelinha sits.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Capelinha — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes — the standard catalog is only the starting point. For special applications, FB Bombas engineers custom solutions: changes in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Before manufacturing, every special project is validated by engineering.
Send flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity: with these four data points FB engineering calculates the right model, also validating available NPSH, operating regime and material compatibility. The service is free of charge for customers in Capelinha.
Yes, when the dimension designation matches. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), which requires pumps of the same designation, from any source of supply, to be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, baseplate and foundation bolt holes — in Capelinha plants this applies to the installed normalized fleet. FB Bombas supplies the complete pump, not loose parts: baseplate, piping and foundation stay, and a new FBCN goes in. Before supply, application engineering checks the duty point (Q×H), available NPSH and flange class — a matching designation alone does not guarantee hydraulic equivalence.
Service to Capelinha is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and original spare parts supplied at factory-direct pricing. On-site technical visits to Capelinha are planned based on project criticality.
Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Capelinha count on FB Bombas technical training, structured in modules: sizing and characteristic-curve reading, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Classes can happen at the customer plant or at the factory in Cabreúva/SP, in-person or hybrid format.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Capelinha and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.

Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Capelinha, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
