Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Caxambu, Minas Gerais for local industry — head up to 135 m, temperature up to 260°C. ASME B73.1, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (270 km).


For pumping projects in Caxambu, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316) and on-site commissioning support. In Caxambu, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). Caxambu is served by the BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias axis and also by highways BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. For projects in Caxambu that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. In Caxambu, Minas Gerais, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). Through 105-km proximity to the steel cluster of Volta Redonda, Caxambu inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. FB Bombas serves Caxambu from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.

For water, condensate and process fluids in Caxambu, the FBCN adds two maintenance advantages: back-pull-out construction, which frees the rotating assembly without dismantling piping, and dimensional interchangeability with the international process-pump standard — direct retrofit on the existing baseplate. For the technical profile observed in Caxambu, 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. In Caxambu, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. For Caxambu (270 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 24-48h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime.
Demand in Caxambu is characterized by medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. A GDP of R$ 465 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (61.3% of value added in 2021) places Caxambu's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Observed seasonal pattern: continuous operation with annual scheduled maintenance and occasional outages tied to production campaigns. Caxambu follows the same rhythm as the nearby siderurgico cluster. In Caxambu, near a siderurgico cluster, applications such as blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. In Caxambu, óleos industriais and água industrial form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). Caxambu shows cases like series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration.
270 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Caxambu via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Logistics lead time to Caxambu is 12-24h via direct road modal — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The technical-service model in Caxambu is structured as in-person technical visits with rapid mobilization — Cabreúva → customer route in a few hours.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Caxambu — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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.
Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Caxambu, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Caxambu comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Caxambu. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.
Yes. For stationary fire protection systems, FB Bombas produces pumps compliant with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and with ABNT's NBR 16704 — covering building and industrial projects that demand these certifications.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Caxambu plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.
