Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Caxambu, Minas Gerais for local industry — head up to 138 m, temperature up to 260°C. API 610, 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 API 610 (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 API 610 (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.

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 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. Material selection for óleos industriais and água industrial in Caxambu considers cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. 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. 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. Technically, Caxambu shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. 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.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Caxambu and all of Brazil.
Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Caxambu, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Caxambu is handled by our regular road operator.
Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Caxambu. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.
Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
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.
