Based in Cabreúva-SP at 579 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, FB Bombas delivers to Curvelo industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

Technical solutions
For Curvelo (579 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 48-72h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime. For Curvelo, FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) is a starting specification — fine-tuning happens with the actual system curve (friction, available NPSH, headloss). Curvelo: lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação, resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Curvelo typically calls for FBEI and FBCN+FBOT — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. In Curvelo, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). For sealing in Curvelo, dual cartridge mechanical seal (API 682 Plan 53A/53B) for hazardous or high-temperature fluids is a defensible starting point; final plan approval involves risk analysis of the specific fluid. FBCN sizing for the Curvelo circuit checks three points on the curve: the operating point (near BEP), available NPSH with margin over required — critical with hot fluid or suction lift — and end-of-curve power, which protects the motor against overload in off-design operation.
Why FB Bombas
In Curvelo, high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. In Curvelo, refino-cluster seasonality manifests as scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. With a GDP of R$ 2.7 billion (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 21.6% of value added (2021), Curvelo combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. Curvelo belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state — an input that defines commercial priority and relationship type (one-shot, annual program, master agreement). In Curvelo, the medium complexity index in the fluid mix sets moderate fluid roster — concentration in a few main technical categories — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Curvelo, siderurgia accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. In Curvelo, óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). In Curvelo, near a refino cluster, applications such as crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. For Curvelo, the FBFS line offers a complete fire-protection package: main pump, jockey, control panel NFPA 20 and diesel fuel tank — scope per NFPA 20. Curvelo shows cases like series FBEI for lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação and series FBCN+FBOT for resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration. Curvelo, among the 50 most populous cities in MG, maintains a relevant industrial base, sustains a predictable B2B demand chain — an ideal profile for scheduled supply and multi-year replacement contracts.
