FBE Gear Pumps
FBE Gear Pumps in Curvelo
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. For the dominant siderurgia sector in Curvelo, FB Bombas offers the FBOT series — FBOT pumps for industrial heating systems in steel mills, thermal oil transfer in heat treatment processes. Typical specification: Temperature up to 350°C, Special seal for hot oil, High durability. For projects in Curvelo 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. FB Bombas application engineering owns technical specification in Curvelo — from customer data sheet to the final Data Book delivered with the pump, through application review, FAT on the hydraulic bench and on-site SAT support. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Curvelo, Minas Gerais with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 610 / API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers) and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. The refining cluster of Betim is 137 km from Curvelo, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. Within IBGE mesoregion Central Mineira, Curvelo shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. Logistically, the city connects to Cabreúva-SP via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, complemented by alternatives BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 — a network that supports technical service within tight operational windows. Industrial plants in Curvelo rely on FB Bombas spares held in scheduled stock: semi-open and open impellers, wear rings in various materials, dual cartridge seals API 682 Plan 53 and SKF/FAG bearings per the original spec. Curvelo requires pumping of óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Technical solutions
The pump-and-motor set shipped to Curvelo undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. 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, lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação, resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. 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). In Curvelo, influence from the refino cluster translates into crude oil, derivatives, high temperature (up to 260°C in FBCN, 350°C in FBOT) and API 610 qualification — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. In Curvelo, the sealing strategy starts at dual cartridge mechanical seal (API 682 Plan 53A/53B) for hazardous or high-temperature fluids — combined with API 682 plan selection (Plan 11/13/52/53/62) and specific commissioning care. The applicable operating envelope spans FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 138 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — sufficient for most industrial applications identified in Curvelo.
Why FB Bombas
Technically, Curvelo shows medium complexity in its fluid mix — moderate fluid roster — concentration in a few main technical categories. Demand in Curvelo is characterized by high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Logistics-commercial aspect: balanced logistics — freight is a contained fraction of equipment cost. Curvelo: belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state, a structural variable in the commercial offer. Observed seasonal pattern: scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain. Curvelo follows the same rhythm as the nearby refino cluster. Curvelo: óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. The FBFS line serves Curvelo with fire-protection systems compliant with NFPA 20, NBR 16704 and NBR 10897, in electric, diesel and hybrid configurations. Curvelo has siderurgia as its main industrial-pump application front — from primary transfer to internal circulation in process equipment. crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives: this is the typical application set around the refino cluster in which Curvelo sits. For Curvelo, series FBEI for lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação and series FBCN+FBOT for resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. Being among the 50 most populous cities in MG, maintains a relevant industrial base, Curvelo presents volume and application diversity that justify FB Bombas' structured service.
Logistics & support
Logistics lead time to Curvelo is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. Consignment stock of critical items is a common approach in Curvelo, especially for sets running 24/7 or with concentrated PM windows. 579 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Curvelo via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Alternative routing to Curvelo can use BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The technical-service model in Curvelo is structured as planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer. The factory-to-Curvelo logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Frequently Asked Questions about Curvelo
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
Service to Curvelo is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory — no intermediaries, no resellers. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, technical quotes returned within 24h and original spare parts supplied without distributor markup. On-site technical visits to Curvelo are planned based on project criticality.
Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
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 Curvelo, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Curvelo plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Curvelo, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
