Technical solutions
Gear pump selection for Igaratinga starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos industriais e fluidos de processo. 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 Igaratinga, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of óleos industriais e fluidos de processo and água industrial — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). In Igaratinga, FBEI and FBCN cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to replacing an installed pump carrying the same ASME B73.1 dimensional designation. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Igaratinga undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
Why FB Bombas
Igaratinga: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Igaratinga: low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Igaratinga has a factory-floor economy: 42.3% of municipal value added is industrial (IBGE, 2021), over a 2023 GDP of R$ 832 million. This profile concentrates demand on process pumps and maintenance contracts with fast parts replacement. Igaratinga: óleos industriais e fluidos de processo and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. 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 Igaratinga sits. Igaratinga has indústria de transformação as its main industrial-pump application front — from primary transfer to internal circulation in process equipment.
Logistics & support
Typical transit time to Igaratinga: 24-48h via federal highways — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Igaratinga is BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, totaling 450 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Igaratinga occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Frequently Asked Questions about Igaratinga
What is the balancing grade of FB pumps for critical projects in Igaratinga?
What is the balancing grade of FB pumps for critical projects in Igaratinga?
FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Igaratinga projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.
Does FB Bombas perform on-site technical visits in Igaratinga?
Does FB Bombas perform on-site technical visits in Igaratinga?
Yes. For projects in Igaratinga, on-site technical visits by application engineers can be scheduled for process data collection, diagnosis of existing installations and commissioning support. Geographic proximity makes this operation agile and recurring.
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
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.
How is pump sizing performed?
How is pump sizing performed?
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 Igaratinga.
Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?
Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?
It is. From the data of the pump in operation (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature), FB Bombas' application engineering proposes a technical equivalence — dimensional or functional — with one of our series. This replacement has already been done by many clients in Igaratinga, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
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 Igaratinga, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?
What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?
The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
