Technical solutions
In viscous fluid services in Itabirito, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of óleos industriais e fluidos de processo. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. In Itabirito, 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. Typical applications mapped for Itabirito include transferência em linhas de produção and utilidades de planta — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For Itabirito, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.
Why FB Bombas
Itabirito: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Itabirito has a factory-floor economy: 74.2% of municipal value added is industrial (IBGE, 2021), over a 2023 GDP of R$ 7.2 billion. This profile concentrates demand on process pumps and maintenance contracts with fast parts replacement. Itabirito: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Working with óleos industriais e fluidos de processo and água industrial in Itabirito demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Itabirito, indústria de transformação plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. Due to proximity to the mineracao cluster, Itabirito shares a technical agenda with process-water booster, slurry pumping, pit dewatering and tailings dam services — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Logistics & support
For Itabirito, 24-48h via federal highways is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. Cabreúva-SP → Itabirito via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias (483 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For Itabirito, FB dispatch is preceded by: hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run with curve points, G2.5 dynamic balancing and Data Book closure — all traceable by serial number.

Frequently Asked Questions about Itabirito
Does FB Bombas serve cities neighboring Itabirito?
Does FB Bombas serve cities neighboring Itabirito?
Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Itabirito receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
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 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
How is pump sizing performed?
How is pump sizing performed?
Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Itabirito.
Does FB Bombas have a representative in Itabirito?
Does FB Bombas have a representative in Itabirito?
In Itabirito, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Itabirito are scheduled.
Does FB Bombas retrofit older pumps?
Does FB Bombas retrofit older pumps?
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
What type of mechanical seal do FB pumps use?
What type of mechanical seal do FB pumps use?
There is no single configuration — engineering selects the mechanical seal based on the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. The range includes single seals, double seals in tandem or back-to-back arrangement, cartridge seals and packing glands in specific applications. When the fluid is hazardous, the recommendation is a double seal with barrier.
