Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Lagoa Santa, Minas Gerais), FB application engineering recommends FBEI as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 48-72h lead time.


Service to Lagoa Santa is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias (528 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support. In Lagoa Santa, 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 ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). In Lagoa Santa, FB Bombas serves projects with in-house application engineering: system-curve analysis, NPSH balance (available vs required), series selection (FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI / FBFS) and API 682 sealing plan. FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Lagoa Santa with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance, with direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory. The IBGE classification places Lagoa Santa in the Metropolitana de Belo Horizonte mesoregion — an area whose industrial profile directly influences demand for rotating equipment. FB Bombas maintains in Lagoa Santa the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 676 + ASME B73.1 (API 610 on engineered-to-order projects) — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. The fluid roster in Lagoa Santa (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands attention to viscosity, operating temperature and chemical compatibility — variables that FB application engineering uses to recommend the proper series.

The pump-and-motor set shipped to Lagoa Santa undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. For the technical profile observed in Lagoa Santa, 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. Lagoa Santa: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. For the industrial park of Lagoa Santa, the FBE series answers the services kinetic hydraulics cannot cover: transfer with stable flow under fluctuating pressure, dosing proportional to speed and high-viscosity fluids — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps.
Technically, Lagoa Santa shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Demand in Lagoa Santa is characterized by medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. By IBGE's breakdown, Lagoa Santa adds up a GDP of R$ 2.8 billion (2023) with industrial share of 24.7% in value added (2021) — a market where FB serves from process circuits to water and HVAC infrastructure. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Lagoa Santa demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the automotivo cluster, Lagoa Santa shares a technical agenda with cutting fluids in machining, hydraulic oils in presses and treated water in paint booths — a direct path to series and materials selection. In Lagoa Santa, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand.
For Lagoa Santa, 24-48h via federal highways is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. Cabreúva-SP → Lagoa Santa via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias (528 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For Lagoa Santa, 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.

Yes. Existing installations can undergo retrofit with FB Bombas — the scope covers seal upgrades, swapping worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance gains. A technical report on the current installation serves as the basis for the assessment.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Lagoa Santa plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.
Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.
Send the application data through the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br: fluid (name and viscosity at operating temperature), target flow in m³/h, discharge head in m, available NPSH, operating temperature and regime — continuous or intermittent.

Four families are manufactured in Cabreúva/SP: external gear FBE and internal gear FBEI for viscous fluids, standardized centrifugal FBCN for low-viscosity liquids and FBOT for thermal oil circuits up to 350 °C. Fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 complete the line.
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 Lagoa Santa 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.
