FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Mariana

The FBCN series is recommended for mine water pumping, beneficiation plant feeding and auxiliary systems. Materials are selected according to water characteristics (abrasiveness, pH) and flows/pressures are sized by factory engineering based on project elevations and distances.

Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Mariana, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.

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.

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 Mariana, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.

Since 1944 — over 82 years of continuous experience manufacturing industrial pumps. In Cabreúva/SP, the factory brings engineering, manufacturing and testing together under one roof, which assures total quality control on each unit shipped to Mariana and all across Brazil.

A technical quote for Mariana starts with the application briefing, sent via website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. Required items: fluid name with viscosity at operating temperature, target flow (m³/h), discharge head (m), available NPSH, operating temperature and whether the regime is continuous or intermittent. Once the analysis is complete, application engineering replies bringing a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.

It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.

Every FB pump leaves the factory with a warranty against manufacturing defects, under the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The condition is that installation, operation and maintenance respect the manual's parameters and the sizing defined by engineering.

Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Mariana, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to Mariana goes through our regular road operator.
