Technical summary
FBEI gear pumps (FB Bombas) in Nova Era, Minas Gerais: sized for local industry, viscous fluids up to 350°C, API 676 compliance and in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP at 579 km. Typical critical-parts lead time: 48-72h.


Typical fluids in Nova Era's industrial operations include óleos industriais and água industrial — a vector that determines whether the correct specification is the FBE/FBEI (gear) or FBCN/FBOT (centrifugal / thermal oil) series. The steel cluster of Joao Monlevade is 15 km from Nova Era, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. FB Bombas application engineering serves Nova Era with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). The road network BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116, with BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Nova Era. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Nova Era (MG) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Nova Era — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in MG qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Nova Era in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE (API 676) and FBCN (ASME B73.1) series and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Service to Nova Era is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias (579 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support.

For the industrial park of Nova Era, 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. In Nova Era, 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. In Nova Era, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. Before shipment to Nova Era, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
Technically, Nova Era shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. By IBGE's breakdown, Nova Era adds up a GDP of R$ 481 million (2023) with industrial share of 27% in value added (2021) — a market where FB serves from process circuits to water and HVAC infrastructure. Demand in Nova Era is characterized by low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Typical fluids handled in Nova Era (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. The siderurgico cluster near Nova Era brings applications such as blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Typical use cases identified for Nova Era: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades.
Logistics lead time to Nova Era is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 579 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Nova Era via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. For Nova Era, 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.

Three paths lead to a quote: the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 and the email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. With the application data in hand (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature), the technical team returns a proposal already sized for your scenario in Nova Era.
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.
Limits vary by series. FBE and FBEI: up to 350°C, provided a heating jacket and special sealing are used. FBOT: up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits. FBCN: up to 260°C, with materials and sealing suited to the service. Well-sized sealing and materials are a condition for safe operation in these ranges.
ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Nova Era depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.
Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Nova Era plants, regardless of which brand occupied the base, provided the designation coincides. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, so the new pump takes the position without touching piping or baseplate.
Manufacturing in Brazil since 1944, FB Bombas delivers shorter lead times — with no import dependency —, direct technical support from FB engineering, in-house manufactured replacement parts, local-currency pricing free of exchange rate exposure, and on-site service for projects in Nova Era and surrounding areas.
The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
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 Nova Era.
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. For details on your project in Nova Era, talk to our technical team.
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 Nova Era, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.
