FB Bombas serves Novo Cruzeiro from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile. In Novo Cruzeiro, 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). Novo Cruzeiro sits 232 km from the steel cluster centered in Ipatinga, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. For Novo Cruzeiro, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — the FBCN centrifugal follows ASME B73.1, whose dimension designation is common to the entire installed normalized fleet, whoever the original manufacturer was. 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 Novo Cruzeiro. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in MG qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Novo Cruzeiro 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. Typical fluids in Novo Cruzeiro'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 pump-and-motor set shipped to Novo Cruzeiro undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Novo Cruzeiro, the baseline is austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. Novo Cruzeiro typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. What defines the FBE external gear pump in Novo Cruzeiro is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body.
Technically, Novo Cruzeiro shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. In Novo Cruzeiro, value added is dominated by services (39.6%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 417 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Demand in Novo Cruzeiro is characterized by high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Typical fluids handled in Novo Cruzeiro (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Typical use cases identified for Novo Cruzeiro: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades. The siderurgico cluster near Novo Cruzeiro 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 transit time to Novo Cruzeiro: 48-72h, with possible technical stop — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Novo Cruzeiro is BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, totaling 849 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Novo Cruzeiro occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes, provided the dimension designation coincides. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps — the FBCN occupies the standardised installation envelope defined by the norm, which does not depend on who built the pump running in Novo Cruzeiro plants. What is supplied is the complete pump: baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain. FB application engineering runs the dimensional gap analysis before supply, covering flow, head and required NPSH as well.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Novo Cruzeiro and all of Brazil.
During a plant shutdown in Novo Cruzeiro, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.
FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Novo Cruzeiro, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Novo Cruzeiro, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Novo Cruzeiro is handled by our regular road operator.
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.
