Technical solutions
In utilities and continuous process in Paraopeba, the standardized centrifugal standardizes the fleet: 53 models with bench-tested curves cover the flow × head grid, and the same construction philosophy simplifies spares inventory across sizes — fewer critical items, more availability. In Paraopeba, lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação, resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) is the operating window initially considered for Paraopeba — the final curve is finalized after piping-network analysis (head loss, geometric head, required vs. available NPSH). Paraopeba: óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico suggest materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. For the technical profile observed in Paraopeba, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN+FBOT as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. Recommended sealing for the operation profile in Paraopeba is dual cartridge mechanical seal (API 682 Plan 53A/53B) for hazardous or high-temperature fluids — a choice that affects MTBF and maintenance procedure. Lead time for critical parts to Paraopeba is typically 48-72h — a function of distance (531 km) and the available road modal.
Why FB Bombas
Paraopeba: low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. By IBGE's breakdown, Paraopeba adds up a GDP of R$ 1.1 billion (2023) with industrial share of 17.8% in value added (2021) — a market where FB serves from process circuits to water and HVAC infrastructure. At state scale, Paraopeba has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale. Paraopeba: by affinity to the refino cluster, scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain — a variable that enters commercial planning. Paraopeba: medium fluid complexity, moderate fluid roster — concentration in a few main technical categories. In Paraopeba, siderurgia plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. Working with óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico in Paraopeba demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the refino cluster, Paraopeba shares a technical agenda with crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a direct path to series and materials selection. In Paraopeba, series FBEI for lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação and series FBCN+FBOT for resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Municipalities adjacent to Paraopeba have relevant industrial activity, and FB Bombas typically covers multiple plants of that region in a single scheduled technical visit. In Paraopeba, fire-pump sets (electric, diesel or electric+diesel) follow NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 — supplied through FBFS.
Logistics & support
Cabreúva-SP → Paraopeba via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias (531 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. The BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Paraopeba — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. For Paraopeba, 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. For Paraopeba, 24-48h via federal highways is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. In Paraopeba, large sets arrive via lowboy or platform trailers with special transit permit — operation coordinated by FB logistics engineering. For Paraopeba, FB service follows the planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries.

How do I contact FB Bombas’ technical team?
You can reach us on WhatsApp at +55 11 97287-4837, write to comercial@fbbombas.com.br or fill in the website form. Technical requests receive prioritized feedback within the same business day, coming straight from application engineering.
What types of pumps does FB Bombas manufacture?
What types of pumps does FB Bombas manufacture?
FB Bombas manufactures four major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?
Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?
Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Paraopeba have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
Does FB Bombas manufacture custom pumps?
Does FB Bombas manufacture custom pumps?
Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
Does FB Bombas have a representative in Paraopeba?
Does FB Bombas have a representative in Paraopeba?
Who serves Paraopeba is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation returned within 3-5 business days and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to Paraopeba are added to the plan.
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in Paraopeba?
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in Paraopeba?
It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Paraopeba. Across the duty ranges currently held by imported lines, the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series offer equivalent coverage, with better lead times by dispensing with imports, factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. On a normalized pump, the existing baseplate is preserved when the ASME B73.1 dimension designation matches — which the standard makes independent of the installed brand.
What certifications does FB Bombas hold?
What certifications does FB Bombas hold?
Four pillars: a current Petrobras CRCC registration for Oil & Gas; API 676 (positive displacement) on the FBE series; ASME B73.1 (process centrifugals) on the FBCN series; and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 compliance for stationary fire pumps.
What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?
What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?
Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.
