Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Paraopeba, Minas Gerais for siderurgia — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (531 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


Paraopeba requires pumping of óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Paraopeba, Minas Gerais with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 610 / API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers) and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. Only 80 km from the refining cluster of Betim, Paraopeba benefits from logistics spillover and movement of technical professionals — FB Bombas has a service track record in the region.

In Paraopeba, FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 138 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — this range covers most of the Q×H diagram operated in the field; off-envelope points are handled with custom selection (trimmed impeller, larger motor, double-suction when applicable). In Paraopeba, the sealing strategy starts at dual cartridge mechanical seal (API 682 Plan 53A/53B) for hazardous or high-temperature fluids — combined with API 682 plan selection (Plan 11/13/52/53/62) and specific commissioning care. In Paraopeba, influence from the refino cluster translates into crude oil, derivatives, high temperature (up to 260°C in FBCN, 350°C in FBOT) and API 610 qualification — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. In Paraopeba, lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação, resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. In Paraopeba, FBEI and FBCN+FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. 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. Before shipment to Paraopeba, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
Fluid-roster complexity in Paraopeba is medium — moderate fluid roster — concentration in a few main technical categories. The demand profile in Paraopeba reflects low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume. Paraopeba has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. Typical seasonality of the refino cluster (scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Paraopeba. Economically, delivery to Paraopeba brings balanced logistics — freight is a contained fraction of equipment cost. The fluid catalogue in Paraopeba (óleos lubrificantes de laminação, água de processo and óleo térmico) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. The refino cluster around Paraopeba concentrates applications crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. For Paraopeba, special solutions include ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit with flange and footprint interchangeability, modular skids with integrated automation and mobile sets for decommissioning campaigns. Paraopeba shares an industrial axis with nearby municipalities — a setting that enables structured supply and scheduled regional service. siderurgia plants in Paraopeba sustain a continuous pipeline of technical demand — from scheduled replacement to ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit replacing imported equipment. Use cases in Paraopeba (series FBEI for lubrificação de cadeiras de laminação and series FBCN+FBOT for resfriamento de lingotamento and aquecimento de processo) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region.
Paraopeba receives equipment within 24-48h via federal highways counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Paraopeba: transport of large skids and pump-motor sets is executed with platform trailers and indivisible-cargo logistics when applicable. Federal highways BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 make up the access network to Paraopeba, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Paraopeba: technical service is organized as planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer — the model FB Bombas uses to ensure support without overloading operations. Cabreúva-SP to Paraopeba: 531 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Before shipment to Paraopeba, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Regional service from Paraopeba — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
FB Bombas manufactures three 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.
Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
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.
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Paraopeba, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Paraopeba, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
