Technical solutions
What defines the FBE external gear pump in Paraopeba 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 hidráulicos e óleo térmico. 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. 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. 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. 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 requirements met via engineered-to-order projects — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. In Paraopeba, FBEI and FBCN+FBOT 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 Paraopeba, 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) — 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). Before shipment to Paraopeba, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
Why FB Bombas
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. 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. The economic fabric of Paraopeba is diversified: services lead, but industry holds 17.8% of municipal value added (IBGE, 2021), over a 2023 GDP of R$ 1.1 billion — real demand for both process pumps and building utilities and sanitation. Paraopeba has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. 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.
Logistics & support
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.

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.
