Technical summary
FBCN centrifugal pumps (FB Bombas) in Poté, Minas Gerais: sized for local industry, flow up to 2,200 m³/h, API 610 and ASME B73.1 compliance. Cabreúva-SP at 827 km, typical critical-parts lead time: 72-96h.


FB Bombas pumps installed in Poté, Minas Gerais meet CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. In Poté, 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 API 610 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). Poté is served by the BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias axis and also by highways BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. Membership in the Vale do Mucuri mesoregion (IBGE) places Poté in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. Poté requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. Through 200-km proximity to the steel cluster of Ipatinga, Poté inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 827 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, FB Bombas reaches Poté with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

The FB model for Poté: 72-96h logistics lead time, with the option to accelerate via air modal or alternative routing in operational emergencies. In Poté, FBEI and FBCN 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. In Poté, influence from the siderurgico cluster translates into cooling water, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in furnaces — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. In Poté, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness.
In Poté, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. In Poté, siderurgico-cluster seasonality manifests as continuous operation with annual scheduled maintenance and occasional outages tied to production campaigns — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. In Poté, logistics carries relative weight in the final composition — planned projects usually consolidate volumes — a variable entering the decision between CIF/FOB freight, order consolidation and contractual delivery window. Poté: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces: this is the typical application set around the siderurgico cluster in which Poté sits. For Poté, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering.
The BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias corridor (827 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to Poté — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 broaden FB's transport flexibility to Poté — useful in tight-window PM campaigns or for cargo whose gauge requires routes with specific bridges/curves. The service structure for Poté is sized as technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel, with escalation to additional visits in cases of commissioning, troubleshooting or complex retrofit.

Regional service from Poté — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Poté with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
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 Poté.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Poté plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.

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 Poté have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Poté, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.
Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Poté. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.
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.
