FBE Gear Pumps in Prata

Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Prata, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.

Since 1944 — over 82 years of continuous experience manufacturing industrial pumps. In Cabreúva/SP, the factory brings engineering, manufacturing and testing together under one roof, which assures total quality control on each unit shipped to Prata and all across Brazil.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Prata, 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.

Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Prata, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.

Yes. For projects in Prata, on-site technical visits by application engineers can be scheduled for process data collection, diagnosis of existing installations and commissioning support. Geographic proximity makes this operation agile and recurring.

The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Prata with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.

Credentials include an active Petrobras CRCC, API 676 compliance on the FBE gear line, ASME B73.1 compliance on the FBCN centrifugal and adherence to NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 on fire-fighting systems. Technical documentation and data book accompany supplies upon requirement.

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Prata and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Prata with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.

It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.
