Technical summary
FBEI gear pumps (FB Bombas) in Raul Soares, Minas Gerais: sized for local industry, viscous fluids up to 350°C, API 676 compliance and in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP at 601 km. Typical critical-parts lead time: 48-72h.


Service to Raul Soares is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias (601 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support. The steel cluster of Ipatinga is 72 km from Raul Soares, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. In Raul Soares, 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). FB Bombas maintains in Raul Soares the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 610 + API 676 + ASME B73.1 — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, food, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. The road network BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116, with BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Raul Soares. The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Zona da Mata, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. Typical fluids in Raul Soares's industrial operations include óleos industriais and água industrial — a vector that determines whether the correct specification is the FBE/FBEI (gear) or FBCN/FBOT (centrifugal / thermal oil) series.

Raul Soares: óleos industriais and água industrial suggest materials such as cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. Raul Soares: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. In Raul Soares, 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. For Raul Soares, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.
The low fluid-complexity profile in Raul Soares (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. siderurgico cluster near Raul Soares imposes a continuous operation with annual scheduled maintenance and occasional outages tied to production campaigns pace — syncing equipment purchases, PM contracting and regional technical-team mobilization. Raul Soares shows a medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). The fluid catalogue in Raul Soares (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. The siderurgico cluster around Raul Soares concentrates applications blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. Use cases in Raul Soares (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region.
24-48h via federal highways: this is the typical delivery interval Cabreúva-SP → Raul Soares, based on a consolidated road route and FB-qualified logistics operators. The BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias corridor (601 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to Raul Soares — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. The factory-to-Raul Soares dispatch includes technical packaging (impact protection, moisture sealing), multilingual documentation (PT/EN/ES when required) and approved-carrier tracking.
FB engineers serve Raul Soares for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Raul Soares — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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 manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Raul Soares comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
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 Raul Soares 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.
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 Raul Soares and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Raul Soares. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Raul Soares and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Raul Soares is handled by our regular road operator.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Raul Soares and all of Brazil.
