Technical solutions

The pump-and-motor set shipped to Ribeirão das Neves undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. For óleos hidráulicos, fluidos de corte and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Ribeirão das Neves converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Recommended sealing for the operation profile in Ribeirão das Neves is single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — a choice that affects MTBF and maintenance procedure. Technically, 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) covers the typical range observed in Ribeirão das Neves, with margin for process variants (start-up, by-pass, upset conditions). Ribeirão das Neves typically calls for FBEI and FBCN+FBOT — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. Typical applications mapped for Ribeirão das Neves include hidráulica industrial, resfriamento de moldes and bombeamento de utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. Gear pump selection for Ribeirão das Neves starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos hidráulicos e lubrificantes. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid.

Frequently Asked Questions about Ribeirão das Neves

Are FB pumps energy efficient?

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 Ribeirão das Neves, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

How is pump sizing performed?

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 Ribeirão das Neves.

What is the warranty on FB pumps?

Every FB pump leaves the factory with a warranty against manufacturing defects, under the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The condition is that installation, operation and maintenance respect the manual's parameters and the sizing defined by engineering. For details on your project in Ribeirão das Neves, talk to our technical team.

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 Ribeirão das Neves have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

What is the emergency spare-parts lead time to Ribeirão das Neves?

During a plant shutdown in Ribeirão das Neves, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.

Can FB Bombas pumps be financed via BNDES / FINAME in Ribeirão das Neves?

They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Ribeirão das Neves eligible for the BNDES Finame lines — Industrial Working Capital, Modernization and Capital Goods —, which offer preferential conditions for national industry. The product's FINAME code is provided by the commercial team on the technical proposal, ready to compose the customer's financial plan.

How to request a pump quote for Ribeirão das Neves?

Just use one of the channels: WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br or the website form. Describe the application — fluid, flow, pressure, temperature — and the technical team replies with a proposal sized for your conditions in Ribeirão das Neves.

How long has FB Bombas been in the market?

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 Ribeirão das Neves and all across Brazil.

Is the FBCN dimensionally compatible with normalized pumps already installed in Ribeirão das Neves?

Yes, when the dimension designation matches. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), which requires pumps of the same designation, from any source of supply, to be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, baseplate and foundation bolt holes — in Ribeirão das Neves plants this applies to the installed normalized fleet. FB Bombas supplies the complete pump, not loose parts: baseplate, piping and foundation stay, and a new FBCN goes in. Before supply, application engineering checks the duty point (Q×H), available NPSH and flange class — a matching designation alone does not guarantee hydraulic equivalence.

Does the FBOT series serve thermal oil applications in Ribeirão das Neves?

Yes. FBOT is FB Bombas’ specific centrifugal pump for thermal oil circuits, operating at elevated temperatures with fluids like Therminol, Dowtherm and similar. Material and sealing selection is done according to the maximum operating temperature and type of thermal oil.
