Serro, Minas Gerais is FB Bombas territory: FBEI, FBCN series for local industry, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (653 km), API 676/ASME B73.1 compliance and Petrobras CRCC. Typical lead time: 48-72h.
FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Serro (MG) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Serro — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. For pumping projects in Serro, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316) and on-site commissioning support. The mining cluster of Itabira is 114 km from Serro, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. Serro requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. For Serro, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — the FBCN centrifugal follows ASME B73.1, whose dimension designation is common to the entire installed normalized fleet, whoever the original manufacturer was. For projects in Serro that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. Cabreúva-SP → Serro (653 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book.
Technical fit in Serro points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. In Serro, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of óleos industriais and água industrial — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). Typical applications mapped for Serro include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For Serro (653 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 48-72h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime.
The demand profile in Serro reflects low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume. Typical seasonality of the mineracao cluster (24/7 operation with annual scheduled outages — concentrated PM windows and continuous demand for critical parts) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Serro. Serro has a services-oriented economy (48% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 387 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Serro demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the mineracao cluster, Serro shares a technical agenda with process-water booster, slurry pumping, pit dewatering and tailings dam services — a direct path to series and materials selection. In Serro, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand.
Cabreúva-SP to Serro: 653 km via BR-381 Rodovia Fernão Dias, a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Federal highways BR-381, BR-040, BR-262 and BR-116 make up the access network to Serro, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Before shipment to Serro, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.
FB engineers serve Serro with a formal technical proposal: curve-based sizing, materials, NPSH, field conditions and lead time. First engineering response within 1 business day; complete proposal within 3-5 business days.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
FB Bombas serves Serro and neighboring municipalities with the same technical team — optimized visits and supply in joint campaigns.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Serro plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.
There are three channels: WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br and the form on our website. Technical questions get priority response within the same business day — the reply comes directly from application engineering.
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.
It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Serro projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.
Who serves Serro 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 Serro are added to the plan.
Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Serro, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Send the application data through the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br: fluid (name and viscosity at operating temperature), target flow in m³/h, discharge head in m, available NPSH, operating temperature and regime — continuous or intermittent. After reviewing the briefing, application engineering returns a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time for your project in Serro.
FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Serro.
Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Serro count on FB Bombas technical training, structured in modules: sizing and characteristic-curve reading, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Classes can happen at the customer plant or at the factory in Cabreúva/SP, in-person or hybrid format.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Serro, 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.
