FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Piçarra

It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to Piçarra goes through our regular road operator.

They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Piçarra 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.

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 Piçarra, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Piçarra. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover the same applications served by imported equipment — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, spare parts for FB pumps themselves and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. In a normalized centrifugal retrofit, ASME B73.1 requires that units of the same standard dimension designation, from any source of supply, be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft and foundation bolt holes.

Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Piçarra 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.

They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, a Piçarra plant running a normalized pump of the same designation achieves retrofit on the already-installed baseplate: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, the FBCN pump takes the place of the previous one — piping and baseplate stay intact. Hydraulic equivalence (Q×H and NPSH) is checked separately, on the data sheet.

The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Piçarra and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.

They do. In the FBE and FBCN lines, wear-affected components sit in easily accessible positions, so conventional tools suffice for disassembly and inspection. Add detailed technical manuals and factory-direct availability of replacement parts — and maintenance becomes an uncomplicated routine.
