Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Areia, Paraíba for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (2190 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


FB Bombas serves Areia from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-101 (via PE) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile. FB Bombas application engineering serves Areia with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). The BR-101 (via PE) corridor combined with highways BR-101, BR-230 and BR-104 composes the freight mesh to Areia — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. In Areia, Paraíba, 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). Areia sits 164 km from the port cluster centered in Cabo De Santo Agostinho, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. For projects in Areia that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover API 610 (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. Within IBGE mesoregion Agreste Paraibano, Areia shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. Typical fluids in Areia'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.

Areia typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. In Areia, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Areia converges on AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. In Areia, the sealing strategy starts at single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — combined with API 682 plan selection (Plan 11/13/52/53/62) and specific commissioning care. Before shipment to Areia, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
Areia: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Areia: by affinity to the portuario cluster, continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply — a variable that enters commercial planning. Areia: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Areia demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Areia, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the portuario cluster, Areia shares a technical agenda with bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a direct path to series and materials selection. Areia among the 50 most populous cities in PB, maintains a relevant industrial base — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment.
Areia receives equipment within 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Areia: 2190 km via BR-101 (via PE), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Federal highways BR-101, BR-230 and BR-104 make up the access network to Areia, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Before shipment to Areia, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Areia — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Areia 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.
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.
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 Areia 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.
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 Areia is handled by our regular road operator.
Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
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 Areia, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
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.
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
