FBE Gear Pumps in Lucena

Yes. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps —, the FBCN series delivers a pump-and-motor set interchangeable with equipment from global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) present in Lucena plants. In a retrofit, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain; the swap focuses on the rotating set. Prior to supply, FB application engineering conducts the dimensional gap analysis.

FB Bombas' trajectory as an industrial pump manufacturer began in 1944 and adds up to over 82 years of continuous experience. Engineering, manufacturing and testing operate under one roof at the Cabreúva/SP factory — a guarantee of total quality control on every unit that reaches Lucena and the rest of Brazil.

Send flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity: with these four data points FB engineering calculates the right model, also validating available NPSH, operating regime and material compatibility. The service is free of charge for customers in Lucena.

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.

Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.

Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Lucena, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.

They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, Lucena plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve achieve dimensional retrofit on already-installed baseplates: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, only the rotating set is exchanged — piping and baseplate stay intact.

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

Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Lucena: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.
