FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Patos

Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.

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 Patos is handled by our regular road operator.

Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Patos. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.

Yes. FB Bombas serves Patos and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.

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 Patos, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

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.

Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Patos 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.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Patos, 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.

Service to Patos is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory — no intermediaries, no resellers. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, technical quotes returned within 24h and original spare parts supplied without distributor markup. On-site technical visits to Patos are planned based on project criticality.
