Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Picuí, Paraíba for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (2195 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 2195 km via BR-101 (via PE), FB Bombas reaches Picuí with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. Road access runs via BR-101 (via PE), with branches through BR-101, BR-230 and BR-104 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. FB Bombas technical service in Picuí covers centrifugal- and gear-pump sizing, commissioning support, assisted startup and operator training — a scope that spans the full technical-supply cycle. FB Bombas pumps installed in Picuí, Paraíba meet CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Borborema, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Picuí, Paraíba, with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series applied to the local industry sector that dominates the region. Direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP, with application engineering for technical sizing and certification under CRCC Petrobras / API 610 / ASME B73.1 per project specification. Just 246 km separate Picuí from the port cluster of Cabo De Santo Agostinho — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Picuí requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Picuí 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 Picuí, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book. Technical fit in Picuí 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 Picuí, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Picuí, the baseline is austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. What defines the FBE external gear pump in Picuí is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body.
Technically, Picuí shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Picuí has a services-oriented economy (38.4% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 270 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Demand in Picuí is characterized by high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Picuí: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge: this is the typical application set around the portuario cluster in which Picuí sits. Being among the 50 most populous cities in PB, maintains a relevant industrial base, Picuí presents volume and application diversity that justify FB Bombas' structured service. For Picuí, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering.
Typical transit time to Picuí: 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. Technical-service coverage for Picuí involves technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Picuí is BR-101 (via PE), totaling 2195 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Before shipment to Picuí, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Manufacturing in Brazil since 1944, FB Bombas delivers shorter lead times — with no import dependency —, direct technical support from FB engineering, in-house manufactured replacement parts, local-currency pricing free of exchange rate exposure, and on-site service for projects in Picuí and surrounding areas.
The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
It is. From the data of the pump in operation (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature), FB Bombas' application engineering proposes a technical equivalence — dimensional or functional — with one of our series. This replacement has already been done by many clients in Picuí, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Picuí. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.
Since 1944 — over 82 years of continuous experience manufacturing industrial pumps. In Cabreúva/SP, the factory brings engineering, manufacturing and testing together under one roof, which assures total quality control on each unit shipped to Picuí and all across Brazil.
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 Picuí. 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. For stationary fire protection systems, FB Bombas produces pumps compliant with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and with ABNT's NBR 16704 — covering building and industrial projects that demand these certifications.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Picuí 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.

There is no single configuration — engineering selects the mechanical seal based on the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. The range includes single seals, double seals in tandem or back-to-back arrangement, cartridge seals and packing glands in specific applications. When the fluid is hazardous, the recommendation is a double seal with barrier.
