Centrifugal pumps for projects in Rio Tinto, Paraíba

It depends on the model and the duty point; there is no single efficiency figure for the brand. The FBCN and FBME characteristic curves show the efficiency of each model and, for stainless-steel impellers with passages up to 15 mm, the FBCN manual deducts 2 or 3 points from the curve efficiency (Table 4). For the project in Rio Tinto, compare the absorbed power at the process flow, head and fluid, also considering drive, control and operating duty.

Service can be requested for Rio Tinto and other destinations through the factory channels in Cabreúva, Brazil. Provide each project location and required scope to confirm supply and transport conditions. This does not represent a physical FB Bombas location in every city.

The catalogue includes FBE external gear, FBEI internal gear, FBCN standardized centrifugal, FBME multistage centrifugal and FBOT thermal oil pumps, fire systems and custom solutions. Review each family’s documentation; configuration and availability are confirmed in the quotation.

It depends on the series. The FBE can have packing, a mechanical seal, a lip seal or a magnetic coupling; the standard seal is type 21, in ceramic, graphite and Viton, with an AISI 304 stainless-steel spring. The FBCN uses packing or a mechanical seal, the FBOT combines graphite packing as the first sealing stage with a mechanical seal immersed in the bearing-housing oil, and the FBEI accepts packing or a single, double or cartridge mechanical seal. State the fluid, concentration, temperature and pressure of the process in Rio Tinto to define the arrangement.

With the pump and part identification. State the pump model and identification, the part as shown in the parts list of the series manual, the urgency and the destination in Rio Tinto; the team checks availability and confirms service and transport options. There is no published universal parts lead time or automatic guarantee of consignment stock. To reduce downtime, the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals include the list of spare parts for two years of operation.

FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing. Send the identification and drawing of the pump installed in Rio Tinto, with flow, head, fluid, materials and drive.

FB Bombas serves projects in Rio Tinto from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with direct engineering support and parts supply for its equipment. Availability, lead time, transport and on-site service are assessed according to the request. Its industrial pump manufacturing history began in 1944.

Yes, in the five Custom Solutions categories: custom complete motor-pump assembly, mobile industrial kit, industrial pump skid, retrofit with a new FB pump in place of the installed one, and special materials projects. The scope of each project is defined with engineering before manufacture in Cabreúva, Brazil.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Rio Tinto, the operating conditions and the available vibration records; the standard, measurement points and limits are defined for the assembly, with no single limit for every pump. Check the alignment first: the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals identify pump-to-motor misalignment as a source of vibration and premature wear and call for realignment after final installation, because transport usually misaligns the set, which leaves the factory pre-aligned; the stated tolerance is under 0.05 mm radial and 0.6° angular, according to the coupling supplier.

The proposal should define availability, dispatch, transport, packaging and responsibilities for delivery to Rio Tinto. State access, unloading and receiving restrictions. Route, mode and timing are confirmed for the supply; a reference distance is not a road route or delivery time.
