Gear pumps for projects in Araucária, Paraná

Yes. The FBE catalogue cites refineries and the pumping of diesel oil, crude oil, greases, asphalt, kerosene, gasoline and oils in general, and the FBCN and FBME manuals list the chemical and petrochemical industries among the applications of these centrifugal pumps; the FBCN has mechanical construction per ASME B73.1. For the project in Araucária, send the fluid, operating conditions, purchasing standards and hazardous-area, material and sealing requirements. Configuration and documents are confirmed in the proposal; registration in the Petrobras supplier registry does not replace that review.

It depends on the series. The catalogue for the FBE external gear pump lists oils in general, greases, asphalt, diesel oil, kerosene, paints, varnishes, resins and solvents, as well as lubrication systems and hydraulic equipment. The FBEI internal gear pump is intended for high-viscosity liquids. The FBCN and FBME handle clean or turbid liquids, and the FBOT handles organic thermal oils free of abrasive particles and of substances that chemically attack the pump. For the process in Araucária, state the composition, temperature, viscosity and solids content; fluids with suspended solids must be assessed by FB engineering.

It can, especially with viscous fluids. On the FBE, speed and transmission are set by fluid viscosity (Table 2 of manual MTEC-01/01), and the heating chamber is available only on sizes from 1.1/2" to 6". The FBEI manual requires the fluid to be at the proper temperature and viscosity before start-up and the heating jacket to be supplied gradually, with steam up to 185 °C or thermal fluid up to 232 °C, both up to 10 bar. State the minimum site temperatures and the fluid viscosity at start-up and in operation in Araucária.

Use WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837, telephone +55 11 4898-9200, comercial@fbbombas.com.br or the website form. To help the team, describe the application, project destination and any pump data already available.

Yes, once equivalence has been confirmed. FB Bombas replaces the installed pump with a complete FB pump and, before the order, assesses the installation and sends a data sheet and dimensional drawing. For the installation in Araucária, send the identification and drawing of the current pump, with its duty point, fluid, materials and drive; origin or a similar designation does not guarantee direct replacement.

The review for Araucária considers the fluid, flow, required pressure or head, temperature, viscosity and installation conditions. Provide what you already know and identify any equipment in use. The team checks the necessary data before confirming series, model, drive and materials.

It depends on the series. The published limits are up to 260 °C for the FBCN, 350 °C for the FBOT, 340 °C for the FBEI and 140 °C for the FBME. For the FBE, the 2026 catalogue gives a range of 10 °C to 500 °C; the limit of each configuration depends on materials and sealing. These are series limits: they do not automatically apply to every model, nor do they necessarily occur together with the other maximums. State the start-up, operating and cleaning temperatures of the process in Araucária.

It depends on the series. On the FBCN and FBOT, back pull-out construction allows the bearing-housing assembly to be removed without disconnecting the piping, and the FBEI catalogue also indicates back pull-out construction. The FBE external gear pump is not back pull-out: its shafts are supported on bushings. Before working on the equipment in Araucária, check the series manual, the sectional drawing and the parts list.

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 Araucária; 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.

Warranty conditions are defined in the proposal and contract and vary with the series, operating conditions and agreement. The manuals state what can void it. Under the FBEI manual (MAN001-10), operating with a different fluid or outside the pump’s data sheets and certified documents without FB’s written authorization voids the warranty. Under the FBME service manual (MSERV-08/01), after parts are replaced, the operating and performance warranty applies only with original parts and FB’s consent. For the project in Araucária, confirm the conditions in the quotation.
