FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Capanema

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Capanema and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

Yes — the standard catalog is only the starting point. For special applications, FB Bombas engineers custom solutions: changes in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Before manufacturing, every special project is validated by engineering.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Capanema. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover the same applications served by imported equipment — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, spare parts for FB pumps themselves and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. In a normalized centrifugal retrofit, ASME B73.1 requires that units of the same standard dimension designation, from any source of supply, be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft and foundation bolt holes.

Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Capanema, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Capanema 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.

Credentials include an active Petrobras CRCC, API 676 compliance on the FBE gear line, ASME B73.1 compliance on the FBCN centrifugal and adherence to NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 on fire-fighting systems. Technical documentation and data book accompany supplies upon requirement.

Yes. FB Bombas serves Capanema 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.

Who serves Capanema is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation returned within 3-5 business days and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to Capanema are added to the plan.

It does. The standard used is ISO 10816, with velocity RMS in mm/s, and the diagnosis — conducted by FB Bombas application engineering — identifies misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps operating in Capanema. At startup the baseline is captured; in PM campaigns, spectral comparison is performed; and interventions (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) are recommended before vibration enters zone D.

Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.
