FBE Gear Pumps in Cruzeiro do Oeste

FB Bombas manufactures four major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.

Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Cruzeiro do Oeste receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.

Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Cruzeiro do Oeste plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.

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.

Send the application data through the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br: fluid (name and viscosity at operating temperature), target flow in m³/h, discharge head in m, available NPSH, operating temperature and regime — continuous or intermittent. After reviewing the briefing, application engineering returns a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time for your project in Cruzeiro do Oeste.

Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Cruzeiro do Oeste: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.

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 Cruzeiro do Oeste. 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.

It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to Cruzeiro do Oeste goes through our regular road operator.

They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Cruzeiro do Oeste, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Cruzeiro do Oeste. Across the duty ranges currently held by imported lines, the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series offer equivalent coverage, with better lead times by dispensing with imports, factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. On a normalized pump, the existing baseplate is preserved when the ASME B73.1 dimension designation matches — which the standard makes independent of the installed brand.
