Industrial pumps for projects in Curiúva, Paraná

The portfolio includes pumping sets for fire protection systems. Provide the project, duty point, drive arrangement and required standards and acceptance criteria. Compliance must be checked for the supplied set; standards such as NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 are not certificates issued for the entire company.

It depends on the series, as set out in each manual: 10 kgf/cm² for the FBE (MTEC-01/01, Table 5), 1.5 times the operating pressure for the FBOT (MTEC-16/00), 1.5 times the working pressure for the FBME (MTEC-08/01) and per ANSI B73.1 for the FBCN (MTEC-03/00). The test is performed on the factory bench in Cabreúva, Brazil; certificates, additional tests and customer witnessing are defined in the proposal for supply to Curiúva.

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 Curiúva.

The published grade is for the FBME: service manual MSERV-08/01 (item 12.2) specifies static and dynamic impeller balancing to grade G6.3. The manuals of the other series do not publish a grade; for them and for critical projects in Curiúva, specify the required standard, grade and report in the purchase scope. Impeller balancing alone does not guarantee the vibration level of the installation.

By replacement, not refurbishment. FB Bombas replaces the old pump with a new, complete FB pump manufactured in Cabreúva, Brazil. Before the order, engineering assesses the installation and issues a data sheet and dimensional drawing; the drawing confirms whether the existing baseplate and piping can be kept or need adaptation. FB does not refurbish other manufacturers’ pumps, sell third-party parts or reuse the installed casing. For FB pumps in service, it supplies original parts and maintenance contracts.

FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer with direct service from its factory in Cabreúva. To compare an alternative for the project in Curiúva, check performance, materials, dimensions, documentation and commercial conditions. Brazilian origin alone does not guarantee lower cost, shorter lead time or technical equivalence.

It depends on the series. Installation and operation instructions are in FBEI manual MAN001-10 and in FBME service manual MSERV-08/01, which also covers maintenance and recommends FB-authorized supervision during installation. The FBE (MTEC-01/01), FBCN (MTEC-03/00) and FBOT (MTEC-16/00) technical manuals provide technical data, sectional drawings, parts lists and dimensions; for installing and maintaining these series, the published services include on-site start-up and commissioning and maintenance contracts. The manuals are on the website’s technical manuals page (PDFs in Portuguese), and MSERV-08/01 is on the FBME series page. For the operation in Curiúva, identify the series and model from the pump’s nameplate.

The review for Curiúva 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 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 Curiúva, state the composition, temperature, viscosity and solids content; fluids with suspended solids must be assessed by FB engineering.

Yes, for FB product lines. The FBE catalogue lists replacement components such as shafts, gears, bushing sets, covers, mechanical seal, lip seal and relief valve, and the FBEI and FBME manuals include spare-parts lists for two years of operation. For delivery to Curiúva, state the series, model, manufacturing number and component; compatibility, availability and lead time are confirmed in the quotation. Supply ships from the factory in Cabreúva, Brazil; the city page does not indicate local stock. Use original parts: the FBME service manual makes the operating and performance warranty conditional on original parts and FB’s consent.
