Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Imbaú, Paraná), FB application engineering recommends FBEI as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 48-72h lead time.


From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 389 km via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, FB Bombas reaches Imbaú with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. Through 20-km proximity to the pulp-and-paper cluster of Telemaco Borba, Imbaú inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in PR qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Imbaú in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE (API 676) and FBCN (ASME B73.1) series and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. In Imbaú, FB Bombas serves projects with in-house application engineering: system-curve analysis, NPSH balance (available vs required), series selection (FBE / FBCN / FBOT / FBEI / FBFS) and API 682 sealing plan. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Imbaú, Paraná with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers), API 610 engineered-to-order projects and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Imbaú with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance, with direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory. In Imbaú, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality).

The pump-and-motor set shipped to Imbaú undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. Imbaú typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Imbaú converges on cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Gear pump selection for Imbaú starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid.
Fluid-roster complexity in Imbaú is low — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. The demand profile in Imbaú reflects low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume. A GDP of R$ 320 million (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (40.8% of value added in 2021) places Imbaú's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Typical fluids handled in Imbaú (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. The papel-celulose cluster near Imbaú brings applications such as white/black liquor circulation, recovery-boiler feed and low-to-medium consistency stock pumping — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Typical use cases identified for Imbaú: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades.
Logistics lead time to Imbaú is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 389 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Imbaú via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Imbaú logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.
FB engineers serve Imbaú for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Regional service from Imbaú — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Imbaú, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
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.
Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.
Yes. On pumps installed in Imbaú, FB Bombas application engineering applies ISO 10816 (velocity RMS in mm/s) to diagnose misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation. The scope covers baseline captured at startup, spectral comparison throughout PM campaigns and recommendation of interventions — re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment — before the machine reaches the standard's zone D.
Yes, we do. Supply for Imbaú ships directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP and includes engineering support, spare parts for all four series and free sizing — critical projects may receive an on-site technical visit.
Send flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity: with these four data points FB engineering calculates the right model, also validating available NPSH, operating regime and material compatibility. The service is free of charge for customers in Imbaú.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
