FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Jataizinho

FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Jataizinho and all of Brazil.

The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Jataizinho with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.

It does. When a special application demands something beyond the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops the solution: modified construction materials, specific sealing arrangements, system-integrated heating, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Engineering reviews each special project as a step prior to manufacturing.

It is. From the data of the pump in operation (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature), FB Bombas' application engineering proposes a technical equivalence — dimensional or functional — with one of our series. This replacement has already been done by many clients in Jataizinho, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.

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.

Application engineering starts from four variables — flow, differential pressure, temperature and viscosity — and refines with available NPSH, duty cycle and chemical compatibility. The study is free for customers in Jataizinho and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.

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 Jataizinho, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

Yes. For projects in Jataizinho, on-site technical visits by application engineers can be scheduled for process data collection, diagnosis of existing installations and commissioning support. Geographic proximity makes this operation agile and recurring.

The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in Jataizinho and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

When there is a plant shutdown in Jataizinho, FB Bombas triggers an emergency flow dedicated to critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings): the order gets pre-invoicing, dispatch is prioritized and the modal can change — express road or air, decided by distance and criticality. The region defines the typical lead time, with a window negotiable for each case. For those with an installed base and scheduled PM, there is the option of consigning part of the stock at the plant.
