Industrial pumps for projects in Palmital, Paraná

When the Data Book is part of the purchase scope. State which drawings, manuals, certificates and test reports are required for Palmital; the proposal confirms the documents applicable to the supplied series and configuration. The same Data Book is not assumed for every pump.

FB Bombas began manufacturing industrial pumps in 1944. Its current factory is in Cabreúva, Brazil. The Our History page presents the company’s development; each series’ technical documentation supports equipment evaluation for your project in Palmital.

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 Palmital.

Following the BNDES steps, first check whether the equipment appears on the list of items eligible for BNDES Finame financing, in the CFI Catalog on the bank’s website; for that check, ask the sales team for the identification of the model quoted for Palmital. Then apply for financing through an accredited financial agent, such as a commercial bank, development bank, development agency or credit union. The agent reviews the request and, if it approves the operation, forwards it to BNDES, which evaluates the request and authorizes the financing. Being a Brazilian manufacturer does not, on its own, show that the equipment is accredited.

Send the application in Palmital, fluid, temperature and available flow, pressure or head data. For replacement, add the equipment model, identification and drawing. Also state the destination and purchase documentation requirements. The team confirms any additional data needed and the technical and commercial proposal scope.

It depends on the series. On the FBCN and FBOT, back pull-out construction allows the bearing-housing assembly to be removed without disconnecting the piping, and the FBEI catalogue also indicates back pull-out construction. The FBE external gear pump is not back pull-out: its shafts are supported on bushings. Before working on the equipment in Palmital, check the series manual, the sectional drawing and the parts list.

With the pump and part identification. State the pump model and identification, the part as shown in the parts list of the series manual, the urgency and the destination in Palmital; the team checks availability and confirms service and transport options. There is no published universal parts lead time or automatic guarantee of consignment stock. To reduce downtime, the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals include the list of spare parts for two years of operation.

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.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Palmital, the operating conditions and the available vibration records; the standard, measurement points and limits are defined for the assembly, with no single limit for every pump. Check the alignment first: the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals identify pump-to-motor misalignment as a source of vibration and premature wear and call for realignment after final installation, because transport usually misaligns the set, which leaves the factory pre-aligned; the stated tolerance is under 0.05 mm radial and 0.6° angular, according to the coupling supplier.

No: manual MTEC-03/00 states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1, not dimensional compliance with that standard. So, before a replacement in Palmital, interchangeability with the existing pump is checked on each model’s drawing, together with the duty point, materials and drive.
