FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Araripina

It does. FB Bombas' retrofit service for existing installations encompasses updated seals, replaced worn components, adjustment to new fluids and improved hydraulic performance. To evaluate each case, the reference is the technical report on the current installation.

It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.

Yes. FB Bombas serves Araripina and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.

Shipment is by road via BR-101 (via AL), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.

FB Bombas' trajectory as an industrial pump manufacturer began in 1944 and adds up to over 82 years of continuous experience. Engineering, manufacturing and testing operate under one roof at the Cabreúva/SP factory — a guarantee of total quality control on every unit that reaches Araripina and the rest of Brazil.

It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Araripina. 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.

Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Araripina count on FB Bombas technical training, structured in modules: sizing and characteristic-curve reading, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Classes can happen at the customer plant or at the factory in Cabreúva/SP, in-person or hybrid format.

It does. The technical support and logistics covering Araripina are the same applied to the metropolitan region and nearby microregions. That operating radius enables coordinated service to industrial plants distributed across several cities.

During a plant shutdown in Araripina, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Araripina and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
