What defines the FBE external gear pump in Caetés is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of óleos industriais e fluidos de processo. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body. Caetés: transferência em linhas de produção and utilidades de planta. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. For the technical profile observed in Caetés, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Caetés undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
In Caetés, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. The economic base of Caetés confirms the profile: industry accounted for 42.8% of municipal value added (IBGE, 2021), and 2023 GDP totaled R$ 503 million — a scale that sustains recurring demand for process pumps, utilities and installed-fleet replacement. In Caetés, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. In Caetés, óleos industriais e fluidos de processo and água industrial form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). In Caetés, indústria de transformação accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. In Caetés, near a sucroalcooleiro cluster, applications such as juice circulation, molasses transfer, vinasse boost and thermal oil for evaporators make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues.
Typical transit time to Caetés: 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Caetés is BR-101 (via AL), totaling 1965 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Caetés occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Caetés — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. On the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is carried out: hydraulic test with characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. The SAT (Site Acceptance Test) on Caetés projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Caetés. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover the same applications served by imported equipment — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, spare parts for FB pumps themselves and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. In a normalized centrifugal retrofit, ASME B73.1 requires that units of the same standard dimension designation, from any source of supply, be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft and foundation bolt holes.
When there is a plant shutdown in Caetés, 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.
It does. FB pumps for stationary fire protection systems follow the NFPA standard (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT's NBR 16704, requirements demanded in building and industrial projects that call for these certifications.

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.
Send the application data through the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br: fluid (name and viscosity at operating temperature), target flow in m³/h, discharge head in m, available NPSH, operating temperature and regime — continuous or intermittent. After reviewing the briefing, application engineering returns a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time for your project in Caetés.
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 Caetés and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.
The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
