FBE Gear Pumps in Lajedo

Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Lajedo. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.

Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.

Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.

The portfolio covers four in-house series: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for low-pulsation services, FBCN (standardized centrifugal) for water and light fluids and FBOT (dedicated centrifugal) for thermal oil — plus complete fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 and NBR 16704.

Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Lajedo, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.

Limits vary by series. FBE and FBEI: up to 350°C, provided a heating jacket and special sealing are used. FBOT: up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits. FBCN: up to 260°C, with materials and sealing suited to the service. Well-sized sealing and materials are a condition for safe operation in these ranges.

Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Lajedo receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.

Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Lajedo 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.

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 Lajedo and the rest of Brazil.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Lajedo, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
