Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Machados, Pernambuco for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (2134 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


Based in Cabreúva-SP at 2134 km via BR-101 (via AL), FB Bombas delivers to Machados industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support. Road access runs via BR-101 (via AL), with branches through BR-101, BR-232 and BR-116 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. FB Bombas application engineering serves Machados with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Machados, Pernambuco, with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series applied to the local industry sector that dominates the region. Direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP, with application engineering for technical sizing and qualification under CRCC Petrobras / API 610 / ASME B73.1 per project specification. Machados sits 85 km from the port cluster centered in Cabo De Santo Agostinho, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in PE qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Machados in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE (API 676) and FBCN (ASME B73.1) series and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. The óleos industriais and água industrial profile observed in Machados maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS.

100% of pumps bound for Machados pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing. Machados typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. Machados: óleos industriais and água industrial suggest materials such as AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. For the industrial park of Machados, the FBE series answers the services kinetic hydraulics cannot cover: transfer with stable flow under fluctuating pressure, dosing proportional to speed and high-viscosity fluids — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps.
Fluid-roster complexity in Machados is low — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. With a GDP of R$ 272 million (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 20.2% of value added (2021), Machados combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. The demand profile in Machados reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. The fluid catalogue in Machados (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Use cases in Machados (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The portuario cluster around Machados concentrates applications bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history.
Machados receives equipment within 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Machados: 2134 km via BR-101 (via AL), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Before shipment to Machados, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Machados comes with a complete technical Data Book: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless, duplex, ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual, and as-built drawings. All documentation is traceable by the unit serial number.
There is no single configuration — engineering selects the mechanical seal based on the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. The range includes single seals, double seals in tandem or back-to-back arrangement, cartridge seals and packing glands in specific applications. When the fluid is hazardous, the recommendation is a double seal with barrier.
Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Machados.
A technical quote for Machados starts with the application briefing, sent via website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. Required items: fluid name with viscosity at operating temperature, target flow (m³/h), discharge head (m), available NPSH, operating temperature and whether the regime is continuous or intermittent. Once the analysis is complete, application engineering replies bringing a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
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 Machados, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Four families are manufactured in Cabreúva/SP: external gear FBE and internal gear FBEI for viscous fluids, standardized centrifugal FBCN for low-viscosity liquids and FBOT for thermal oil circuits up to 350 °C. Fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 complete the line.
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 Machados. 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.
