Technical solutions
União receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book. In União, FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to replacing an installed pump carrying the same ASME B73.1 dimensional designation. In União, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). União: transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. In União, FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — this range covers most of the Q×H diagram operated in the field; off-envelope points are handled with custom selection (trimmed impeller, larger motor, double-suction when applicable). União, near a distrito-industrial cluster, deals with variable mix: specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oil — a technical agenda well known to FB application engineering. For the industrial park of União, 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 caldo de cana, melaço e vinhaça. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps.
Why FB Bombas
Fluid-roster complexity in União is high — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Typical seasonality of the distrito-industrial cluster (variable seasonality depending on plant mix — individualized planning) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in União. The demand profile in União reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. União ranks among the 10 largest cities in the state at relevant industrial scale — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. União has a services-oriented economy (31.4% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 609 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. União: melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils: this is the typical application set around the distrito-industrial cluster in which União sits. União is part of an active operational neighborhood, with maintenance and replacement flows that benefit from optimized regional logistics. União has sucroalcooleiro as its main industrial-pump application front — from primary transfer to internal circulation in process equipment. For União, series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. Being among the 10 most populous cities in PI, is a regional benchmark of economic activity, União presents volume and application diversity that justify FB Bombas' structured service.
Logistics & support
72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season: this is the typical delivery interval Cabreúva-SP → União, based on a consolidated road route and FB-qualified logistics operators. União can operate with consigned PM kits (seal + bearing + gaskets) — an approach that reduces interruption during point shutdowns and simplifies industrial inventory management. The BR-316 (via MA) corridor (2132 km) is the logistics spine for FB deliveries to União — a factor entering FOB pricing and the commissioning lead-time curve. BR-316, BR-135 and BR-343 broaden FB's transport flexibility to União — useful in tight-window PM campaigns or for cargo whose gauge requires routes with specific bridges/curves. The service structure for União is sized as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip, with escalation to additional visits in cases of commissioning, troubleshooting or complex retrofit. The factory-to-União dispatch includes technical packaging (impact protection, moisture sealing), multilingual documentation (PT/EN/ES when required) and approved-carrier tracking.

How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in União?
How to request a technical quote for industrial pumps in União?
A technical quote for União 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.
What is the emergency spare-parts lead time to União?
What is the emergency spare-parts lead time to União?
When there is a plant shutdown in União, 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.
Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?
Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in União plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.
What is the advantage of buying from a national manufacturer like FB Bombas?
What is the advantage of buying from a national manufacturer like FB Bombas?
The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in União and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?
What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?
Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.

Engineering reviews each special project as a step prior to manufacturing.
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in União?
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in União?
It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in União. 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.
