FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Conceição de Macabu

Yes. FB Bombas serves Conceição de Macabu 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.

Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Conceição de Macabu, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.

Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Conceição de Macabu. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.

Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Conceição de Macabu plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.

The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Conceição de Macabu 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.

Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Conceição de Macabu have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Conceição de Macabu, 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.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Conceição de Macabu. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.
