FBE Gear Pumps
FBE Gear Pumps in Rio Claro
In Rio Claro, óleos industriais and água industrial make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). Rio Claro, Rio de Janeiro is territory where FB Bombas operates as a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer with 82 years of continuous operation. For the local industry industrial profile dominating the region, we offer the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series with CRCC Petrobras qualification, API 676 compliance and ASME B73.1 normalization (API 610 engineered-to-order projects) — basis for retrofit in plants with global manufacturers already installed. Logistically, the city connects to Cabreúva-SP via BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra, complemented by alternatives BR-116, BR-101 and BR-040 — a network that supports technical service within tight operational windows. For Rio Claro, FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing baseplates — the FBCN centrifugal follows ASME B73.1, whose dimension designation is common to the entire installed normalized fleet, whoever the original manufacturer was. Just 23 km separate Rio Claro from the steel cluster of Volta Redonda — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in RJ qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Rio Claro 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. Within IBGE mesoregion Sul Fluminense, Rio Claro shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 313 km via BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra, FB Bombas delivers to Rio Claro industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

Technical solutions
What defines the FBE external gear pump in Rio Claro 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 e água industrial. 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. Typical applications mapped for Rio Claro include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Rio Claro, the baseline is AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. In Rio Claro, FBEI and FBCN 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. Rio Claro receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book.
Why FB Bombas
The low fluid-complexity profile in Rio Claro (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. Rio Claro has a services-oriented economy (27.9% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 577 million) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Rio Claro shows a low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). Typical fluids handled in Rio Claro (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Typical use cases identified for Rio Claro: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades. Cities adjacent to Rio Claro belong to recognized industrial clusters, creating a regional demand ecosystem where spare parts and technical visits can be optimized through joint campaigns. The siderurgico cluster near Rio Claro brings applications such as blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials.
Logistics & support
Logistics lead time to Rio Claro is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 313 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Rio Claro via BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Alternative routing to Rio Claro can use BR-116, BR-101 and BR-040, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The factory-to-Rio Claro logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Quotes can be requested via WhatsApp at +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br or through our website form. Provide the application (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature) and the technical team will respond with a proposal sized for your conditions in Rio Claro.
What type of mechanical seal do FB pumps use?
What type of mechanical seal do FB pumps use?
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.
