Technical summary
The FBCN (normalized centrifugal) line is specified in Vassouras, Rio de Janeiro for local industry — head up to 135 m, temperature up to 260°C. ASME B73.1, in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP (369 km).


FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Vassouras, Rio de Janeiro, 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. Just 46 km separate Vassouras from the steel cluster of Volta Redonda — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Typical fluids in Vassouras's industrial operations include óleos industriais and água industrial — a vector that determines whether the correct specification is the FBE/FBEI (gear) or FBCN/FBOT (centrifugal / thermal oil) series. Within IBGE mesoregion Metropolitana do Rio de Janeiro, Vassouras shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. For projects in Vassouras that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. Industrial plants in Vassouras rely on FB Bombas spares held in scheduled stock: semi-open and open impellers, wear rings in various materials, dual cartridge seals API 682 Plan 53 and SKF/FAG bearings per the original spec. The BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-040 composes the freight mesh to Vassouras — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 369 km via BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra, FB Bombas delivers to Vassouras industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

In utilities and continuous process in Vassouras, the standardized centrifugal standardizes the fleet: 53 models with bench-tested curves cover the flow × head grid, and the same construction philosophy simplifies spares inventory across sizes — fewer critical items, more availability. In Vassouras, materials such as AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere answer the requirements of óleos industriais and água industrial — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). For the technical profile observed in Vassouras, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. Typical applications mapped for Vassouras include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For Vassouras (369 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 48-72h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime.
Demand in Vassouras is characterized by low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Vassouras: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. By IBGE's breakdown, Vassouras adds up a GDP of R$ 1.5 billion (2023) with industrial share of 18.7% in value added (2021) — a market where FB serves from process circuits to water and HVAC infrastructure. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Vassouras demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Due to proximity to the siderurgico cluster, Vassouras shares a technical agenda with blast-furnace cooling systems, rolling-mill lubricating oils and thermal oil in continuous furnaces — a direct path to series and materials selection. In Vassouras, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Vassouras among the 50 most populous cities in RJ, maintains a relevant industrial base — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment.
Cabreúva-SP → Vassouras via BR-116 Rodovia Presidente Dutra (369 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. The BR-116, BR-101 and BR-040 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Vassouras — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. In Vassouras, FB Bombas structures a spare-parts program tailored to the operation profile — class-A items on consignment, class-B on scheduled order and class-C on demand. For Vassouras, FB service follows the planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries.
FB engineers serve Vassouras for the FBCN series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Vassouras — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
It does. FB Bombas' retrofit service for existing installations encompasses updated seals, replaced worn components, adjustment to new fluids and improved hydraulic performance. To evaluate each case, the reference is the technical report on the current installation.
Yes. On the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is carried out: hydraulic test with characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. The SAT (Site Acceptance Test) on Vassouras projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.
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 Vassouras, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Vassouras: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.
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.

Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
It does. When a special application demands something beyond the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops the solution: modified construction materials, specific sealing arrangements, system-integrated heating, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Engineering reviews each special project as a step prior to manufacturing.
Who serves Vassouras is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation returned within 3-5 business days and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to Vassouras are added to the plan.
During a plant shutdown in Vassouras, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.
Yes. For projects in Vassouras, on-site technical visits by application engineers can be scheduled for process data collection, diagnosis of existing installations and commissioning support. Geographic proximity makes this operation agile and recurring.
