In utilities and continuous process in Açu, 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. For Açu, FB delivery includes conformance certificates against ASME B73.1 for horizontal normalized centrifugal pumps — consolidated market standard — documentation typically required during commissioning audits and qualification processes. The distrito-industrial cluster near Açu brings a technical agenda of variable mix: specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oil — a reference FB Bombas uses as a benchmark for initial sizing and series selection. The FB model for Açu: 96h to 7 days logistics lead time, with the option to accelerate via air modal or alternative routing in operational emergencies.
In Açu, high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. In Açu, distrito-industrial-cluster seasonality manifests as variable seasonality depending on plant mix — individualized planning — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. IBGE figures size the local market: GDP of R$ 2.2 billion in 2023, with 35.3% of value added coming from industry (2021) — in Açu, pumping is a production input, not an accessory. In Açu, fruticultura plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. Açu among the 10 most populous cities in RN, is a regional benchmark of economic activity — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment. Due to proximity to the distrito-industrial cluster, Açu shares a technical agenda with diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Cabreúva-SP to Açu: 2257 km via BR-101 (via PB), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Açu receives equipment within 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Açu: technical service is organized as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip — the model FB Bombas uses to ensure support without overloading operations.

After reviewing the briefing, application engineering returns a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time for your project in Açu.
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.
Yes. Existing installations can undergo retrofit with FB Bombas — the scope covers seal upgrades, swapping worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance gains. A technical report on the current installation serves as the basis for the assessment.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Açu for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods) with preferential conditions for national industry. The commercial team provides the product FINAME code on the technical proposal for inclusion in the customer financial plan.

Yes, we do. Supply for Açu ships directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP and includes engineering support, spare parts for all four series and free sizing — critical projects may receive an on-site technical visit.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Açu, 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. On pumps installed in Açu, FB Bombas application engineering applies ISO 10816 (velocity RMS in mm/s) to diagnose misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation. The scope covers baseline captured at startup, spectral comparison throughout PM campaigns and recommendation of interventions — re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment — before the machine reaches the standard's zone D.
Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Açu, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
