In Caicó, água de tingimento and óleo térmico 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). Just 306 km separate Caicó from the port cluster of Cabo De Santo Agostinho — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Caicó, Rio Grande do Norte is territory where FB Bombas operates as a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer with 82 years of continuous operation. For the têxtil industrial profile dominating the region, we offer the FBOT 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. FB Bombas technical service in Caicó covers centrifugal- and gear-pump sizing, commissioning support, assisted startup and operator training — a scope that spans the full technical-supply cycle. The road network BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304, with BR-101 (via PB) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Caicó. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in RN qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Caicó 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. For Caicó, 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. For Caicó, where têxtil is the dominant calling, FB Bombas recommends the FBOT series: FBOT pumps for heating systems in textile processes, dyeing and fabric finishing. Technical window: Controlled temperature, Constant flow, Energy savings. Caicó's productive fabric is dominated by têxtil and bordados — sectors where FB Bombas maintains an installed base with normalized series (ASME B73.1) interchangeable with global majors. From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 2161 km via BR-101 (via PB), FB Bombas reaches Caicó with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects.

In viscous fluid services in Caicó, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of água de tingimento e óleo térmico. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. In Caicó, 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. The portuario cluster near Caicó brings a technical agenda of bunker fuel oil (BPF), seawater for cooling and liquid bulk movement — a reference FB Bombas uses as a benchmark for initial sizing and series selection. Caicó: água de tingimento and óleo térmico suggest materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. For Caicó, 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) is a starting specification — fine-tuning happens with the actual system curve (friction, available NPSH, headloss). In Caicó, tinturaria and calandras aquecidas are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. 100% of pumps bound for Caicó pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
Caicó: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. In Caicó, value added is dominated by services (56.6%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 1.7 billion — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Caicó: very high industrial concentration — territory for multi-customer technical-visit campaigns — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. At state scale, Caicó ranks among the 10 largest cities in the state at relevant industrial scale. Caicó: by affinity to the portuario cluster, continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply — a variable that enters commercial planning. Typical fluids handled in Caicó (água de tingimento and óleo térmico) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Caicó 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. têxtil operations in Caicó demand continuous pumping of process fluids, with preventive-maintenance windows aligned to plant scheduled outages. In Caicó, fire-pump sets (electric, diesel or electric+diesel) follow NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 — supplied through FBFS. In Caicó, series FBCN+FBOT for tinturaria and calandras aquecidas — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the portuario cluster, Caicó shares a technical agenda with bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Logistics lead time to Caicó is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The technical-service model in Caicó is structured as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip. Consignment stock of critical items is a common approach in Caicó, especially for sets running 24/7 or with concentrated PM windows. Alternative routing to Caicó can use BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. 2161 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Caicó via BR-101 (via PB) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Caicó logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Regional service from Caicó — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. FBOT is FB Bombas’ specific centrifugal pump for thermal oil circuits, operating at elevated temperatures with fluids like Therminol, Dowtherm and similar. Material and sealing selection is done according to the maximum operating temperature and type of thermal oil.
Yes. On pumps installed in Caicó, 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.
The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Caicó 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 — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.
Coverage against manufacturing defects accompanies the supply of FB pumps — the full terms appear in the commercial proposal. It holds as long as installation, operation and maintenance follow what the manual specifies and the sizing performed by engineering. Our technical team clarifies the specific conditions of your project in Caicó.

They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Caicó, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.
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.
ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Caicó depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.
