Technical summary
For viscous fluids in local industry (Caraúbas, Rio Grande do Norte), FB application engineering recommends FBEI as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 96h to 7 days lead time.


Cabreúva-SP → Caraúbas (2202 km via BR-101 (via PB)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book. FB Bombas pumps installed in Caraúbas, Rio Grande do Norte meet CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Caraúbas, Rio Grande do Norte, 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 certification under CRCC Petrobras / API 610 / ASME B73.1 per project specification. The city sits within the IBGE mesoregion Oeste Potiguar, a regional grouping of municipalities with similar economic and logistics profiles — useful for comparative analysis and technical-visit routing. Caraúbas is served by the BR-101 (via PB) axis and also by highways BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. For pumping projects in Caraúbas, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316) and on-site commissioning support. Through 243-km proximity to the industrial district cluster of Maracanau, Caraúbas inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. Caraúbas requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.

Caraúbas requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection.
Caraúbas typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. For óleos industriais and água industrial, the materials recommendation in Caraúbas converges on austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Caraúbas: transferência geral and utilidades. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Sitting in the technical context of a distrito-industrial cluster, Caraúbas benefits from accumulated learning around variable mix: specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oil. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Caraúbas undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
In Caraúbas, the low complexity index in the fluid mix sets lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. Caraúbas belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state — an input that defines commercial priority and relationship type (one-shot, annual program, master agreement). In Caraúbas, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. The fluid catalogue in Caraúbas (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Use cases in Caraúbas (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The distrito-industrial cluster around Caraúbas concentrates applications diverse applications — specialty chemicals, hydraulic oils, purified water and thermal oils — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. Given its state-level scale (among the 50 most populous cities in RN, maintains a relevant industrial base), Caraúbas concentrates projects of varying complexity — making room for both standardized ASME B73.1 solutions and engineered-to-order.
Caraúbas receives equipment within 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Federal highways BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304 make up the access network to Caraúbas, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Cabreúva-SP to Caraúbas: 2202 km via BR-101 (via PB), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Before shipment to Caraúbas, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Caraúbas — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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. 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 Caraúbas, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Caraúbas 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.
FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
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 Caraúbas. 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.

Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Caraúbas. 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.
