Technical summary
In Ceará-Mirim, Rio Grande do Norte, FBE+FBEI (external gear) serves sucroalcooleiro with 12 sizes (1/8" to 6"), pressure up to 22 kgf/cm² and field-validated materials. Cabreúva-SP at 2332 km, 96h to 7 days logistics lead time.


Typical fluids in Ceará-Mirim's industrial operations include melaço, óleos lubrificantes, óleos comestíveis and caldo de cana — a vector that determines whether the correct specification is the FBE/FBEI (gear) or FBCN/FBOT (centrifugal / thermal oil) series. Ceará-Mirim has sucroalcooleiro and alimentos as its main industrial front — which directly shapes the pump type (gear, centrifugal, thermal-oil) with technical fit for each plant.

The applicable operating envelope spans FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 138 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — sufficient for most industrial applications identified in Ceará-Mirim. The transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, transferência de óleos and circulação de caldo set accounts for a large share of industrial demand in Ceará-Mirim; FB Bombas keeps documented history of analogous applications for sizing benchmarks. In Ceará-Mirim, influence from the portuario cluster translates into bunker fuel oil (BPF), seawater for cooling and liquid bulk movement — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. Ceará-Mirim typically calls for FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. In Ceará-Mirim, materials such as AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere answer the requirements of melaço, óleos lubrificantes and óleos comestíveis — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). Ceará-Mirim is served with a logistics lead time of 96h to 7 days for critical parts from Cabreúva-SP, subject to case-by-case optimization. 100% of pumps bound for Ceará-Mirim pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
Ceará-Mirim: high fluid complexity, diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Ceará-Mirim: logistics is a significant economic factor — order consolidation and integrated packages are recommended — a relevant input for pricing and commercial strategy. Ceará-Mirim: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Ceará-Mirim: by affinity to the portuario cluster, continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply — a variable that enters commercial planning. At state scale, Ceará-Mirim ranks among the 10 largest cities in the state at relevant industrial scale. The fluid catalogue in Ceará-Mirim (melaço, óleos lubrificantes and óleos comestíveis) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Given its state-level scale (among the 10 most populous cities in RN, is a regional benchmark of economic activity), Ceará-Mirim concentrates projects of varying complexity — making room for both standardized ASME B73.1 solutions and engineered-to-order. In Ceará-Mirim, FBFS fire-protection projects serve industrial buildings, commercial spaces and logistics warehouses with approval for state Fire Department and insurers. sucroalcooleiro plants in Ceará-Mirim sustain a continuous pipeline of technical demand — from scheduled replacement to ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit replacing imported equipment. Use cases in Ceará-Mirim (series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The portuario cluster around Ceará-Mirim concentrates applications bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history.
Logistics lead time to Ceará-Mirim is 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. Consignment stock of critical items is a common approach in Ceará-Mirim, especially for sets running 24/7 or with concentrated PM windows. The technical-service model in Ceará-Mirim is structured as technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip. 2332 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Ceará-Mirim via BR-101 (via PB) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Alternative routing to Ceará-Mirim can use BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The factory-to-Ceará-Mirim logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Ceará-Mirim 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.
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
Yes. The FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Ceará-Mirim and all of Brazil.
FBE external gear pumps can operate with fluids up to 100,000 SSU (approximately 22,000 cSt). For very high viscosities, rotation is reduced to maintain volumetric efficiency and component life. Engineering sizes each application in Ceará-Mirim according to the actual viscosity profile.
The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Ceará-Mirim with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.
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.
Service to Ceará-Mirim is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory — no intermediaries, no resellers. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, technical quotes returned within 24h and original spare parts supplied without distributor markup. On-site technical visits to Ceará-Mirim are planned based on project criticality.
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 Ceará-Mirim. 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.
