Technical solutions

What defines the FBE external gear pump in Currais Novos is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of água de mina e lamas diluídas. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body. For sealing in Currais Novos, single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment is a defensible starting point; final plan approval involves risk analysis of the specific fluid. Currais Novos: recalque de água, barragens de rejeito and alimentação de prensas. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. For Currais Novos, 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). For água de processo, lamas diluídas and barbotina in Currais Novos, the baseline is austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. In Currais Novos, 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. For Currais Novos, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.

Why FB Bombas

Currais Novos: medium fluid complexity, moderate fluid roster — concentration in a few main technical categories. At state scale, Currais Novos belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state. Currais Novos: by affinity to the portuario cluster, continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply — a variable that enters commercial planning. The demand profile in Currais Novos reflects high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand. In Currais Novos, value added is dominated by services (50.9%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 956 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Typical fluids handled in Currais Novos (água de processo, lamas diluídas and barbotina) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. In Currais Novos, series FBCN+FBOT for recalque de água and barragens de rejeito — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. In Currais Novos, mineração plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. The portuario cluster near Currais Novos brings applications such as bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Currais Novos, among the 50 most populous cities in RN, maintains a relevant industrial base, offers a continuous pipeline of technical opportunities — from retrofit to greenfield. Currais Novos: special projects (skids, retrofit, mobile sets) are part of FB's portfolio, anchored in the already-normalized hydraulics of the FBCN/FBE series.

Logistics & support

For Currais Novos, 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. Cabreúva-SP → Currais Novos via BR-101 (via PB) (2210 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For Currais Novos, FB service follows the technical visits planned as a mission — concentrated agenda to cover multiple plants in a single trip model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries. The BR-101, BR-226 and BR-304 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Currais Novos — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. The distance to Currais Novos opens room for multimodal routing — road + rail combination (where available) reduces total freight cost in high-volume projects. For Currais Novos, FB dispatch is preceded by: hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run with curve points, G2.5 dynamic balancing and Data Book closure — all traceable by serial number.

Frequently Asked Questions about Currais Novos

Are FB pumps delivered to Currais Novos with a traceable Data Book?

Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Currais Novos: 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.

Does FB Bombas serve fire protection 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.

Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?

It is. From the data of the pump in operation (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature), FB Bombas' application engineering proposes a technical equivalence — dimensional or functional — with one of our series. This replacement has already been done by many clients in Currais Novos, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.

Does FB Bombas have a representative in Currais Novos?

Who serves Currais Novos 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 Currais Novos are added to the plan.

Does FB Bombas manufacture custom pumps?

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.

What is the delivery lead time for pumps to Currais Novos?

The schedule is set by three factors: chosen series, construction materials and stock at order time. Standard configurations ship faster; custom ones receive a firm date in the technical proposal. Delivery to Currais Novos is by road, shipping directly from the factory.

Are FB pumps energy efficient?

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 Currais Novos, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

How does pump delivery work for Currais Novos, 2210 km from the factory?

Shipment is by road via BR-101 (via PB), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.

What is the warranty on FB pumps?

FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Currais Novos.

Is the FBCN dimensionally compatible with normalized pumps already installed in Currais Novos?

It is compatible when the dimension designation is the same. ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), adopted in the FBCN series, defines an envelope common to the whole normalized fleet operating in Currais Novos plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit. In a typical retrofit, baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are preserved, and FB Bombas supplies the complete new pump — not loose parts for third-party equipment. The dimensional and hydraulic gap analysis is executed by application engineering before supplying.
