Centrifugal pumps for projects in Capela de Santana, Rio Grande do Sul

FB Bombas began manufacturing industrial pumps in 1944. Its current factory is in Cabreúva, Brazil. The Our History page presents the company’s development; each series’ technical documentation supports equipment evaluation for your project in Capela de Santana.

Following the BNDES steps, first check whether the equipment appears on the list of items eligible for BNDES Finame financing, in the CFI Catalog on the bank’s website; for that check, ask the sales team for the identification of the model quoted for Capela de Santana. Then apply for financing through an accredited financial agent, such as a commercial bank, development bank, development agency or credit union. The agent reviews the request and, if it approves the operation, forwards it to BNDES, which evaluates the request and authorizes the financing. Being a Brazilian manufacturer does not, on its own, show that the equipment is accredited.

It depends on the series. The FBE can have packing, a mechanical seal, a lip seal or a magnetic coupling; the standard seal is type 21, in ceramic, graphite and Viton, with an AISI 304 stainless-steel spring. The FBCN uses packing or a mechanical seal, the FBOT combines graphite packing as the first sealing stage with a mechanical seal immersed in the bearing-housing oil, and the FBEI accepts packing or a single, double or cartridge mechanical seal. State the fluid, concentration, temperature and pressure of the process in Capela de Santana to define the arrangement.

Send the application in Capela de Santana, fluid, temperature and available flow, pressure or head data. For replacement, add the equipment model, identification and drawing. Also state the destination and purchase documentation requirements. The team confirms any additional data needed and the technical and commercial proposal scope.

The published grade is for the FBME: service manual MSERV-08/01 (item 12.2) specifies static and dynamic impeller balancing to grade G6.3. The manuals of the other series do not publish a grade; for them and for critical projects in Capela de Santana, specify the required standard, grade and report in the purchase scope. Impeller balancing alone does not guarantee the vibration level of the installation.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Capela de Santana, the operating conditions and the available vibration records; the standard, measurement points and limits are defined for the assembly, with no single limit for every pump. Check the alignment first: the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals identify pump-to-motor misalignment as a source of vibration and premature wear and call for realignment after final installation, because transport usually misaligns the set, which leaves the factory pre-aligned; the stated tolerance is under 0.05 mm radial and 0.6° angular, according to the coupling supplier.

When the Data Book is part of the purchase scope. State which drawings, manuals, certificates and test reports are required for Capela de Santana; the proposal confirms the documents applicable to the supplied series and configuration. The same Data Book is not assumed for every pump.

It can, especially with viscous fluids. On the FBE, speed and transmission are set by fluid viscosity (Table 2 of manual MTEC-01/01), and the heating chamber is available only on sizes from 1.1/2" to 6". The FBEI manual requires the fluid to be at the proper temperature and viscosity before start-up and the heating jacket to be supplied gradually, with steam up to 185 °C or thermal fluid up to 232 °C, both up to 10 bar. State the minimum site temperatures and the fluid viscosity at start-up and in operation in Capela de Santana.

The review for Capela de Santana considers the fluid, flow, required pressure or head, temperature, viscosity and installation conditions. Provide what you already know and identify any equipment in use. The team checks the necessary data before confirming series, model, drive and materials.

With the pump and part identification. State the pump model and identification, the part as shown in the parts list of the series manual, the urgency and the destination in Capela de Santana; the team checks availability and confirms service and transport options. There is no published universal parts lead time or automatic guarantee of consignment stock. To reduce downtime, the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals include the list of spare parts for two years of operation.
