Technical summary
FBEI gear pumps (FB Bombas) in Estrela, Rio Grande do Sul: sized for alimentos, viscous fluids up to 350°C, API 676 compliance and in-house manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP at 840 km. Typical critical-parts lead time: 72-96h.


FB Bombas serves Estrela from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile. FB Bombas application engineering owns technical specification in Estrela — from customer data sheet to the final Data Book delivered with the pump, through application review, FAT on the hydraulic bench and on-site SAT support. In Estrela, Rio Grande do Sul, FB Bombas serves alimentos projects with the FBCN series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with API 610 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). For Estrela, where alimentos is the dominant calling, FB Bombas recommends the FBCN series: FBCN centrifugal pumps with sanitary materials for food processing, process water and utilities. Technical window: 316L stainless steel available, Easy sanitization, Sanitary mechanical seal. Industrial plants in Estrela rely on FB Bombas spares held in scheduled stock: semi-open and open impellers, wear rings in various materials, dual cartridge seals API 682 Plan 53 and SKF/FAG bearings per the original spec. The BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-290 and BR-101 composes the freight mesh to Estrela — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. Just 55 km separate Estrela from the petrochemical cluster of Triunfo — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. Operations in alimentos, frigoríficos dominate the local production profile, defining the typical fluid catalogue and the FB series recommended for each application. In Estrela, óleos comestíveis, água de processo, óleo térmico and água gelada 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).

Material selection for óleos comestíveis, água de processo and óleo térmico in Estrela considers cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. In Estrela, transferência de óleos, pasteurização, limpeza CIP and resfriamento form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. Recommended FB series meet API 610 (12th ed.) for centrifugal and API 676 for positive displacement, a typical requirement in downstream Oil & Gas projects, ensuring interchangeability and test traceability for operations in Estrela. Sitting in the technical context of a petroquimico cluster, Estrela benefits from accumulated learning around fluids with variable viscosity, vapor presence, light hydrocarbons and the need for dual cartridge seals. In Estrela, FBEI and FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Estrela undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
The high fluid-complexity profile in Estrela (diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. Estrela shows a high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). petroquimico cluster near Estrela imposes a continuous operation with triennial outages (TPM) — moments of concentrated demand for retrofitted equipment pace — syncing equipment purchases, PM contracting and regional technical-team mobilization. By the has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale profile, Estrela ranks as a relevant market in FB's commercial plan with regular technical coverage. Estrela: óleos comestíveis, água de processo and óleo térmico. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. Custom solutions for Estrela may include skids with integrated control panel, hydraulic retrofit and mobile units for temporary campaigns. cracking, hydrocarbon transfer, fractionation tower recirculation and oily-water pumping: this is the typical application set around the petroquimico cluster in which Estrela sits. For Estrela, series FBEI for transferência de óleos and series FBOT for pasteurização and limpeza CIP — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. Estrela has alimentos as its main industrial-pump application front — from primary transfer to internal circulation in process equipment.
Logistics lead time to Estrela is 48-72h, with possible technical stop — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 840 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Estrela via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Alternative routing to Estrela can use BR-116, BR-290 and BR-101, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The technical-service model in Estrela is structured as technical visits scheduled in advance, optimizing the specialized team's travel. The factory-to-Estrela logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Regional service from Estrela — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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. 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.
To receive a technical quote for industrial pumps in Estrela, send via website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or email comercial@fbbombas.com.br the application data: fluid (name + viscosity at operating temperature), target flow (m³/h), discharge head (m), available NPSH, operating temperature and regime (continuous or intermittent). Application engineering responds with a preliminary technical proposal, characteristic curve, suggested materials and delivery lead time.
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.
Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

Yes. Every FB Bombas pump delivered to Estrela 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.
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Estrela, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Estrela is handled by our regular road operator.
