In viscous fluid services in Gramado, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. In Gramado, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. For the technical profile observed in Gramado, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBEI and FBCN as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. Before shipment to Gramado, each pump is tested on a hydraulic bench with ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — FB Bombas standard protocol.
Gramado: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Gramado has a services-oriented economy (70.1% of value added, IBGE 2021; 2023 GDP of R$ 3.6 billion) — in this profile, typical projects involve centrifugals for utilities, reservoirs and fire networks, with the FBCN as the reference series. Gramado: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Gramado: óleos industriais and água industrial. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. For Gramado, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives: this is the typical application set around the refino cluster in which Gramado sits.
Logistics lead time to Gramado is 48-72h, with possible technical stop — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. 771 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Gramado via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Gramado logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Regional service from Gramado — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Three paths lead to a quote: the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 and the email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. With the application data in hand (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature), the technical team returns a proposal already sized for your scenario in Gramado.
Yes — Gramado is part of FB Bombas’ direct service area. Supply, engineering support and spare parts ship from the factory in Cabreúva/SP; sizing is done at no cost and, when the project is critical, the team evaluates an on-site technical visit.
They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Gramado eligible for the BNDES Finame lines — Industrial Working Capital, Modernization and Capital Goods —, which offer preferential conditions for national industry. The product's FINAME code is provided by the commercial team on the technical proposal, ready to compose the customer's financial plan.
It directly affects viscous fluids: viscosity at winter cold start can be several times higher than at operation, raising the torque demanded from the motor. For oils, asphalt and resins, engineering evaluates a heating jacket and sizes the drive for the most severe condition — not the average.
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
In Gramado, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Gramado are scheduled.
Yes, when the dimension designation matches. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), which requires pumps of the same designation, from any source of supply, to be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, baseplate and foundation bolt holes — in Gramado plants this applies to the installed normalized fleet. FB Bombas supplies the complete pump, not loose parts: baseplate, piping and foundation stay, and a new FBCN goes in. Before supply, application engineering checks the duty point (Q×H), available NPSH and flange class — a matching designation alone does not guarantee hydraulic equivalence.
They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, a Gramado plant running a normalized pump of the same designation achieves retrofit on the already-installed baseplate: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, the FBCN pump takes the place of the previous one — piping and baseplate stay intact. Hydraulic equivalence (Q×H and NPSH) is checked separately, on the data sheet.
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 ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.
