Centrifugal pumps for projects in Novo Hamburgo, Rio Grande do Sul

Service can be requested for Novo Hamburgo and other destinations through the factory channels in Cabreúva, Brazil. Provide each project location and required scope to confirm supply and transport conditions. This does not represent a physical FB Bombas location in every city.

No: manual MTEC-03/00 states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1, not dimensional compliance with that standard. So, before a replacement in Novo Hamburgo, interchangeability with the existing pump is checked on each model’s drawing, together with the duty point, materials and drive.

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 Novo Hamburgo; 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.

By replacement, not refurbishment. FB Bombas replaces the old pump with a new, complete FB pump manufactured in Cabreúva, Brazil. Before the order, engineering assesses the installation and issues a data sheet and dimensional drawing; the drawing confirms whether the existing baseplate and piping can be kept or need adaptation. FB does not refurbish other manufacturers’ pumps, sell third-party parts or reuse the installed casing. For FB pumps in service, it supplies original parts and maintenance contracts.

The review for Novo Hamburgo 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.

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 Novo Hamburgo to define the arrangement.

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 Novo Hamburgo.

FB Bombas serves projects in Novo Hamburgo from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with direct engineering support and parts supply for its equipment. Availability, lead time, transport and on-site service are assessed according to the request. Its industrial pump manufacturing history began in 1944.

It depends on the series. On the FBCN and FBOT, back pull-out construction allows the bearing-housing assembly to be removed without disconnecting the piping, and the FBEI catalogue also indicates back pull-out construction. The FBE external gear pump is not back pull-out: its shafts are supported on bushings. Before working on the equipment in Novo Hamburgo, check the series manual, the sectional drawing and the parts list.

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 Novo Hamburgo. 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.
