In Soledade, óleos industriais and água industrial 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). FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Soledade (RS) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Soledade — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. FB Bombas pumps installed in Soledade, Rio Grande do Sul meet CRCC Petrobras qualification, ASME B73.1 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. Road access runs via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC), with branches through BR-116, BR-290 and BR-101 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. Through 146-km proximity to the petrochemical cluster of Triunfo, Soledade inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. Industrial plants in Soledade 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. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 816 km via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC), FB Bombas delivers to Soledade industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

For the industrial park of Soledade, the FBE series answers the services kinetic hydraulics cannot cover: transfer with stable flow under fluctuating pressure, dosing proportional to speed and high-viscosity fluids — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps. In Soledade, 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 Soledade, 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. The pump-and-motor set shipped to Soledade undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report.
Soledade: low fluid complexity, lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Soledade: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. In Soledade, value added is dominated by services (41.1%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 1.3 billion — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. The fluid catalogue in Soledade (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. Use cases in Soledade (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. The petroquimico cluster around Soledade concentrates applications cracking, hydrocarbon transfer, fractionation tower recirculation and oily-water pumping — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history.
Soledade receives equipment within 48-72h, with possible technical stop counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Soledade: 816 km via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Before shipment to Soledade, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Soledade — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Service to Soledade is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and original spare parts supplied at factory-direct pricing. On-site technical visits to Soledade are planned based on project criticality.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Soledade, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes. The design of the FBE and FBCN lines favors direct access to wear-prone components — disassembly and inspection are done with conventional tools. The routine gets even simpler with detailed technical manuals and replacement parts supplied straight from the factory.
They are. For each delivery to Soledade, FB Bombas assembles the unit's complete technical Data Book, containing: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates — stainless steel, duplex or ductile cast iron, per spec —, ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve obtained on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. Full traceability happens through the serial number.
ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Soledade depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.
It does. The technical support and logistics covering Soledade are the same applied to the metropolitan region and nearby microregions. That operating radius enables coordinated service to industrial plants distributed across several cities.

Yes. Existing installations can undergo retrofit with FB Bombas — the scope covers seal upgrades, swapping worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance gains. A technical report on the current installation serves as the basis for the assessment.
Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Soledade, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.
