FBE Gear Pumps in Uruguaiana

It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.

Shipment is by road via BR-116 (via Régis Bittencourt até PR/SC), with industrial packaging suited to the journey and tracking until delivery. Sizing, proposal and technical support run in parallel through remote channels — distance does not change the engineering scope, only the logistics planning, reflected in the proposal schedule.

It does. FB Bombas' technical training program for operators and maintainers in Uruguaiana covers: characteristic-curve reading and sizing, cavitation identified via NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, vibration analyzed per ISO 10816 and preventive maintenance (PM) practice, including bearing and wear-ring replacement. Location and format are flexible — customer plant or the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.

FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Uruguaiana projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.

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.

Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Uruguaiana, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Uruguaiana. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

Send flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity: with these four data points FB engineering calculates the right model, also validating available NPSH, operating regime and material compatibility. The service is free of charge for customers in Uruguaiana.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Uruguaiana with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
