Gear & Centrifugal Pumps in Pacaraima

Yes — Pacaraima 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.

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 Pacaraima, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.

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.

The portfolio covers four in-house series: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for low-pulsation services, FBCN (standardized centrifugal) for water and light fluids and FBOT (dedicated centrifugal) for thermal oil — plus complete fire-fighting systems per NFPA 20 and NBR 16704.

They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, Pacaraima plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve achieve dimensional retrofit on already-installed baseplates: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, only the rotating set is exchanged — piping and baseplate stay intact.

Who serves Pacaraima is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, technical quotes returned within 24h and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to Pacaraima are added to the plan.

They are. The ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) adopted in the FBCN series makes the pump-and-motor set swappable with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds and Flowserve units already operating in Pacaraima plants. In a typical retrofit, baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are preserved — only the rotating set is replaced. The dimensional gap analysis is executed by FB application engineering before supplying.

During a plant shutdown in Pacaraima, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.

The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Pacaraima with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.
