Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Braço do Norte, Santa Catarina for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (588 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


Cabreúva-SP → Braço do Norte (588 km via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book. The road network BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282, with BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Braço do Norte. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Braço do Norte (SC) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For local industry — the dominant industrial calling of Braço do Norte — we recommend the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. Within IBGE mesoregion Sul Catarinense, Braço do Norte shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. For projects in Braço do Norte that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover API 610 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. The port cluster of Itajai is 160 km from Braço do Norte, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. FB Bombas application engineering owns technical specification in Braço do Norte — from customer data sheet to the final Data Book delivered with the pump, through application review, FAT on the hydraulic bench and on-site SAT support. The óleos industriais and água industrial profile observed in Braço do Norte maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS.

Technical fit in Braço do Norte points to FBEI and FBCN as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. Typical applications mapped for Braço do Norte include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. The portuario cluster near Braço do Norte brings a technical agenda of bunker fuel oil (BPF), seawater for cooling and liquid bulk movement — a reference FB Bombas uses as a benchmark for initial sizing and series selection. Material selection for óleos industriais and água industrial in Braço do Norte considers AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. For Braço do Norte, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.
Technically, Braço do Norte shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. Demand in Braço do Norte is characterized by high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Observed seasonal pattern: continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply. Braço do Norte follows the same rhythm as the nearby portuario cluster. Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Braço do Norte demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Braço do Norte, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Braço do Norte among the 50 most populous cities in SC, maintains a relevant industrial base — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment. Due to proximity to the portuario cluster, Braço do Norte shares a technical agenda with bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a direct path to series and materials selection.
Logistics lead time to Braço do Norte is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. Alternative routing to Braço do Norte can use BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. 588 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Braço do Norte via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Braço do Norte logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Regional service from Braço do Norte — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Braço do Norte plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.

FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Braço do Norte.
FB Bombas manufactures three major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
