Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Criciúma, Santa Catarina for cerâmica — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (636 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


The fluid roster in Criciúma (resinas, aditivos, barbotina and água) demands attention to viscosity, operating temperature and chemical compatibility — variables that FB application engineering uses to recommend the proper series. Criciúma's productive fabric is dominated by cerâmica and plásticos — sectors where FB Bombas maintains an installed base with normalized series (ASME B73.1) interchangeable with global majors. FB Bombas technical service in Criciúma covers centrifugal- and gear-pump sizing, commissioning support, assisted startup and operator training — a scope that spans the full technical-supply cycle. The port cluster of Itajai is 209 km from Criciúma, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. FB Bombas is the national industrial-pump manufacturer serving Criciúma (SC) with direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP. For cerâmica — the dominant industrial calling of Criciúma — we recommend the FBOT series, with field-validated materials, cartridge mechanical seal and characteristic curve certified on an hydraulic bench. For projects in Criciúma 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. Road access runs via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, with branches through BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. For the dominant cerâmica sector in Criciúma, FB Bombas offers the FBOT series — FBOT pumps for furnace heating and ceramic processes requiring precise temperature control. Typical specification: High temperature, Continuous operation, Extreme durability. Service to Criciúma is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt (636 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support.

The dosagem de aditivos, alimentação de prensas and resfriamento de injetoras set accounts for a large share of industrial demand in Criciúma; FB Bombas keeps documented history of analogous applications for sizing benchmarks. Criciúma: single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — a configuration FB Bombas uses as initial reference; refinement depends on risk class and applicable environmental regulation. In Criciúma, FBEI and FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. In Criciúma, influence from the portuario cluster translates into bunker fuel oil (BPF), seawater for cooling and liquid bulk movement — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. For resinas, aditivos and barbotina, the materials recommendation in Criciúma converges on AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. 100% of pumps bound for Criciúma pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
In Criciúma, the high complexity index in the fluid mix sets diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations — a factor adjusting both technical-spec depth and materials-catalogue scope. In Criciúma, very high industrial concentration — territory for multi-customer technical-visit campaigns — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. Criciúma ranks among the 10 largest cities in the state at relevant industrial scale — an input that defines commercial priority and relationship type (one-shot, annual program, master agreement). In Criciúma, portuario-cluster seasonality manifests as continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. Working with resinas, aditivos and barbotina in Criciúma demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Criciúma, cerâmica plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. Criciúma among the 10 most populous cities in SC, is a regional benchmark of economic activity — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment. In Criciúma, series FBEI for dosagem de aditivos and series FBOT for alimentação de prensas and resfriamento de injetoras — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the portuario cluster, Criciúma 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 Criciúma is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The technical-service model in Criciúma is structured as planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer. Alternative routing to Criciúma can use BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. 636 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Criciúma via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. The factory-to-Criciúma logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

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.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Criciúma for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods) with preferential conditions for national industry. The commercial team provides the product FINAME code on the technical proposal for inclusion in the customer financial plan.
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 Criciúma, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
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 Criciúma 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.
FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Criciúma and all of Brazil.
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.
Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Criciúma have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
