Direct answer for industrial projects — recommended series, standards compliance and logistics.
FB Bombas serves Forquilhinha, Santa Catarina with industrial pumps manufactured in Cabreúva-SP since 1944. For local industry, FBEI, FBCN series cover the local technical range. Logistics distance: 648 km. Typical critical-parts lead time: 48-72h. Compliant with API 676 and ASME B73.1, Petrobras CRCC qualified; API 610 via engineered-to-order projects.
From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 648 km via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, FB Bombas reaches Forquilhinha with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. For pumping projects in Forquilhinha, FB Bombas provides dedicated application engineering — pre-sizing against the actual system curve, material selection (AISI 316) and on-site commissioning support. In Forquilhinha, 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). 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 Forquilhinha. FB Bombas pumps installed in Forquilhinha, Santa Catarina meet CRCC Petrobras qualification, ASME B73.1 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. Forquilhinha sits 210 km from the refining cluster centered in Canoas, a proximity that usually means shared suppliers and aligned maintenance standards. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Forquilhinha, Santa Catarina, with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series applied to the local industry sector that dominates the region. Direct factory service from Cabreúva-SP, with application engineering for technical sizing and qualification under CRCC Petrobras / API 610 / ASME B73.1 per project specification.
The FB model for Forquilhinha: 48-72h logistics lead time, with the option to accelerate via air modal or alternative routing in operational emergencies. For óleos industriais and água industrial in Forquilhinha, the baseline is cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. In Forquilhinha, transferência geral and utilidades are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. Forquilhinha typically calls for FBEI and FBCN — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering.
With a GDP of R$ 1.5 billion (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 34.1% of value added (2021), Forquilhinha combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. In Forquilhinha, high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. In Forquilhinha, refino-cluster seasonality manifests as scheduled outages every 3-5 years (turnaround) — synchronized demand peaks across the supply chain — information FB Bombas uses to schedule plant capacity and ready-to-ship inventory. The refino cluster near Forquilhinha brings applications such as crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Typical use cases identified for Forquilhinha: series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades. Typical fluids handled in Forquilhinha (óleos industriais and água industrial) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing.
648 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Forquilhinha via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Logistics lead time to Forquilhinha is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The factory-to-Forquilhinha logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.
FB engineers serve Forquilhinha with a formal technical proposal: curve-based sizing, materials, NPSH, field conditions and lead time. First engineering response within 1 business day; complete proposal within 3-5 business days.
Talk to engineeringFor over 82 years, we have manufactured industrial pumps in Cabreúva-SP. From north to south, we serve the country's main industrial hubs with gear (FBE/FBEI) and centrifugal (FBCN/FBOT) pumps — engineered, machined and assembled in our own manufacturing facility.
Our engineering team sizes each pump for the customer's actual application, with bench testing before shipping. This technical rigor — combined with direct support from our team — is what has sustained the trust of groups like Petrobras, Vale and CSN for generations.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
FB Bombas serves Forquilhinha and neighboring municipalities with the same technical team — optimized visits and supply in joint campaigns.
Yes, provided the dimension designation coincides. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps — the FBCN occupies the standardised installation envelope defined by the norm, which does not depend on who built the pump running in Forquilhinha plants. What is supplied is the complete pump: baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain. FB application engineering runs the dimensional gap analysis before supply, covering flow, head and required NPSH as well.
Yes. FB Bombas serves Forquilhinha and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.
Yes. On the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is carried out: hydraulic test with characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. The SAT (Site Acceptance Test) on Forquilhinha projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.
Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Forquilhinha for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods), with preferential conditions for national industry. On the technical proposal, the commercial team includes the product's FINAME code to enter the customer's 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 Forquilhinha, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
Limits vary by series. FBE and FBEI: up to 350°C, provided a heating jacket and special sealing are used. FBOT: up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits. FBCN: up to 260°C, with materials and sealing suited to the service. Well-sized sealing and materials are a condition for safe operation in these ranges.

Three paths lead to a quote: the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 and the email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. With the application data in hand (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature), the technical team returns a proposal already sized for your scenario in Forquilhinha.
It does. FB Bombas' retrofit service for existing installations encompasses updated seals, replaced worn components, adjustment to new fluids and improved hydraulic performance. To evaluate each case, the reference is the technical report on the current installation.
Yes. Since FB Bombas manufactures entirely in Cabreúva/SP, replacement parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are available directly from the factory, with short lead times for scheduled stops and priority service for emergencies. This significantly reduces total cost of ownership.
