For Içara (638 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 48-72h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime. Recommended sealing for the operation profile in Içara is single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — a choice that affects MTBF and maintenance procedure. Içara: dosagem de aditivos, alimentação de prensas and resfriamento de injetoras. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Içara typically calls for FBEI and FBOT — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. For resinas, aditivos and barbotina in Içara, the baseline is AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. FBCN sizing for the Içara circuit checks three points on the curve: the operating point (near BEP), available NPSH with margin over required — critical with hot fluid or suction lift — and end-of-curve power, which protects the motor against overload in off-design operation.
In Içara, 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. IBGE figures size the local market: GDP of R$ 4.9 billion in 2023, with 36.6% of value added coming from industry (2021) — in Içara, pumping is a production input, not an accessory. In Içara, 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. Içara belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state — an input that defines commercial priority and relationship type (one-shot, annual program, master agreement). Içara has cerâmica as its main industrial-pump application front — from primary transfer to internal circulation in process equipment. Being among the 50 most populous cities in SC, maintains a relevant industrial base, Içara presents volume and application diversity that justify FB Bombas' structured service. Içara: resinas, aditivos and barbotina. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. For Içara, series FBEI for dosagem de aditivos and series FBOT for alimentação de prensas and resfriamento de injetoras — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge: this is the typical application set around the portuario cluster in which Içara sits.
638 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Içara via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Consignment stock of critical items is a common approach in Içara, especially for sets running 24/7 or with concentrated PM windows. Logistics lead time to Içara is 24-48h via federal highways — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. Alternative routing to Içara can use BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The technical-service model in Içara is structured as planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer.

Regional service from Içara — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Içara is handled by our regular road operator.
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.
During a plant shutdown in Içara, 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.
Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in Içara. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.

They are. For each delivery to Içara, FB Bombas assembles the unit's complete technical Data Book, containing: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates — stainless steel, duplex or ductile cast iron, per spec —, ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve obtained on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. Full traceability happens through the serial number.
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. The design of the FBE and FBCN lines favors direct access to wear-prone components — disassembly and inspection are done with conventional tools. The routine gets even simpler with detailed technical manuals and replacement parts supplied straight from the factory.
It directly affects viscous fluids: viscosity at winter cold start can be several times higher than at operation, raising the torque demanded from the motor. For oils, asphalt and resins, engineering evaluates a heating jacket and sizes the drive for the most severe condition — not the average.
Manufacturing in Brazil since 1944, FB Bombas delivers shorter lead times — with no import dependency —, direct technical support from FB engineering, in-house manufactured replacement parts, local-currency pricing free of exchange rate exposure, and on-site service for projects in Içara and surrounding areas.
