From the Cabreúva-SP factory, 638 km via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, FB Bombas reaches Içara with FBE, FBCN, FBOT inventory and engineering capability for special projects. Içara, Santa Catarina is territory where FB Bombas operates as a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer with 82 years of continuous operation. For the cerâmica industrial profile dominating the region, we offer the FBOT series with CRCC Petrobras qualification, API 676 compliance and ASME B73.1 normalization (API 610 engineered-to-order projects) — basis for retrofit in plants with global manufacturers already installed. FB Bombas aftermarket support in Içara covers technical service, spare parts with traceable Data Book, scheduled preventive maintenance (PM) and full overhaul on a factory bench with certified FAT. CRCC Petrobras registration valid in SC qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Içara in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE (API 676) and FBCN (ASME B73.1) series and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Içara has cerâmica and plásticos as its main industrial front — which directly shapes the pump type (gear, centrifugal, thermal-oil) with technical fit for each plant. The FB Bombas FBOT series answers cerâmica demand in Içara — FBOT pumps for furnace heating and ceramic processes requiring precise temperature control. Operating range: High temperature, Continuous operation, Extreme durability. Through 211-km proximity to the port cluster of Itajai, Içara inherits technical-qualification standards (CRCC, sector audits and customer-side homologation standards) and approved suppliers — a favorable context for normalized FB solutions. Membership in the Sul Catarinense mesoregion (IBGE) places Içara in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. The fluid roster in Içara (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.

The pump-and-motor set shipped to Içara undergoes bench hydraulic testing and G2.5 dynamic balancing (ISO 21940), with a traceable report. In Içara, FBEI and FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to replacing an installed pump carrying the same ASME B73.1 dimensional designation. Içara: resinas, aditivos and barbotina suggest materials such as AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. In Içara, 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. In Içara, dosagem de aditivos, alimentação de prensas and resfriamento de injetoras form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. Gear pump selection for Içara starts with viscosity at the real pumping temperature — not the 40 °C catalog figure — the typical case of barbotina e água. With that data, engineering defines speed (flow is proportional), bushing materials and the thermal arrangement: jacketed body for cold starts and a seal compatible with the hot fluid.
Technically, Içara shows high complexity in its fluid mix — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Demand in Içara is characterized by high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Içara has a factory-floor economy: 36.6% of municipal value added is industrial (IBGE, 2021), over a 2023 GDP of R$ 4.9 billion. This profile concentrates demand on process pumps and maintenance contracts with fast parts replacement. Logistics-commercial aspect: balanced logistics — freight is a contained fraction of equipment cost. Içara: resinas, aditivos and barbotina. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. Içara is part of an active operational neighborhood, with maintenance and replacement flows that benefit from optimized regional logistics. Içara has cerâmica as its main industrial-pump application front — from primary transfer to internal circulation in process equipment. 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. 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.

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.
