FBE Gear Pumps in Palhoça

Send flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity: with these four data points FB engineering calculates the right model, also validating available NPSH, operating regime and material compatibility. The service is free of charge for customers in Palhoça.

ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Palhoça depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.

In Palhoça, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives technical quotes with feedback within 24h and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Palhoça are scheduled.

It offers both. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) takes place on the Cabreúva/SP bench and covers hydraulic testing, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration; when the customer specifies, inspection witnesses the tests. In the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) of Palhoça projects, application engineering supports commissioning with startup checklist, laser alignment and capture of the baseline vibration signature.

Yes. ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance — the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps — is a feature of the FBCN series and enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Palhoça plants that started with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline obey the standard, allowing the rotating set to be swapped without touching piping or baseplate.

Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.

Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Palhoça 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 — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Palhoça, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.

Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Palhoça, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, fast spare parts and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In retrofits, dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates comes from ASME B73.1 normalization.
