Technical summary
The FBEI gear-pump line is specified in Palmitos, Santa Catarina for local industry — flow and pressure set by the actual system curve. Cabreúva-SP factory (736 km), API 676 and direct technical service from FB engineering.


In Palmitos, 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 petrochemical cluster of Triunfo is 349 km from Palmitos, generating economic spillover and correlated technical demand — common in pumping projects involving both cities. FB Bombas maintains in Palmitos the technical portfolio of CRCC Petrobras + API 676 + ASME B73.1 (API 610 on engineered-to-order projects) — a regulatory base that spans refining, petrochemicals, mining, sanitation, pulp and paper, sugar-ethanol and steel. 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. FB Bombas application engineering serves Palmitos with custom technical sizing: system characteristic curve, available NPSH, in-service viscosity and mechanical-seal strategy (API Plan 11, 13, 52 or 53 by criticality). FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Palmitos, 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. Cabreúva-SP → Palmitos (736 km via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book.

For the industrial park of Palmitos, the FBE series answers the services kinetic hydraulics cannot cover: transfer with stable flow under fluctuating pressure, dosing proportional to speed and high-viscosity fluids — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Sizing validates starting torque at the coldest condition of the year — the classic mistake that shears keys in undersized pumps. In Palmitos, FBEI and FBCN 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. Typical applications mapped for Palmitos include transferência geral and utilidades — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. 100% of pumps bound for Palmitos pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
Technically, Palmitos shows low complexity in its fluid mix — lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors. A GDP of R$ 1.2 billion (IBGE, 2023) with a services profile (51.2% of value added in 2021) places Palmitos's local demand in the utilities field: building pressurization, light process water and fire-fighting systems. Demand in Palmitos is characterized by medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. The fluid catalogue in Palmitos (óleos industriais and água industrial) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. The petroquimico cluster around Palmitos concentrates applications cracking, hydrocarbon transfer, fractionation tower recirculation and oily-water pumping — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. Use cases in Palmitos (series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region.
Palmitos receives equipment within 48-72h, with possible technical stop counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Cabreúva-SP to Palmitos: 736 km via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Before shipment to Palmitos, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Palmitos — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Palmitos. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover the same applications served by imported equipment — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, spare parts for FB pumps themselves and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. In a normalized centrifugal retrofit, ASME B73.1 requires that units of the same standard dimension designation, from any source of supply, be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft and foundation bolt holes.

Yes — the standard catalog is only the starting point. For special applications, FB Bombas engineers custom solutions: changes in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Before manufacturing, every special project is validated by engineering.
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 Palmitos and all of Brazil.
Coverage against manufacturing defects accompanies the supply of FB pumps — the full terms appear in the commercial proposal. It holds as long as installation, operation and maintenance follow what the manual specifies and the sizing performed by engineering. Our technical team clarifies the specific conditions of your project in Palmitos.
Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Palmitos 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. Existing installations can undergo retrofit with FB Bombas — the scope covers seal upgrades, swapping worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance gains. A technical report on the current installation serves as the basis for the assessment.
FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
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.
