Technical summary
For viscous fluids in porcelana (Pomerode, Santa Catarina), FB application engineering recommends FBE as a starting point. API 676 compliance, vertically integrated manufacturing in Cabreúva-SP, 48-72h lead time.


FB Bombas application engineering serves Pomerode 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 maintains in Pomerode 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. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer of industrial pumps serving Pomerode, Santa Catarina, with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series applied to the porcelana 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. Under the IBGE Vale do Itajaí mesoregion grouping, Pomerode shares per-capita GDP, workforce profile and environmental-licensing patterns with adjacent cities — macroeconomic variables that reinforce predictability of local B2B demand. The BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt corridor combined with highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282 composes the freight mesh to Pomerode — a cost variable in pricing skids, pump-motor sets and indivisible cargo with escort. Just 54 km separate Pomerode from the port cluster of Itajai — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. In Pomerode, Porcelana and Turismo concentrate the largest share of demand for rotating equipment — a technical agenda well known to the FB application team, with proposals sized against the actual system curve. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 433 km via BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, FB Bombas delivers to Pomerode industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

In viscous fluid services in Pomerode, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of água. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. Sitting in the technical context of a portuario cluster, Pomerode benefits from accumulated learning around bunker fuel oil (BPF), seawater for cooling and liquid bulk movement. Technical-and-commercial support for Pomerode is covered from Cabreúva-SP, with typical lead time for critical parts of 48-72h via dedicated carrier. Recommended FB series meet ASME B73.1 for horizontal normalized centrifugal pumps — consolidated market standard, ensuring interchangeability and test traceability for operations in Pomerode.
In Pomerode, 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. In Pomerode, medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a characteristic that sizes FB's commercial strategy: application-engineering coverage, visit cadence and depth of consignment stock. The economic base of Pomerode confirms the profile: industry accounted for 48% of municipal value added (IBGE, 2021), and 2023 GDP totaled R$ 3.2 billion — a scale that sustains recurring demand for process pumps, utilities and installed-fleet replacement. Pomerode shares an industrial axis with nearby municipalities — a setting that enables structured supply and scheduled regional service. The portuario cluster around Pomerode concentrates applications bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. In Pomerode, FBFS fire-protection projects serve industrial buildings, commercial spaces and logistics warehouses with approval for state Fire Department and insurers. porcelana plants in Pomerode sustain a continuous pipeline of technical demand — from scheduled replacement to ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit replacing imported equipment.
Typical transit time to Pomerode: 24-48h via federal highways — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. Beyond the main route, Pomerode is accessible via BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282 — options that provide redundancy in case of blockages or restricted operating windows. The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Pomerode is BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, totaling 433 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Pomerode occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control.
FB engineers serve Pomerode for the FBE series with a sized proposal — duty point, fluid, field conditions and supply lead time.

Brazilian sectors for which FB Bombas sizes equipment — complete technical guides per application.
Regional service from Pomerode — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
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 Pomerode.
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.
Yes. For projects in Pomerode, on-site technical visits by application engineers can be scheduled for process data collection, diagnosis of existing installations and commissioning support. Geographic proximity makes this operation agile and recurring.
There is no single configuration — engineering selects the mechanical seal based on the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. The range includes single seals, double seals in tandem or back-to-back arrangement, cartridge seals and packing glands in specific applications. When the fluid is hazardous, the recommendation is a double seal with barrier.
In Pomerode, service comes directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP, through the FB Bombas team. The customer speaks with application engineering for sizing, receives the complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and buys original parts at factory pricing. When project criticality warrants it, on-site technical visits to Pomerode are scheduled.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Pomerode plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.
Yes, when the dimension designation matches. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps), which requires pumps of the same designation, from any source of supply, to be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft, baseplate and foundation bolt holes — in Pomerode plants this applies to the installed normalized fleet. FB Bombas supplies the complete pump, not loose parts: baseplate, piping and foundation stay, and a new FBCN goes in. Before supply, application engineering checks the duty point (Q×H), available NPSH and flange class — a matching designation alone does not guarantee hydraulic equivalence.

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.
Three fluid fronts are covered by the FB series. FBE: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products. FBCN: raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents. FBOT: thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility guide the sizing of every application.
