Gear & Centrifugal Pumps in Porto União

The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

FB Bombas' rotating set balancing follows ISO 21940 G2.5 — a grade equivalent to the API 610 requirement for heavy-duty service. It is the level demanded in critical Porto União projects: continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or operations where unplanned downtime is expensive. Above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass beyond 50 kg, balancing is done on two planes, with a piezoelectric sensor.

Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Porto União, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.

Application engineering starts from four variables — flow, differential pressure, temperature and viscosity — and refines with available NPSH, duty cycle and chemical compatibility. The study is free for customers in Porto União and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.

Yes — with a structural advantage: since the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series are manufactured entirely in Brazil, parts ship from the factory itself in Cabreúva/SP, with short lead times for planned shutdowns and priority handling for emergencies. The direct effect is a lower total cost of ownership.

The schedule is set by three factors: chosen series, construction materials and stock at order time. Standard configurations ship faster; custom ones receive a firm date in the technical proposal. Delivery to Porto União is by road, shipping directly from the factory.

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 Porto União and all of Brazil.

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.

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.
