Yes. By following ASME B73.1 — the North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps —, the FBCN series delivers a pump-and-motor set interchangeable with equipment from global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) present in São José plants. In a retrofit, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations usually remain; the swap focuses on the rotating set. Prior to supply, FB application engineering conducts the dimensional gap analysis.

Yes. FB Bombas application engineering supports ISO 10816 vibration analysis (velocity RMS in mm/s) for diagnosing misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps installed in São José. The service includes baseline capture at startup, spectral comparison during PM campaigns, and intervention recommendations (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) before vibration exceeds the standard’s zone D.

The advantages are concrete: faster delivery because nothing depends on imports; FB engineering providing direct technical support; spares secured by in-house parts manufacturing; local-currency pricing, free from exchange rate exposure; and physical presence on projects in São José and surrounding areas. All from a company manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.

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 São José 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.

The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.

It depends on the configuration: standard-arrangement pumps have shorter lead times, while special constructions follow the schedule stated in the technical proposal. The deciding factor is the combination of series, materials and stock availability — and transport to São José goes through our regular road operator.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in São José. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover applications typically served by global manufacturers such as KSB, Sulzer, Imbil and Grundfos — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.

During a plant shutdown in São José, critical parts — mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings — enter FB Bombas' emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and choice of alternative modal (express road or air, depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time depends on the region and the window is negotiated case by case. Customers with an installed base and scheduled PM can keep part of the stock on consignment at the plant.
