In viscous fluid services in Araraquara, 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 caldo de cana, melaço e vinhaça. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage. In Araraquara, FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT 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. In Araraquara, transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação are the applications that most often appear in local industrial operations; each defines a distinct set of process variables. Sitting in the technical context of a sucroalcooleiro cluster, Araraquara benefits from accumulated learning around sugarcane juice, vinasse, molasses and thermal oil for evaporators — 24/7 operation during harvest. For melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana, the materials recommendation in Araraquara converges on cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Lead time for critical parts to Araraquara is typically 24-48h — a function of distance (200 km) and the available road modal. The applicable operating envelope spans FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — sufficient for most industrial applications identified in Araraquara. Araraquara receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book.
Technically, Araraquara shows high complexity in its fluid mix — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. With a GDP of R$ 14.7 billion (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 20.9% of value added (2021), Araraquara combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. Observed seasonal pattern: concentrated harvest season (Apr-Nov) creates short maintenance windows and intense parts demand during milling. Araraquara follows the same rhythm as the nearby sucroalcooleiro cluster. Araraquara: belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state, a structural variable in the commercial offer. Demand in Araraquara is characterized by very high industrial concentration — territory for multi-customer technical-visit campaigns, a typical regional pattern of the mesoregion. Logistics-commercial aspect: favorable logistics — reduced freight enables small and medium-sized projects. Araraquara: melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana. Each fluid defines a distinct set of pump requirements — flow, available NPSH, sealing strategy. juice circulation, molasses transfer, vinasse boost and thermal oil for evaporators: this is the typical application set around the sucroalcooleiro cluster in which Araraquara sits. For Araraquara, series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação — initial reference for technical discussion with application engineering. Being among the 50 most populous cities in SP, maintains a relevant industrial base, Araraquara presents volume and application diversity that justify FB Bombas' structured service. The FBFS line serves Araraquara with fire-protection systems compliant with NFPA 20, NBR 16704 and NBR 10897, in electric, diesel and hybrid configurations. Custom solutions for Araraquara may include skids with integrated control panel, hydraulic retrofit and mobile units for temporary campaigns. Araraquara has sucroalcooleiro as its main industrial-pump application front — from primary transfer to internal circulation in process equipment.
For Araraquara, 12-24h via direct road modal is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. The SP-300, SP-021, SP-330, BR-116 and BR-374 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Araraquara — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. For Araraquara, FB service follows the in-person technical visits with rapid mobilization — Cabreúva → customer route in a few hours model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries. Cabreúva-SP → Araraquara via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021) (200 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. In Araraquara, large sets arrive via lowboy or platform trailers with special transit permit — operation coordinated by FB logistics engineering. For Araraquara, FB dispatch is preceded by: hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run with curve points, G2.5 dynamic balancing and Data Book closure — all traceable by serial number.
FB engineers serve Araraquara 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 Araraquara — same series, same factory in Cabreúva/SP.
In sugar and ethanol mills, the FBE series is used for molasses and final honey transfer due to high viscosity; FBCN serves juice, vinasse and imbibition water circulation; FBOT feeds thermal oil circuits that heat evaporators and vacuum pans. Selection depends on each stage of the production process.
Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.
The 200 km distance via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021) shortens everything: more economical freight, faster delivery and easier on-site technical visits for critical projects. During maintenance shutdowns, proximity to Cabreúva/SP cuts the time between the call and the part on site.
Yes. The design of the FBE and FBCN lines favors direct access to wear-prone components — disassembly and inspection are done with conventional tools. The routine gets even simpler with detailed technical manuals and replacement parts supplied straight from the factory.
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 Araraquara 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.
For water, condensate and low-viscosity fluids, the recommendation is the FBCN standardized centrifugal — 53 models with bench-tested curves and back-pull-out maintenance, which frees the rotating assembly without dismantling the piping. The exact model comes from the circuit’s flow × head pair.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Araraquara for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods) with preferential conditions for national industry. The commercial team provides the product FINAME code on the technical proposal for inclusion in the customer financial plan.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Araraquara. 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.
FBE external gear pumps can operate with fluids up to 100,000 SSU (approximately 22,000 cSt). For very high viscosities, rotation is reduced to maintain volumetric efficiency and component life. Engineering sizes each application in Araraquara according to the actual viscosity profile.
Yes. FBOT is FB Bombas’ specific centrifugal pump for thermal oil circuits, operating at elevated temperatures with fluids like Therminol, Dowtherm and similar. Material and sealing selection is done according to the maximum operating temperature and type of thermal oil.
Araraquara is recognized as an important industrial hub in the region, with emphasis on sucroalcooleiro and laranja. FB Bombas offers specialized service for local industries.
