FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Carapicuíba

ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Carapicuíba depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Carapicuíba. 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.

Yes, we do. Supply for Carapicuíba ships directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP and includes engineering support, spare parts for all four series and free sizing — critical projects may receive an on-site technical visit.

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 Carapicuíba. 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.

Yes. In addition to the standard portfolio, FB Bombas develops custom solutions for special applications, including modifications in construction materials, sealing arrangements, integrated heating systems, skids, mobile assemblies and retrofit of existing installations. Special projects go through engineering before manufacturing.

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.

It does. FB pumps for stationary fire protection systems follow the NFPA standard (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT's NBR 16704, requirements demanded in building and industrial projects that call for these certifications.

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 Carapicuíba, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.

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 Carapicuíba and all of Brazil.

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.
