FBE Gear Pumps for Polo Sucroalcooleiro de Catanduva in Catanduva
Local context

Technical solutions
In viscous fluid services in Catanduva, 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. Typical applications mapped for Catanduva include transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. For Catanduva (307 km from Cabreúva-SP), the critical-parts logistics cycle runs in 48-72h — a workable window for regular PM campaigns with controlled risk of extended downtime. Technical fit in Catanduva points to FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. The technical profile of the sucroalcooleiro cluster near Catanduva involves sugarcane juice, vinasse, molasses and thermal oil for evaporators — 24/7 operation during harvest — information that guides preliminary sizing of FB series. Material selection for melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana in Catanduva considers cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. Recommended sealing for the operation profile in Catanduva is single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — a choice that affects MTBF and maintenance procedure. 100% of pumps bound for Catanduva pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.
Why FB Bombas
The high fluid-complexity profile in Catanduva (diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. The economic fabric of Catanduva is diversified: services lead, but industry holds 19.3% of municipal value added (IBGE, 2021), over a 2023 GDP of R$ 7 billion — real demand for both process pumps and building utilities and sanitation. By the has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale profile, Catanduva ranks as a relevant market in FB's commercial plan with regular technical coverage. sucroalcooleiro cluster near Catanduva imposes a concentrated harvest season (Apr-Nov) creates short maintenance windows and intense parts demand during milling pace — syncing equipment purchases, PM contracting and regional technical-team mobilization. Catanduva is natural territory for scheduled replacement programs — the FBCN delivers the same dimensional envelope as the international standard, with motorization, materials and sealing tuned to the local process. Catanduva shows a high industrial density — multiple plants in a small radius, meaningful cumulative demand pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). The fluid catalogue in Catanduva (melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. For Catanduva, special solutions include ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit with flange and footprint interchangeability, modular skids with integrated automation and mobile sets for decommissioning campaigns. The sucroalcooleiro cluster around Catanduva concentrates applications juice circulation, molasses transfer, vinasse boost and thermal oil for evaporators — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. Use cases in Catanduva (series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region. sucroalcooleiro plants in Catanduva sustain a continuous pipeline of technical demand — from scheduled replacement to ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit replacing imported equipment. In Catanduva, FBFS fire-protection projects serve industrial buildings, commercial spaces and logistics warehouses with approval for state Fire Department and insurers.

Frequently Asked Questions about Catanduva
Which FB pumps are used in sugar and ethanol mills in Catanduva?
Which FB pumps are used in sugar and ethanol mills in Catanduva?
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.
What is the emergency spare-parts lead time to Catanduva?
What is the emergency spare-parts lead time to Catanduva?
For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Catanduva, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?
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.
Does FB Bombas retrofit older pumps?
Does FB Bombas retrofit older pumps?
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
What is the warranty on FB pumps?
What is the warranty on FB pumps?
Coverage against manufacturing defects accompanies the supply of FB pumps — the full terms appear in the commercial proposal. It holds as long as installation, operation and maintenance follow what the manual specifies and the sizing performed by engineering. Our technical team clarifies the specific conditions of your project in Catanduva.
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?
Each series has its thermal limit: with heating jacket and special sealing, FBE and FBEI reach 350°C; FBOT hits the same 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN goes up to 260°C when fitted with proper materials and sealing. Safe operation requires correctly sized sealing and materials.

Does FB Bombas have a representative in Catanduva?
Service to Catanduva is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation within 3-5 business days and original spare parts supplied at factory-direct pricing. On-site technical visits to Catanduva are planned based on project criticality.
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in Catanduva?
Is FB Bombas a national alternative to imported manufacturers in Catanduva?
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Catanduva. 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.
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Yes — and the secret lies in correct sizing, the main lever for energy efficiency. Both an oversized and an undersized pump waste energy. That is why FB Bombas engineering determines the optimal operating point from the actual process conditions in Catanduva, balancing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
