FBE Gear Pumps in Cerqueira César

There is. Full production in Cabreúva/SP guarantees factory replacement parts for all four series — planned shutdowns get short lead times and emergencies receive priority handling, which protects the total cost of ownership of the equipment installed in Cerqueira César.

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

The 210 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.

It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Cerqueira César. Across the duty ranges currently held by imported lines, the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series offer equivalent coverage, with better lead times by dispensing with imports, factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. On a normalized pump, the existing baseplate is preserved when the ASME B73.1 dimension designation matches — which the standard makes independent of the installed brand.

FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with ASME B73.1 (standard for process centrifugal pumps — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.

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 Cerqueira César and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.

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.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Cerqueira César with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Cerqueira César, 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.

Service to Cerqueira César 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 Cerqueira César are planned based on project criticality.
