Technical solutions

In viscous fluid services in Charqueada, 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. For the technical profile observed in Charqueada, FB Bombas application engineering recommends FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT as a starting point for sizing, subject to refinement per Q×H curve, available NPSH and actual fluid temperature. In Charqueada, the sealing strategy starts at single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — combined with API 682 plan selection (Plan 11/13/52/53/62) and specific commissioning care. In Charqueada, 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. Technically, 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) covers the typical range observed in Charqueada, with margin for process variants (start-up, by-pass, upset conditions). Material selection for melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana in Charqueada 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. For Charqueada, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book.

Why FB Bombas

Charqueada: high fluid complexity, diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Charqueada: low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Charqueada: by affinity to the sucroalcooleiro cluster, concentrated harvest season (Apr-Nov) creates short maintenance windows and intense parts demand during milling — a variable that enters commercial planning. At state scale, Charqueada has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale. IBGE figures size the local market: GDP of R$ 791 million in 2023, with 38.1% of value added coming from industry (2021) — in Charqueada, pumping is a production input, not an accessory. Typical fluids handled in Charqueada (melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Fire protection systems (NFPA 20 / ABNT NBR 16704) are a recurring application in industrial plants in Charqueada — scope covered by FB Bombas' FBFS line. The sucroalcooleiro cluster near Charqueada brings applications such as juice circulation, molasses transfer, vinasse boost and thermal oil for evaporators — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. In Charqueada, sucroalcooleiro plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. Typical use cases identified for Charqueada: series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação. Cities adjacent to Charqueada belong to recognized industrial clusters, creating a regional demand ecosystem where spare parts and technical visits can be optimized through joint campaigns.

Logistics & support

Charqueada receives equipment within 12-24h via direct road modal counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Charqueada: transport of large skids and pump-motor sets is executed with platform trailers and indivisible-cargo logistics when applicable. Charqueada: technical service is organized as in-person technical visits with rapid mobilization — Cabreúva → customer route in a few hours — the model FB Bombas uses to ensure support without overloading operations. Cabreúva-SP to Charqueada: 111 km via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Federal highways SP-300, SP-021, SP-330, BR-116 and BR-374 make up the access network to Charqueada, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. The factory-to-Charqueada logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.

Frequently Asked Questions about Charqueada

What is the maximum viscosity that FBE pumps can handle?

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 Charqueada according to the actual viscosity profile.

Are FB pumps delivered to Charqueada with a traceable Data Book?

Yes. A complete technical Data Book accompanies each FB Bombas pump that reaches Charqueada: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates (stainless steel, duplex and ductile cast iron per spec), ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve measured on the test bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. The unit serial number traces all this documentation.

What is the balancing grade of FB pumps for critical projects in Charqueada?

The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Charqueada with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.

What is the advantage of Charqueada being close to the FB Bombas factory?

The 111 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.

How to request a pump quote for Charqueada?

Quotes can be requested via WhatsApp at +55 11 97287-4837, email comercial@fbbombas.com.br or through our website form. Provide the application (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature) and the technical team will respond with a proposal sized for your conditions in Charqueada.

Does FB Bombas perform on-site technical visits in Charqueada?

Yes. For projects in Charqueada, on-site technical visits by application engineers can be scheduled for process data collection, diagnosis of existing installations and commissioning support. Geographic proximity makes this operation agile and recurring.

Can FB Bombas pumps be financed via BNDES / FINAME in Charqueada?

They can. FB Bombas' accreditation in FINAME (the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), as a Brazilian manufacturer, makes equipment destined for Charqueada eligible for the BNDES Finame lines — Industrial Working Capital, Modernization and Capital Goods —, which offer preferential conditions for national industry. The product's FINAME code is provided by the commercial team on the technical proposal, ready to compose the customer's financial plan.

What is the emergency spare-parts lead time to Charqueada?

When there is a plant shutdown in Charqueada, FB Bombas triggers an emergency flow dedicated to critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings): the order gets pre-invoicing, dispatch is prioritized and the modal can change — express road or air, decided by distance and criticality. The region defines the typical lead time, with a window negotiable for each case. For those with an installed base and scheduled PM, there is the option of consigning part of the stock at the plant.

Are FB pumps energy efficient?

They are. In energy consumption, nothing weighs more than sizing correctly: oversized or undersized pumps generate waste. FB Bombas engineering's job is to define the ideal operating point for the actual process conditions in Charqueada, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

What types of fluids can FB pumps handle?

The FB portfolio handles an extensive spectrum of fluids. The FBE series takes mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins plus viscous chemical and hydraulic products; the FBCN series works with raw and treated water, process fluids and industrial effluents; the FBOT series is dedicated to thermal oil at elevated temperatures. Each case is sized considering viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
