FBE Gear Pumps in Conchas

Yes. FB Bombas serves Conchas and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.

Lead time depends on the chosen series, construction materials and stock availability. For standard configuration pumps, lead times are shorter; for special or custom constructions, the schedule is informed in the technical proposal. Logistics for Conchas is handled by our regular road operator.

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.

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 API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.

Yes. FB Bombas offers technical training for operations and maintenance teams in Conchas, with modules on: sizing and reading the characteristic curve, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Training can be delivered at the customer plant or at the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

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 Conchas. 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.

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 Conchas according to the actual viscosity profile.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Conchas. 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 support without intermediaries, fast spare-parts availability and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. For retrofits, ASME B73.1 normalization ensures dimensional interchangeability with existing baseplates.

Service to Conchas is handled directly by the FB Bombas team at the Cabreúva/SP factory — no intermediaries, no resellers. That means direct contact with application engineering for sizing, technical quotes returned within 24h and original spare parts supplied without distributor markup. On-site technical visits to Conchas are planned based on project criticality.

Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Conchas, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
