Industrial pumps for projects in Cravinhos, São Paulo

Following the BNDES steps, first check whether the equipment appears on the list of items eligible for BNDES Finame financing, in the CFI Catalog on the bank’s website; for that check, ask the sales team for the identification of the model quoted for Cravinhos. Then apply for financing through an accredited financial agent, such as a commercial bank, development bank, development agency or credit union. The agent reviews the request and, if it approves the operation, forwards it to BNDES, which evaluates the request and authorizes the financing. Being a Brazilian manufacturer does not, on its own, show that the equipment is accredited.

It depends on the size. According to Table 2 of manual MTEC-01/01, the maximum is 2,500 SSU for sizes 1/8" to 1/4", 7,500 SSU for 3/8" to 1", 50,000 SSU for 1.1/2" to 2" and 100,000 SSU for 3" to 6". Speed decreases as viscosity rises: the drive is direct up to 7,500 SSU and, above that, by pulley or gear reducer, down to 150 rpm in the 50,000 to 100,000 SSU range. State the viscosity of the fluid for the project in Cravinhos at start-up and operating temperatures so that engineering can confirm size and speed.

It depends on the series. The published limits are up to 260 °C for the FBCN, 350 °C for the FBOT, 340 °C for the FBEI and 140 °C for the FBME. For the FBE, the 2026 catalogue gives a range of 10 °C to 500 °C; the limit of each configuration depends on materials and sealing. These are series limits: they do not automatically apply to every model, nor do they necessarily occur together with the other maximums. State the start-up, operating and cleaning temperatures of the process in Cravinhos.

The review for Cravinhos considers the fluid, flow, required pressure or head, temperature, viscosity and installation conditions. Provide what you already know and identify any equipment in use. The team checks the necessary data before confirming series, model, drive and materials.

Use the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 or comercial@fbbombas.com.br. Describe the project in Cravinhos, fluid and technical data you already have. The team reviews the application, clarifies missing information and confirms the configuration and proposal conditions.

Yes, once equivalence has been confirmed. FB Bombas replaces the installed pump with a complete FB pump and, before the order, assesses the installation and sends a data sheet and dimensional drawing. For the installation in Cravinhos, send the identification and drawing of the current pump, with its duty point, fluid, materials and drive; origin or a similar designation does not guarantee direct replacement.

FB Bombas supplies the complete FBCN and checks, model by model, the dimensions in manual MTEC-03/00 (baseplate, nozzles, flanges and shaft) and the duty point before the order. The manual states mechanical construction per ASME B73.1; dimensional interchangeability with the existing pump is not assumed and is confirmed on the drawing. Send the identification and drawing of the pump installed in Cravinhos, with flow, head, fluid, materials and drive.

The FBCN, a standardized centrifugal pump for clean or turbid liquids, with a series range of up to 2,200 m³/h and 135 m; when a higher head is required, the multistage FBME reaches 300 m. Each model has its own limits in the manual tables. For the project in Cravinhos, state the fluid and the flow and head duty point; selection checks the model curve, suction conditions, materials, drive and installation interfaces.

Send the series and model of the pump installed in Cravinhos, the operating conditions and the available vibration records; the standard, measurement points and limits are defined for the assembly, with no single limit for every pump. Check the alignment first: the FBEI (MAN001-10) and FBME (MSERV-08/01) manuals identify pump-to-motor misalignment as a source of vibration and premature wear and call for realignment after final installation, because transport usually misaligns the set, which leaves the factory pre-aligned; the stated tolerance is under 0.05 mm radial and 0.6° angular, according to the coupling supplier.

Yes. The FBOT is the FB Bombas series developed for pumping organic thermal oils. Manual MTEC-16/00 states temperatures up to 350 °C within the series range and back pull-out construction, which allows the bearing-housing assembly to be removed without disconnecting the piping; the maximum discharge pressure varies with temperature (Figure 1 of the manual), and the fluid must not contain abrasive particles. For the circuit in Cravinhos, send the oil identification and technical data sheet, the start-up and operating temperatures and the flow and head duty point; model, materials and sealing are confirmed for the circuit.
