FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Lençóis Paulista

In the pulp and paper industry, the FBCN series is the primary choice for pulp, black liquor, process water and effluent pumping. FBE serves applications with starch, glue and viscous additives. FBOT circulates thermal oil in dryers and calenders.

Four pillars: a current Petrobras CRCC registration for Oil & Gas; API 676 (positive displacement) on the FBE series; ASME B73.1 (process centrifugals) on the FBCN series; and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 compliance for stationary fire pumps.

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 Lençóis Paulista, optimizing flow, pressure and power together.

Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Lençóis Paulista for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods), with preferential conditions for national industry. On the technical proposal, the commercial team includes the product's FINAME code to enter the customer's financial plan.

Yes. With a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team dedicated to projects in Lençóis Paulista, FB Bombas has manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil since 1944. Applications currently running on imported equipment are covered by the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series — adding advantages in lead time (no import), factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and application engineering that works in Portuguese. In a normalized-line retrofit, the interchangeability set out in ASME B73.1 holds between units of the same standard dimension designation, whatever the original supplier.

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 Lençóis Paulista according to the actual viscosity profile.

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 Lençóis Paulista and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.

Yes. On the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP the FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is carried out: hydraulic test with characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. The SAT (Site Acceptance Test) on Lençóis Paulista projects counts on application engineering during commissioning, including startup checklist, laser alignment and recording of the baseline vibration signature.

The local industrial profile concentrates demand on viscous fluid transfer — circulação de licor e recalque de água branca. In these services, the FBE series delivers stable flow regardless of pressure and operates up to 350 °C with a heating jacket, covering from lubricating oils to asphalt and resins.

Who serves Lençóis Paulista is the FB Bombas factory team itself in Cabreúva/SP. In practice: direct access to application engineering for sizing, a complete technical quotation returned within 3-5 business days and original parts supplied at factory pricing. Depending on project criticality, on-site technical visits to Lençóis Paulista are added to the plan.
