FBE Gear Pumps in Osvaldo Cruz

It does. FB Bombas' retrofit service for existing installations encompasses updated seals, replaced worn components, adjustment to new fluids and improved hydraulic performance. To evaluate each case, the reference is the technical report on the current installation.

Yes. The FAT (Factory Acceptance Test) is executed on the factory bench in Cabreúva/SP, with hydraulic test, characteristic-curve measurement (Q × H), hydraulic efficiency, NPSHr and ISO 10816 vibration — witnessed by customer inspection when specified. For projects in Osvaldo Cruz, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.

Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

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 Osvaldo Cruz and results in the exact model recommendation, not a generic family.

Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.

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 Osvaldo Cruz is handled by our regular road operator.

Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Osvaldo Cruz receive from FB Bombas the same technical support and logistics structure. With this regional reach, industrial plants spread across several cities are served in a coordinated manner.

Service to Osvaldo Cruz 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 Osvaldo Cruz are planned based on project criticality.

Yes. On pumps installed in Osvaldo Cruz, FB Bombas application engineering applies ISO 10816 (velocity RMS in mm/s) to diagnose misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation. The scope covers baseline captured at startup, spectral comparison throughout PM campaigns and recommendation of interventions — re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment — before the machine reaches the standard's zone D.

When there is a plant shutdown in Osvaldo Cruz, 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.
