FBE Gear Pumps in Patrocínio Paulista

It does. The standard used is ISO 10816, with velocity RMS in mm/s, and the diagnosis — conducted by FB Bombas application engineering — identifies misalignment, imbalance, bearing defects and cavitation on pumps operating in Patrocínio Paulista. At startup the baseline is captured; in PM campaigns, spectral comparison is performed; and interventions (re-balancing, bearing replacement, laser alignment) are recommended before vibration enters zone D.

They do. In the FBE and FBCN lines, wear-affected components sit in easily accessible positions, so conventional tools suffice for disassembly and inspection. Add detailed technical manuals and factory-direct availability of replacement parts — and maintenance becomes an uncomplicated routine.

Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Patrocínio Paulista count on FB Bombas technical training, structured in modules: sizing and characteristic-curve reading, identifying cavitation through NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, ISO 10816 vibration analysis and PM (preventive maintenance) practice with bearing and wear-ring replacement. Classes can happen at the customer plant or at the factory in Cabreúva/SP, in-person or hybrid format.

Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, with a factory in Cabreúva/SP and a technical team for projects in Patrocínio Paulista. The FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series cover the same applications served by imported equipment — with advantages in lead time (no import), direct factory technical support, spare parts for FB pumps themselves and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. In a normalized centrifugal retrofit, ASME B73.1 requires that units of the same standard dimension designation, from any source of supply, be interchangeable as to mounting dimensions, suction and discharge nozzles, input shaft and foundation bolt holes.

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 Patrocínio Paulista, the SAT (Site Acceptance Test) is supported by application engineering during commissioning, with startup checklist, laser alignment and baseline vibration-signature capture.

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.

Yes — Patrocínio Paulista is part of FB Bombas’ direct service area. Supply, engineering support and spare parts ship from the factory in Cabreúva/SP; sizing is done at no cost and, when the project is critical, the team evaluates an on-site technical visit.

Coverage against manufacturing defects accompanies the supply of FB pumps — the full terms appear in the commercial proposal. It holds as long as installation, operation and maintenance follow what the manual specifies and the sizing performed by engineering. Our technical team clarifies the specific conditions of your project in Patrocínio Paulista.

Yes. For projects in Patrocínio Paulista, 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.

Yes. The process starts with FB Bombas' application engineering, which studies the installed pump's specifications — flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature — and indicates the dimensional or functional technical equivalence within our series. In Patrocínio Paulista, many clients have already completed this swap and gained in lead time, cost and local support.
