FBE Gear Pumps

FBE Gear Pumps in Piquete

Piquete requires pumping of óleos industriais and água industrial, a fluid set for which FB Bombas already has product series with field-validated material selection. In Piquete, São Paulo, FB Bombas serves local industry projects with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT and FBEI series — dedicated application engineering for sizing against the actual system curve, CRCC Petrobras certification and technical compliance with ASME B73.1 (centrifugal), API 676 (gear) and NFPA 20 / NBR 16704 (fire fighting). Road access runs via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021), with branches through SP-300, SP-021, SP-330, BR-116 and BR-374 — a corridor that sets delivery times for rotating equipment and the logistics of technical service. For projects in Piquete that demand formal technical qualification, FB Bombas series cover ASME B73.1 (FBCN), API 676 (FBE/FBEI), NFPA 20 and NBR 16704 (FBFS systems) — a combination that removes the need for additional suppliers across fire-fighting and process scope. Within IBGE mesoregion Vale do Paraíba Paulista, Piquete shares economic context with adjacent municipalities, shaping typical pump specifications and the frequency of synchronized maintenance campaigns. Only 95 km from the refining cluster of Sao Jose Dos Campos, Piquete benefits from logistics spillover and movement of technical professionals — FB Bombas has a service track record in the region. Based in Cabreúva-SP at 214 km via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021), FB Bombas delivers to Piquete industrial pumps manufactured in-house since 1944 plus continuous technical support.

Technical solutions

What defines the FBE external gear pump in Piquete is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of óleos e água industrial. Two installation requirements follow from this physics: a sized relief valve on the discharge and, for fluids that harden when cold, a heating jacket on the pump body. FBEI and FBCN: this is the set of FB series with initial technical fit for Piquete, respecting fluid characteristics and the regional operating regime. In Piquete, transferência geral and utilidades form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. 100% of pumps bound for Piquete pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.

Why FB Bombas

The low fluid-complexity profile in Piquete (lean fluid roster — technical operation focused on few main vectors) shapes FB's technical strategy: standardization versus case-by-case customization. With a GDP of R$ 227 million (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 19.5% of value added (2021), Piquete combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. Piquete shows a low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume pattern, a structural factor that modulates predictability of recurring revenue and the viable contract type (spot, annual, multi-year). Working with óleos industriais and água industrial in Piquete demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. In Piquete, series FBEI for transferência geral and series FBCN for utilidades — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the refino cluster, Piquete shares a technical agenda with crude transfer, distillation-tower circulation, charge pumps for reactors and movement of derivatives — a direct path to series and materials selection.

Logistics & support

For Piquete, 12-24h via direct road modal is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. Cabreúva-SP → Piquete via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021) (214 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. For Piquete, FB dispatch is preceded by: hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run with curve points, G2.5 dynamic balancing and Data Book closure — all traceable by serial number.

Frequently Asked Questions about Piquete

How to request a pump quote for Piquete?

Three paths lead to a quote: the website form, WhatsApp +55 11 97287-4837 and the email comercial@fbbombas.com.br. With the application data in hand (fluid, flow, pressure, temperature), the technical team returns a proposal already sized for your scenario in Piquete.

Does FB Bombas offer FAT and SAT support for projects in Piquete?

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

Can FB Bombas pumps be financed via BNDES / FINAME in Piquete?

Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Piquete 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.

Does FB Bombas perform on-site technical visits in Piquete?

Yes. For projects in Piquete, 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.

How is pump sizing performed?

Sizing is performed by FB Bombas’ application engineering team based on four key variables: desired flow, differential pressure, working temperature and fluid viscosity. Additional data such as available NPSH, operating cycle and fluid chemical compatibility are also considered. The service is free of charge for customers in Piquete.

What type of mechanical seal do FB pumps use?

It depends on the service: fluid, temperature and operating pressure determine the configuration, which engineering defines. Available options are single seal, double seal (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge version and, in specific applications, packing glands. Hazardous fluids call for a double seal with barrier — that is the recommended option.

Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?

Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — which enables retrofit on existing baseplates in Piquete plants, whoever manufactured the installed unit, provided the dimension designation matches. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard: the complete FBCN pump goes in and piping and baseplate stay put.

What is the warranty on FB pumps?

FB pumps are supplied with a warranty against manufacturing defects according to the terms detailed in the commercial proposal. The warranty assumes installation, operation and maintenance within the parameters specified in the manual and sizing performed by engineering. Consult our technical team for specific details of your project in Piquete.

Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?

Yes. FB Bombas manufactures pumps for stationary fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and ABNT NBR 16704 standards, serving building and industrial projects that require these certifications.

Does FB Bombas offer technical training for operators in Piquete?

Yes. Operations and maintenance teams in Piquete 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.
