FBCN Centrifugal Pumps
FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Rafard
Cabreúva-SP → Rafard (53 km via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book. The road network SP-300, SP-021, SP-330, BR-116 and BR-374, with SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021) as the main axis, defines response time for critical-part shipments and technical visits to Rafard. Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas supplies Rafard, São Paulo with the FBE, FBCN, FBOT, FBEI series and FBFS fire-fighting systems — designed and produced in Cabreúva-SP with API 610 / API 676 compliance, ASME B73.1 normalization (interchangeable with global manufacturers) and a traceable Data Book on every unit shipped. Under the IBGE Piracicaba mesoregion grouping, Rafard shares per-capita GDP, workforce profile and environmental-licensing patterns with adjacent cities — macroeconomic variables that reinforce predictability of local B2B demand. FB Bombas pumps installed in Rafard, São Paulo meet CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 (centrifugal) and API 676 (gear) compliance — credentials FB has sustained as a Brazilian manufacturer since 1944. Just 33 km separate Rafard from the sugar-and-ethanol cluster of Piracicaba — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. FB Bombas maintains an installed base in Rafard with a structure of spare parts (impeller, shaft, wear ring, cartridge mechanical seal, bearings) and scheduled preventive maintenance — direct supply from the Cabreúva-SP factory, no intermediaries. The melaço, óleos lubrificantes, caldo de cana and vinhaça profile observed in Rafard maps to a precise set of FB series: high viscosity → FBE/FBEI; water and low viscosity → FBCN; heat transfer → FBOT; fire protection → FBFS. In Rafard, Sucroalcooleiro concentrate the largest share of demand for rotating equipment — a technical agenda well known to the FB application team, with proposals sized against the actual system curve.

FBCN Centrifugal Pumps Industrial in Rafard
Local context
Cabreúva-SP → Rafard (53 km via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021)): origin of FB manufacturing since 1944, with vertical integration on a single site — CNC machining, assembly hydraulic bench and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — every unit ships with a traceable Data Book.

Technical solutions
The FB model for Rafard: 24-48h logistics lead time, with the option to accelerate via air modal or alternative routing in operational emergencies. In Rafard, FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT cover the technical range observed in the field — from primary transfer and circulation to drop-in retrofit cases (ASME B73.1 dimensional interchangeability) with global majors. Technically, FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 138 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) covers the typical range observed in Rafard, with margin for process variants (start-up, by-pass, upset conditions). Rafard, near a sucroalcooleiro cluster, deals with sugarcane juice, vinasse, molasses and thermal oil for evaporators — 24/7 operation during harvest — a technical agenda well known to FB application engineering. For melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana in Rafard, the baseline is cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — FB engineering tunes from immersion tests, field history and iron/stainless/duplex compatibility within the local fluid classes. In Rafard, transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness.
Why FB Bombas
Rafard: low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Rafard: high fluid complexity, diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Rafard: by affinity to the sucroalcooleiro cluster, concentrated harvest season (Apr-Nov) creates short maintenance windows and intense parts demand during milling — a variable that enters commercial planning. At state scale, Rafard has a specific regional profile, with industrial demand sized to its scale. In Rafard, sucroalcooleiro accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. In Rafard, melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana form the typical fluid set — guiding both series selection (gear, centrifugal, thermal oil) and constructive detail (closed/open/semi-open impeller). In Rafard, near a sucroalcooleiro cluster, applications such as juice circulation, molasses transfer, vinasse boost and thermal oil for evaporators make up the operational agenda — each backed by technical references in the FBE/FBCN/FBOT catalogues. For Rafard, the FBFS line offers a complete fire-protection package: main pump, jockey, control panel NFPA 20 and diesel fuel tank — scope per NFPA 20. Rafard shows cases like series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação — a package FB Bombas addresses with real-curve sizing, material recommendation and dimensioned seal configuration.
Logistics & support
53 km separate the Cabreúva-SP factory from Rafard via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021) — an axis sized for movement of pumps, skids and pump-and-motor sets. Logistics lead time to Rafard is 12-24h via direct road modal — variable with cargo type, season and specific optimizations. The factory-to-Rafard logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual. Alternative routing to Rafard can use SP-300, SP-021, SP-330, BR-116 and BR-374, which helps in heavy-traffic situations or maintenance on specific roads. The technical-service model in Rafard is structured as in-person technical visits with rapid mobilization — Cabreúva → customer route in a few hours.

Frequently Asked Questions about Rafard
Yes. FB Bombas serves Rafard and the entire surrounding region with supply, technical support and replacement parts directly from the factory in Cabreúva/SP. Support includes sizing at no cost and, for critical projects, on-site technical visits.
Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Rafard have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
Yes. The FBCN series complies with ASME B73.1 (North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps) — a feature that enables dimensional retrofit on existing baseplates in Rafard plants originally equipped with KSB, Sulzer, Goulds or Flowserve. Shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the standard; the rotating set is swapped without changing piping or baseplate.
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
FB Bombas holds: active CRCC at Petrobras (supplier registry for Oil & Gas); compliance with API 676 (international standard for positive displacement pumps — FBE series); compliance with API 610 (standard for centrifugal pumps in refineries — FBCN series); compliance with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) standards and ABNT NBR 16704 for stationary fire protection pump systems.
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 Rafard according to the actual viscosity profile.
The FB line covers a wide range: mineral and synthetic oils, asphalt (CAP), BPF fuel oils, petroleum derivatives, molasses, resins, viscous chemical and hydraulic products (FBE series); raw and treated water, process fluids, industrial effluents (FBCN series); thermal oil at elevated temperatures (FBOT series). Each application is sized according to fluid viscosity, temperature and chemical compatibility.
Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Rafard with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.
Yes. FBOT is FB Bombas’ specific centrifugal pump for thermal oil circuits, operating at elevated temperatures with fluids like Therminol, Dowtherm and similar. Material and sealing selection is done according to the maximum operating temperature and type of thermal oil.
