Technical solutions
Ribeirão Preto receives equipment after hydraulic testing and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — traceable report attached to the Data Book. Ribeirão Preto: transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, circulação de caldo and destilação. This application mix is covered by the recommended FB series, with case-by-case fine tuning. Ribeirão Preto: single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — a configuration FB Bombas uses as initial reference; refinement depends on risk class and applicable environmental regulation. For melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana, the materials recommendation in Ribeirão Preto converges on cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. Technical-and-commercial support for Ribeirão Preto is covered from Cabreúva-SP, with typical lead time for critical parts of 24-48h via dedicated carrier. Technical fit in Ribeirão Preto points to FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. The applicable operating envelope spans FBCN centrifugal pumps with flow up to 2,200 m³/h, head up to 135 m and temperature up to 260°C (thermal oil via FBOT up to 350°C) — sufficient for most industrial applications identified in Ribeirão Preto. In viscous fluid services in Ribeirão Preto, the FBE works where centrifugals lose efficiency: gear volumetric efficiency improves with viscosity, covering up to 100,000 SSU and 350 °C with a heating jacket — the typical case of caldo de cana, melaço e vinhaça. The design counterpart is mandatory — a discharge line protected by a relief valve, because positive displacement does not tolerate blockage.

Which FB pumps are used in sugar and ethanol mills in Ribeirão Preto?
In sugar and ethanol mills, the FBE series is used for molasses and final honey transfer due to high viscosity; FBCN serves juice, vinasse and imbibition water circulation; FBOT feeds thermal oil circuits that heat evaporators and vacuum pans. Selection depends on each stage of the production process.
Do FBCN pumps follow ASME B73.1 dimensional compliance?
They do. The FBCN series dimensionally meets ASME B73.1, the North American standard for horizontal end-suction process centrifugal pumps. In practice, a Ribeirão Preto plant running a normalized pump of the same designation achieves retrofit on the already-installed baseplate: since shaft dimensions, suction/discharge flanges, casing feet and impeller centerline follow the same standard, the FBCN pump takes the place of the previous one — piping and baseplate stay intact. Hydraulic equivalence (Q×H and NPSH) is checked separately, on the data sheet.
Does FB Bombas have a representative in Ribeirão Preto?
Who serves Ribeirão Preto 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 Ribeirão Preto are added to the plan.
Does FB Bombas serve cities neighboring Ribeirão Preto?
Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Ribeirão Preto 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.
Are FB pumps energy efficient?
Yes. Correct sizing is the main lever for energy efficiency — an oversized or undersized pump wastes energy. FB Bombas engineering calculates the optimal operating point considering the actual process conditions in Ribeirão Preto, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
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 Ribeirão Preto.
Is it possible to replace an imported pump with an FB Bombas pump?
It is. From the data of the pump in operation (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature), FB Bombas' application engineering proposes a technical equivalence — dimensional or functional — with one of our series. This replacement has already been done by many clients in Ribeirão Preto, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.
Can FB Bombas pumps be financed via BNDES / FINAME in Ribeirão Preto?
Yes. As a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME — the BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency —, FB Bombas qualifies equipment supplied to Ribeirão Preto 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.
What is the balancing grade of FB pumps for critical projects in Ribeirão Preto?
ISO 21940 G2.5 is the grade applied to the rotating set of FB Bombas pumps — direct equivalence with what API 610 asks for heavy-duty service. Critical projects in Ribeirão Preto depend on this standard: continuous-regime operation, online vibration monitoring at the plant or high cost tied to unplanned downtime. When rotation exceeds 3,600 RPM or rotating mass goes over 50 kg, two-plane balancing is executed using a piezoelectric sensor.
Does FB Bombas serve large industrial plants in Ribeirão Preto?
Yes — including supplies with full documentation requirements: data book, material certificates, witnessed FAT tests and traceability. The active Petrobras CRCC, API 676/ASME B73.1 compliance and API 610 engineered-to-order projects support contracts with large industrial operators in the Ribeirão Preto region.
