Local context
Cabreúva-SP → Saltinho (76 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
For Saltinho, the FB protocol includes hydrostatic test at 1.5× design pressure, performance run and ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing — all documented in the Data Book. Technical fit in Saltinho 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 sucroalcooleiro cluster near Saltinho brings a technical agenda of sugarcane juice, vinasse, molasses and thermal oil for evaporators — 24/7 operation during harvest — a reference FB Bombas uses as a benchmark for initial sizing and series selection. Saltinho: 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. Saltinho: melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana suggest materials such as cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. What defines the FBE external gear pump in Saltinho is its behavior under variable pressure: being positive displacement, flow follows speed and practically ignores backpressure swings in the line — the typical case of caldo de cana, melaço e vinhaça. 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.
Why FB Bombas
Saltinho: high fluid complexity, diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Saltinho: low industrial density — typically standalone projects, without regional cumulative volume — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. With a GDP of R$ 471 million (IBGE, 2023) and industry accounting for 20.7% of value added (2021), Saltinho combines productive plants with a strong services sector — the typical mix demanding utility centrifugals and process pumps in parallel. Saltinho: 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. The fluid catalogue in Saltinho (melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana) demands case-by-case technical analysis: pour point, Saybolt viscosity at operating temperature, suspended solids and pH profile. The microregion around Saltinho concentrates industrial plants with complementary technical demand — opening room for integrated supply, best-practice exchange and operational benchmarking. The sucroalcooleiro cluster around Saltinho concentrates applications juice circulation, molasses transfer, vinasse boost and thermal oil for evaporators — a technical package where FB Bombas has commissioning, retrofit and long-term support history. sucroalcooleiro plants in Saltinho sustain a continuous pipeline of technical demand — from scheduled replacement to ASME B73.1 dimensional retrofit replacing imported equipment. Use cases in Saltinho (series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação) follow the FB technical playbook with benchmarking against an analogous installed base in a comparable region.
Logistics & support
For Saltinho, 12-24h via direct road modal is the standard contractual transit window — compressible via emergency air modal for critical parts, on specific demand. For Saltinho, FB service follows the in-person technical visits with rapid mobilization — Cabreúva → customer route in a few hours model — application engineers conduct pre-scheduled visits while remote support via documentation and phone covers point queries. Cabreúva-SP → Saltinho via SP-300 Rodovia Marechal Rondon (via Rodoanel SP-021) (76 km): a corridor with regular FB freight history, supporting indivisible loads and sets with escort when the gauge demands. The SP-300, SP-021, SP-330, BR-116 and BR-374 mesh provides logistics redundancy for Saltinho — when one route is restricted (rains, construction, accidents), delivery is rerouted without compromising the critical lead time. The factory-to-Saltinho logistics cycle begins with documented dispatch: invoice, packing list, test certificates and the equipment's technical manual.
