FBCN Centrifugal Pumps in Sertãozinho

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.

Who serves Sertãozinho 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 Sertãozinho are added to the plan.

Yes. Existing installations can undergo retrofit with FB Bombas — the scope covers seal upgrades, swapping worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance gains. A technical report on the current installation serves as the basis for the assessment.

For water, condensate and low-viscosity fluids, the recommendation is the FBCN standardized centrifugal — 53 models with bench-tested curves and back-pull-out maintenance, which frees the rotating assembly without dismantling the piping. The exact model comes from the circuit’s flow × head pair.

It does. FB Bombas' technical training program for operators and maintainers in Sertãozinho covers: characteristic-curve reading and sizing, cavitation identified via NPSH, mechanical-seal troubleshooting, laser alignment, vibration analyzed per ISO 10816 and preventive maintenance (PM) practice, including bearing and wear-ring replacement. Location and format are flexible — customer plant or the Cabreúva/SP factory, in person or hybrid.

It is. A Brazilian manufacturer since 1944, FB Bombas runs its factory in Cabreúva/SP and keeps a technical team focused on projects in Sertãozinho. Across the duty ranges currently held by imported lines, the FBCN (centrifugal), FBE/FBEI (gear) and FBOT (thermal oil) series offer equivalent coverage, with better lead times by dispensing with imports, factory-direct technical support, spare parts for FB pumps and Portuguese-speaking application engineering. On a normalized pump, the existing baseplate is preserved when the ASME B73.1 dimension designation matches — which the standard makes independent of the installed brand.

For critical parts (mechanical seal, impeller, shaft, wear ring, bearings) during a plant shutdown in Sertãozinho, FB Bombas runs an emergency flow: pre-invoicing, priority dispatch and alternative modal (express road or air transport depending on distance and criticality). Typical lead time varies by region, with a window negotiable case by case. For customers with an installed base and scheduled PM, part of the stock can be kept on consignment at the plant.

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 Sertãozinho, with benefits in lead time, cost and local support.

Yes. For projects in Sertãozinho, 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 FBE and FBCN lines were designed with easy access to wear-prone components, allowing disassembly and inspection with conventional tools. Detailed technical manuals and direct factory replacement parts availability simplify maintenance routines.
