Local context

FB Bombas serves Capela from its Cabreúva-SP factory, with transport via BR-101 (via BA) and application-engineering support for dimensioning according to the actual operation profile.

Technical solutions

For Capela, 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. Capela: 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. Capela typically calls for FBE+FBEI and FBCN+FBOT — an initial recommendation based on local productFit, dominant industrial cluster and identified fluid profile; final technical approval is refined by application engineering. single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment is the initial sealing configuration for Capela; secondary-plan adjustments and dual cartridges are considered based on fluid criticality and environmental requirement. 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) is the operating window initially considered for Capela — the final curve is finalized after piping-network analysis (head loss, geometric head, required vs. available NPSH). Capela: melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana suggest materials such as AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere — a choice impacting both durability and cost of the pump-and-motor set. What defines the FBE external gear pump in Capela 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

Capela: high fluid complexity, diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Capela: 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. In Capela, value added is dominated by services (30.7%, IBGE 2021), with a 2023 GDP of R$ 595 million — a profile where pumping demand concentrates on building infrastructure, sanitation, HVAC and utilities, FBCN centrifugal territory. Capela: medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. At state scale, Capela belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state. In Capela, 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 Capela, sucroalcooleiro accounts for a large share of the pumping load — combining utility lines (water, steam, compressed air) with dedicated process circuits. Capela 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. For Capela, the FBFS line offers a complete fire-protection package: main pump, jockey, control panel NFPA 20 and diesel fuel tank — scope per NFPA 20. In Capela, 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. Capela, among the 50 most populous cities in SE, maintains a relevant industrial base, sustains a predictable B2B demand chain — an ideal profile for scheduled supply and multi-year replacement contracts.

Logistics & support

Capela receives equipment within 72h to 7 days, depending on modal and dry season counted from dispatch at the Cabreúva-SP factory. Capela: critical parts (seal, bearings, wear ring) can be kept on consignment at the plant to minimize replacement time. Cabreúva-SP to Capela: 1781 km via BR-101 (via BA), a consolidated corridor with carriers qualified by FB Bombas for heavy-equipment cargo. Capela sits in a region where alternative modals (cabotage, emergency air) are considered in situations of operational urgency. Federal highways BR-101 and BR-235 make up the access network to Capela, offering routing flexibility for equipment cargo. Before shipment to Capela, each piece of equipment undergoes dimensional inspection, hydraulic testing and document verification.

Frequently Asked Questions about Capela

What is the maximum viscosity that FBE pumps can handle?

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 Capela according to the actual viscosity profile.

Does FB Bombas serve cities neighboring Capela?

Yes. The entire metropolitan region and the microregions around Capela 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.

What is the delivery lead time for pumps to Capela?

The schedule is set by three factors: chosen series, construction materials and stock at order time. Standard configurations ship faster; custom ones receive a firm date in the technical proposal. Delivery to Capela is by road, shipping directly from the factory.

Does the FBOT series serve thermal oil applications in Capela?

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.

For which applications does Capela typically demand gear pumps?

The local industrial profile concentrates demand on viscous fluid transfer — circulação de caldo e transferência de melaço em usinas. In these services, the FBE series delivers stable flow regardless of pressure and operates up to 350 °C with a heating jacket, covering from lubricating oils to asphalt and resins.

Does FB Bombas serve fire protection systems?

Yes. For stationary fire protection systems, FB Bombas produces pumps compliant with NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) and with ABNT's NBR 16704 — covering building and industrial projects that demand these certifications.

Up to what temperature can FB Bombas pumps operate?

Maximum temperature depends on the series: FBE and FBEI operate up to 350°C with heating jacket and special sealing; FBOT operates up to 350°C in thermal oil circuits; FBCN operates up to 260°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.

Are FB pumps delivered to Capela with a traceable Data Book?

They are. For each delivery to Capela, FB Bombas assembles the unit's complete technical Data Book, containing: hydraulic test certificate, material certificates — stainless steel, duplex or ductile cast iron, per spec —, ISO 21940 G2.5 balancing report, characteristic curve obtained on the bench, API 682 mechanical-seal data sheets, operation and maintenance manual and as-built drawings. Full traceability happens through the serial number.

What types of pumps does FB Bombas manufacture?

FB Bombas manufactures four major lines: FBE (external gear) for viscous fluids, FBEI (internal gear) for lubricating fluids, FBCN (normalized centrifugal) for water and low-viscosity fluids, and FBOT (specific centrifugal) for thermal oil circuits. We also serve fire protection systems in compliance with NFPA and NBR 16704.
