Technical solutions

Pedro Afonso: 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. In Pedro Afonso, materials such as austenitic stainless steels (AISI 304/316) with attention to thermal expansion answer the requirements of melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana — a combination that drives service life of casing, impeller, shaft and shaft sleeve, refined via corrosion analysis using removal rates (mpy). In Pedro Afonso, 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. Pedro Afonso: 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. Sitting in the technical context of a mineracao cluster, Pedro Afonso benefits from accumulated learning around diluted slurries, process water with abrasive solids and slurry pumps when applicable. The applicable operating envelope spans 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) — sufficient for most industrial applications identified in Pedro Afonso. Lead time for critical parts to Pedro Afonso is typically 96h to 7 days — a function of distance (1599 km) and the available road modal.

Why FB Bombas

The demand profile in Pedro Afonso reflects medium density — regular and predictable opportunity pipeline. Pedro Afonso belongs to the set of cities with relevant industrial scale in the state — a feature that enters the sizing of the service strategy. Typical seasonality of the mineracao cluster (24/7 operation with annual scheduled outages — concentrated PM windows and continuous demand for critical parts) directly impacts supply scheduling and PMs in Pedro Afonso. Fluid-roster complexity in Pedro Afonso is high — diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Economically, delivery to Pedro Afonso brings logistics is a significant economic factor — order consolidation and integrated packages are recommended. sucroalcooleiro operations in Pedro Afonso demand continuous pumping of process fluids, with preventive-maintenance windows aligned to plant scheduled outages. Typical fluids handled in Pedro Afonso (melaço, óleos lubrificantes and caldo de cana) require careful selection of seal and coating materials — a central variable in pump sizing. Fire protection systems (NFPA 20 / ABNT NBR 16704) are a recurring application in industrial plants in Pedro Afonso — scope covered by FB Bombas' FBFS line. The mineracao cluster near Pedro Afonso brings applications such as process-water booster, slurry pumping, pit dewatering and tailings dam services — a repertoire FB Bombas serves with dedicated series and field-validated materials. Pedro Afonso, among the 50 most populous cities in TO, maintains a relevant industrial base, offers a continuous pipeline of technical opportunities — from retrofit to greenfield. Typical use cases identified for Pedro Afonso: series FBE+FBEI for transferência de melaço and dosagem de aditivos and series FBCN+FBOT for circulação de caldo and destilação.

FB Bombas has been manufacturing industrial pumps since 1944, with over 82 years of continuous experience. The factory in Cabreúva/SP operates with engineering, manufacturing and testing under one roof, ensuring total quality control on every unit supplied to Pedro Afonso and all of Brazil.

Yes. The FBCN series follows ASME B73.1 normalization (North American dimensional standard for end-suction process pumps) — which makes the pump-and-motor set interchangeable with global manufacturers (KSB, Sulzer, Goulds, Flowserve) already installed in plants in Pedro Afonso. For retrofits, the existing baseplate, suction/discharge piping and foundations are usually preserved; what changes is the rotating set. FB application engineering performs the dimensional gap analysis prior to supply.

Shorter delivery times (no import dependency), direct technical support from FB engineering, replacement parts with in-house manufacturing, prices in local currency (no exchange rate exposure) and on-site service for projects in Pedro Afonso and surrounding areas. FB Bombas has been manufacturing in Brazil since 1944.
