Technical summary
For industrial water and low-viscosity fluids in cerâmica (Criciúma, Santa Catarina), FB engineering recommends FBOT. API 610 compliance and hydraulic testing, 48-72h lead time from Cabreúva-SP.


In Criciúma, Cerâmica and Plásticos concentrate the largest share of demand for rotating equipment — a technical agenda well known to the FB application team, with proposals sized against the actual system curve. Cerâmica operations in Criciúma map to the FB Bombas FBOT series. FBOT pumps for furnace heating and ceramic processes requiring precise temperature control. Certified characteristic curve covers High temperature, Continuous operation, Extreme durability. In Criciúma, resinas, aditivos, barbotina and água make up the fluid portfolio served by local plants — each with its own requirements on available NPSH, in-service viscosity and sealing strategy (Plan 11/13/52/53 by criticality). Criciúma, Santa Catarina is territory where FB Bombas operates as a Brazilian industrial-pump manufacturer with 80 years of continuous operation. For the cerâmica industrial profile dominating the region, we offer the FBOT series with CRCC Petrobras certification, API 610 / API 676 compliance and ASME B73.1 normalization — basis for retrofit in plants with global manufacturers already installed. Criciúma is served by the BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt axis and also by highways BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282 for heavy-cargo movement — relevant for delivery of mounted skids and large pump-and-motor sets. Just 209 km separate Criciúma from the port cluster of Itajai — a distance that enables joint technical visits and dilution of mobilization cost across multiple customers. CRCC Petrobras certification valid in SC qualifies FB Bombas for direct supply to Criciúma in refining and petrochemical operations, with FBE and FBCN series compliant with API 610 / API 676 and materials specified per NACE MR0175 for sour service with H2S. Membership in the Sul Catarinense mesoregion (IBGE) places Criciúma in a regional economic mesh — a factor FB Bombas uses to optimize multi-city maintenance campaigns and consolidate freight across customers along the same axis. Service to Criciúma is coordinated from the Cabreúva-SP factory, route BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt (636 km), with a technical team for selection, commissioning and replacement support.

In Criciúma, dosagem de aditivos, alimentação de prensas and resfriamento de injetoras form the typical-use portfolio — guiding series selection, sealing configuration and internal coating according to fluid abrasiveness or aggressiveness. 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 Criciúma; secondary-plan adjustments and dual cartridges are considered based on fluid criticality and environmental requirement. For resinas, aditivos and barbotina, the materials recommendation in Criciúma converges on AISI 316 or for chloride resistance in marine atmosphere, a starting point adjustable based on field-observed corrosion. In Criciúma, influence from the portuario cluster translates into bunker fuel oil (BPF), seawater for cooling and liquid bulk movement — variables that enter both preliminary sizing and the selection of materials and constructive configurations. Technical fit in Criciúma points to FBEI and FBOT as the series suitable for typical local operations — a baseline recommendation; the final specification depends on the specific process parameters. Technical-and-commercial support for Criciúma is covered from Cabreúva-SP, with typical lead time for critical parts of 48-72h via dedicated carrier.
Criciúma: very high industrial concentration — territory for multi-customer technical-visit campaigns — a variable influencing commercial strategy and service logistics. Criciúma: high fluid complexity, diversified fluid roster — requires a broad catalogue of materials and sealing configurations. Criciúma: balanced logistics — freight is a contained fraction of equipment cost — a relevant input for pricing and commercial strategy. Criciúma: by affinity to the portuario cluster, continuous flow with seasonality tied to agricultural harvests (bulk) and fuel supply — a variable that enters commercial planning. In Criciúma, cerâmica plants concentrate recurring demand for centrifugal pumps for utilities and positive-displacement pumps for viscous fluids. In Criciúma, series FBEI for dosagem de aditivos and series FBOT for alimentação de prensas and resfriamento de injetoras — a combination that covers the typical local industrial demand. Due to proximity to the portuario cluster, Criciúma shares a technical agenda with bunker (BPF fuel oil), marine cooling water and liquid-bulk discharge — a direct path to series and materials selection. Working with resinas, aditivos and barbotina in Criciúma demands attention to viscosity at operating temperature, residual abrasiveness and chemical compatibility — criteria FB engineering applies on every project. Criciúma among the 10 most populous cities in SC, is a regional benchmark of economic activity — a scale that translates into regular demand for rotating equipment.
The main logistics axis between Cabreúva-SP and Criciúma is BR-116 Rodovia Régis Bittencourt, totaling 636 km — a route that sets the default delivery time for finished equipment. Beyond the main route, Criciúma is accessible via BR-116, BR-101 and BR-282 — options that provide redundancy in case of blockages or restricted operating windows. Typical transit time to Criciúma: 24-48h via federal highways — the window used in FB Bombas' standard commercial commitment. Dispatch from the Cabreúva-SP factory to Criciúma occurs after bench hydraulic testing and Data Book verification — mandatory steps in FB's quality control. Technical-service coverage for Criciúma involves planned technical visits with 1-2 day mobilization window — direct coordination with the customer.

FB Bombas manufactures three 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.
Yes. FB Bombas is a Brazilian manufacturer accredited in FINAME (BNDES Special Industrial Financing Agency), which qualifies equipment supplied to Criciúma for BNDES Finame financing lines (Industrial Working Capital, Modernization, Capital Goods) with preferential conditions for national industry. The commercial team provides the product FINAME code on the technical proposal for inclusion in the customer financial plan.
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 Criciúma, optimizing the flow/pressure/power ratio.
The FB Bombas rotating set is balanced per ISO 21940 G2.5 (a balancing grade equivalent to API 610 requirements for heavy-duty service) — required for critical projects in Criciúma with continuous regime, plants with online vibration monitoring or applications with high cost of unplanned downtime. For machines running above 3,600 RPM or with rotating mass over 50 kg, balancing is performed on two planes with a piezoelectric sensor.
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 Criciúma and all of Brazil.
Yes. FB Bombas offers retrofit of existing installations, including seal upgrades, replacement of worn components, adaptation for new fluids and hydraulic performance improvement. The assessment is based on a technical report of the current installation.
Yes. FB Bombas’ application engineering analyzes the installed pump specifications (flow, pressure, viscosity, temperature) and proposes dimensional or functional technical equivalence with one of our series. Many clients in Criciúma have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.
