Technical solutions

Technically, 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) covers the typical range observed in Catanduva, with margin for process variants (start-up, by-pass, upset conditions). Material selection for melaço, óleos lubrificantes and óleos comestíveis in Catanduva considers cast iron with proper coating or stainless steels when the fluid requires — a specification FB Bombas details on a matweb sheet after fluid chemical analysis. For Catanduva, FB delivery includes conformance certificates against ASME B73.1 for horizontal normalized centrifugal pumps — consolidated market standard — documentation typically required during commissioning audits and qualification processes. Technical fit in Catanduva 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 technical profile of the sucroalcooleiro cluster near Catanduva involves sugarcane juice, vinasse, molasses and thermal oil for evaporators — 24/7 operation during harvest — information that guides preliminary sizing of FB series. Typical applications mapped for Catanduva include transferência de melaço, dosagem de aditivos, transferência de óleos and circulação de caldo — each with its own requirements for NPSH, acceptable pulsation and start-up strategy. Recommended sealing for the operation profile in Catanduva is single cartridge mechanical seal (Plan 11/13) for general service, upgradable to dual when the fluid requires secondary containment — a choice that affects MTBF and maintenance procedure. 100% of pumps bound for Catanduva pass through the Cabreúva-SP hydraulic bench — acceptance testing with multi-point curve readings and G2.5 dynamic balancing.

Frequently Asked Questions about Catanduva

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.

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.

Mechanical seal configuration is defined by engineering according to the fluid, temperature and operating pressure. Options include single seals, double seals (tandem or back-to-back), cartridge seals and packing glands for specific applications. For hazardous fluids, double seals with barrier are recommended.

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 Catanduva according to the actual viscosity profile.

Yes. FB Bombas serves the entire metropolitan region and microregions neighboring Catanduva with the same technical support and logistics structure. This regional reach allows serving industrial plants distributed across multiple cities in a coordinated way.

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 Catanduva have already made this replacement with gains in lead time, cost and local support.

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 250°C with proper materials and sealing. Correct sizing of sealing and materials is essential for safe operation.
