Internal gear pump FBEI Series

It is a positive-displacement pump with two internally meshing gears. For FBEI, the manual identifies the rotor with shaft, internal gear and geometry separating suction from discharge. Chambers carry liquid during rotation; selection requires fluid and duty-point data.

The catalog positions FBEI for viscous-liquid transfer. To assess oil, resin, adhesive, paint or another product, provide composition, viscosity at startup and during operation, temperature, solids, and material and sealing requirements. Compatibility depends on the selected configuration, not just the fluid name.

Compare fluid, viscosity, flow, differential pressure, speed, materials and installation space. The FBEI catalog describes internal gears, self-priming and reversibility, but does not provide a comparative pulsation, noise or shear test against FBE. Request selection for your duty rather than assuming universal superiority of either technology.

The catalog describes elevated-temperature duties subject to configuration. This is distinct from the optional jacket: MAN001-10 p.4 specifies steam up to 185 °C and 10 bar or thermal fluid up to 232 °C and 10 bar for its circuit. Confirm pumped-fluid, material, sealing and heating limits for the proposed model.

In the FBEI catalog, LS identifies the 3″ nominal size, corresponding to model LS3 in MAN001-10. The catalog publishes a maximum flow of 45 m³/h for this size; the applicable flow depends on operating conditions. LS does not designate a separate large-capacity family. Supply with motor and speed reducer must be specified with the technical team.

The FBEI catalog lists an assembly with motor and speed reducer among the supply options. The drive type and specification depend on process conditions. Share the fluid, viscosity, temperature, flow, pressure and operating regime for assessment by the technical team.

FBEI is the FB Bombas internal gear pump series for transferring viscous liquids. MAN001-10 documents ten models from 1″ to 4″; the current catalog presents six sizes from 1½″ to 6″. These documents have different coverage. Materials, sealing, drive and accessories are specified for the fluid and operating conditions.

Compare the duty point and drawings of the installed pump and proposed configuration: connections, flanges, shaft height, mounting and drive. Size or series name does not establish interchangeability. MAN001-10 provides ten dimensional models; the current catalog presents six sizes, including N 6″. Request installation data for N from the technical team.

Model pages use three MAN001-10 drawings: Fig.8 for HL12, KK2, LQ21, LS3 and M4; Fig.11 for GG1 and HJ12; Fig.12 for AS3, AK3 and AL3. The manual also shows HL12 in Fig.11 with different dimensions; this site’s HL12 page uses Fig.8. These dimensional groups alone do not establish materials, reinforced construction or accessories for every supplied pump.

To assess asphalt, bitumen or heavy oil, provide composition, solids content, viscosity at startup and operating temperatures, flow and pressures. The catalog positions FBEI for viscous-liquid transfer; suitability for a specific product depends on materials, sealing, heating and drive selection. A fluid name does not automatically approve every model.

The catalog lists body and support options in cast iron, ductile iron, carbon steel and stainless steel. Bronze is among the bushing options. The manual shows mechanical seal and packing; the catalog also lists single, double and cartridge seals. Confirm alloy, sealing and availability for the specified configuration and fluid.

MAN001-10 covers identification, parts, dimensions, transport, storage, installation, operation and alignment. The available edition is revision 00, dated 27 September 2010, in Portuguese. It contains conflicting startup instructions on pages 5 and 13; confirm the applicable procedure with technical support rather than following an isolated PDF sequence. The current catalog supplements series options and does not replace the supplied equipment data sheet.

The MAN001-10 p.7 exploded view identifies the rotor with shaft and the internal gear. The crescent geometry separates suction and discharge paths, transferring liquid by positive displacement. For a sensitive fluid, state temperature and product-change limits; the construction principle alone does not establish low shear, noise or pulsation for every duty.

Check protection in the supplied configuration. The catalog lists a relief valve among series items; MAN001-10 p.4 requires external protection when the pump has no relief valve. Relief must not regulate pressure or flow or remain open for prolonged periods. Confirm the setting, orientation and startup procedure for the installation.

For technical procurement, request the current supplier registration and check its validity, product families and covered requirements. Petrobras uses the Certificado de Registro Cadastral (CRC), which replaced CRCC. Registration qualifies the supplier against the stated criteria; it does not automatically certify an FBEI pump or the whole series. Check the documents applicable to the quoted supply.

Lead time is stated in the quotation based on model, materials, sealing, drive, accessories and documentation scope. Compare equivalent quotations, including freight and delivery terms. Factory location alone does not establish stock availability or a shorter lead time than another option.

The FBEI technical quotation is requested directly from the application engineering team. Provide the fluid (with viscosity and temperature), required flow, discharge pressure, available NPSH and desired materials. The official technical manual MAN001-10 — with dimensions of all 10 catalogued models, operating principle, sealing options, installation requirements and recommended spare parts — is available free at /en/technical-manuals/fbei. The PDF is in Portuguese; the website reference pages are trilingual.
