FB Bombas Custom Solutions are tailor-made pumping projects for applications that fall outside the standard line: mobile cart-mounted units with diesel or electric motor for emergency, dewatering or temporary transfer use; manufactured skids with integrated control panel, instrumentation and piping; retrofit of legacy pumps from any manufacturer; and special engineering for critical fluids, non-standard configurations or oversized assemblies. Each project starts with a technical briefing, goes through CAD validation with our engineering team, is manufactured and tested on our own bench (documented FAT) before delivery.
LineSpecial Solutions
When a catalog pump cannot cover the application, the FB engineering team steps in. Same manufacturing park, same process discipline — with the freedom to size, specify materials and integrate components as your project demands.

FB Factory · Cabreúva-SP
Engineering that starts where the catalog ends
The FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series cover most industrial applications. When they do not, the answer still comes from the same factory: our engineering team designs the required configuration, sizes every component and validates the solution on the same factory floor where our catalog pumps are born — with the same traceability and the same rigor.
Sizing dedicated to the customer fluid, temperature and process
Validation in CAD and CFD before any cut on the factory floor
Customization of base, guarding and automation per specification
Performance testing on our own bench before shipment
From Design to Finished Product
The same flow that gives rise to our catalog series — now dedicated to your specific application
Digital Design
The configuration begins as a technical drawing in 2D CAD. CFD simulations confirm hydraulic performance under the customer's real operating conditions, before the first cut.
In-House Manufacturing
What begins as a digital design takes shape in our manufacturing park: CNC machining, assembly and integration — all in-house, with the same traceability as our catalog pumps.
Bench Testing
Every assembly goes through inspection and performance testing on our own bench before shipment. Nothing leaves the factory without validation.
Five Formats of Custom Solution
Each category starts from already-normalized and tested FBCN/FBOT/FBE hydraulics — delivered aligned, instrumented and validated on our own bench

How we design a custom solution
Every project starts on a process spreadsheet and ends on our own bench. Briefing → memorial → manufacturing → testing → shipping. All traceable, all under API 610 11th ed..
01 · Briefing
The technical briefing defines the entire project
Before any drawing, we validate: fluid (composition, viscosity at operating temperature, solids, abrasiveness), demand curve (flow, pressure, available NPSH), mechanical and electrical interfaces (flange, voltage, frequency, area classification) and what the set must deliver in the field (continuous duty, starts/hour, expected maintenance).
- 14-point fluid analysis (pH, viscosity × T, solids, NPSH)
- Base series selection: FBE/FBEI for viscous, FBCN API 610 for process, FBOT up to 350 °C
- Hazardous area classification (Ex d/Ex e) when applicable
- Milestone-driven approval timeline: memorial, P&ID, assembly, testing
02 · Configurations
Skid, retrofit or mobile set — choice driven by the operation
We do not sell shelf product. Deliverable format depends on the customer scenario: skid when there is available footprint and continuous demand; retrofit when the customer already has foundation and piping; mobile set when operation migrates between fronts (well maintenance, emergency transfer, CIP cleaning).
- Skid: pump + motor + panel + piping + base, assembled and tested
- Retrofit: new pump fitted to existing foundation, coupling and flanges
- Mobile set: pump on cart with diesel or portable electric motor
- Sets painted in safety color or customer standard (NR-26 when fire-related)
03 · Validation
Technical validation on our own bench
Every custom solution goes through the same acceptance protocol as the catalog series: for performance, hydrostatic at 1.5× design pressure at critical points. The customer receives the actual measured curve — not just the extrapolated rated curve.
- H × Q × η × NPSH curve measured on bench
- Hydrostatic pressure at 1.5× design, 30 min with no drop
- Dimensional check before final painting
- Vibration and noise evaluated with pump on water, at operating point
