Pump, drive and accessories integrated on a base, with a scope defined by your process. Compare configurations and prepare flow, pressure, fluid and installation data for the technical proposal.
A skid brings pumping components together on a common frame. The supply list may include the pump, drive, panel, instruments, valves and internal piping, depending on the project. The proposal should identify installation interfaces and the assembly, alignment and commissioning activities planned at the factory and on site.
Each configuration designed by FB Bombas engineering
Describe the service and the required scope of supply. Include the liquid, flow rate, pressure, connection points and proposed drive. If a project specification or drawing is available, send it with your enquiry.
For a custom assembly, see the pump skid solution.
For a fire protection system, consult the fire pump skid guide and include the project requirements.
Fire-protection configuration defined by the hydraulic design and applicable installation requirements. Confirm the pumps, drives, controllers, instruments, valves and documents included in the proposal.
Applications: Hydrants (NBR 13714), sprinklers (NBR 10897), mixed networks, underground and surface pump houses.
An assembly for assessing fuel transfer from the specified liquid, viscosity and temperature. The design must define materials, sealing, drive, overpressure protection and the electrical requirements of the installation area.
Applications: Captive stations, agricultural and mining fleet refueling, internal transfer at refineries, diesel generator feeding.
FBOT pump specially designed for thermal oil up to 350 °C — mechanical seal immersed in the bearing-housing oil, graphite packing, expansion vessel, drain and thermal insulation. For paint, asphalt, fine chemical, surface treatment and process heating industries via thermal fluid.
Applications: Thermal oil boilers, cardboard presses, paint and varnish dryers, polymerization processes.
Pump + motor + accessories mounted on cart with pneumatic wheels — portable skid version for applications that change location. Electric drive (most common) or diesel (open-field autonomy). Useful in civil construction, mining, agriculture and emergency operations.
Applications: Well dewatering, temporary transfer at construction sites, emergency pumping during industrial shutdowns.
What to assess when integrating pumps, drives and interfaces
Define which activities will take place at the factory and which remain necessary on site. The schedule depends on the configuration, interfaces and installation works.
Assembly on a common base allows interfaces and checks to be organized together. After transport and installation, check alignment, piping support and start-up preparation according to the component manuals.
Allow space for inspection, component removal and instrument access. The maintenance strategy should consider the installed package, process criticality and the spares specified for the project.
Compare proposals with the same scope: equipment, assembly, interfaces, documentation and installation. Include the cost and responsibility for each stage; economic return depends on actual project conditions.
Technical answers from FB engineering
The proposal defines the supply scope: pump and drive, base, interconnections and, where specified, panels, instruments and valves. Request the component list and supply boundaries to compare the proposal with your project.
A motor-pump set combines the pump and drive. A skid may integrate further components and interconnections on a common base. The practical difference lies in the supply list and defined interfaces; field installation and commissioning remain subject to the design and manuals.
Lead time depends on the configuration, components and approved scope. Confirm the design, manufacturing, documentation and shipment milestones in the proposal.
Provide flow, pressure, fluid, temperature, duty regime, drive, available space and installation requirements. Engineering assesses the configuration and supply boundaries; dimensions and components must be confirmed in the approved drawing and proposal.
Fire-pump package requirements depend on the design and the authority responsible for the installation. NFPA 20 and ABNT NBR 16704 are design references, not certification seals issued to FB Bombas. Confirm the documents, tests, listings and responsibilities required for purchase and local acceptance.
