Direct export to Latin America for decades
For over 82 years we have manufactured industrial pumps in Brazil — and for decades we have been bringing that engineering to Latin America. We serve 10 LATAM countries (Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay and Bolivia) with gear (FBE/FBEI) and centrifugal (FBCN/FBOT) pumps engineered for the most critical fluids.
Our team is fluent in Portuguese, English and Spanish, knows the foreign trade requirements of each country, and offers engineering adapted to each market. This is why mining, sugar-ethanol, chemical and petrochemical industries in LATAM choose FB Bombas as a long-term partner.

Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.
Industrial profile of Cochabamba
With an economy built on textiles, chemicals and agribusiness, Cochabamba — one of Bolivia's relevant industrial hubs — concentrates pumping services ranging from viscous process fluids to water and utilities. FB Bombas serves this spectrum with in-house manufacturing in Brazil and application engineering dedicated to export.
Bolivia's grid: 50 Hz
Projects in Cochabamba must account for Bolivia's grid frequency: 50 Hz. In practice, 2-pole motors run at ~2,900 rpm and 4-pole at ~1,450 rpm — and flow and head vary with speed per the affinity laws. FB adjusts impeller and motor selection to the real duty point at the local frequency.
FB series for the local profile
Given the textiles, chemicals and agribusiness profile, the technical starting point in Cochabamba is FBCN, FBE and FBOT. The FBE (external gear, API 676 compliance) covers viscous process fluids — oils, resins, derivatives — with stable flow and operation up to 350 °C; the FBCN (standardized centrifugal, ASME B73.1 compliance) handles water, utilities and light fluids. For thermal oil circuits — common in textile, timber and chemical sectors — the dedicated FBOT series operates up to 350 °C.
Export and logistics
The export proposal for Cochabamba settles the three logistics variables at once — Incoterm, modal and schedule — over the reference distance of ~2,087 km in a straight line from Cabreúva-SP. Worth noting: Bolivia is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Frequently asked questions — Cochabamba
Does FB Bombas export to Cochabamba?
Cochabamba is within the export area served by FB Bombas from the factory in Cabreúva-SP. Every supply ships with an agreed Incoterm, industrial packaging and the destination's documentation package — and Bolivia is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Do the pumps work on Bolivia's 50 Hz grid?
That check is part of sizing: speed at 50 Hz (~2,900/1,450 rpm at 2/4 poles) shifts the pump curve, and FB engineering adjusts impeller and motor so the duty point lands where the project needs it.
Is technical documentation available in Spanish?
Yes. Catalogs, series specifications and the FB Bombas website are available in Spanish and Portuguese — and the export technical proposal ships with documentation in the project language.
How does parts replacement work in Bolivia?
Whoever builds the pump builds the part: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits come from the same Cabreúva-SP plant and ship to Bolivia through the agreed export flow — traceability of the critical item stays with a single responsible party.
Which series does FB recommend for textiles in Cochabamba?
FBCN, FBE and FBOT — that is the initial recommendation for textiles in Cochabamba. The exact model, materials and sealing come from the free sizing study FB engineering runs on the circuit's real duty point.
Complete systems ready for any Latin American country
We don't just export pumps. We deliver skids, mobile units and assembled systems with control panel, ready for installation. Every project is sized for the customer's actual application — regardless of destination country.
