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 Oruro
Oruro is one of Bolivia's relevant industrial hubs, with activity concentrated in mining, tin and foundry. For this profile, pumping demand splits between process fluids and utilities — precisely the boundary between the gear and centrifugal series FB Bombas has manufactured since 1944 in Cabreúva, São Paulo.
Bolivia's grid: 50 Hz
Electric motors in Bolivia follow the 50 Hz grid — and that weighs more than it seems in selection: available speed sits at ~2,900/1,450 rpm (2/4 poles), shifting flow and head through the affinity laws. For the mining services typical of Oruro, FB delivers the set already validated for the local frequency.
FB series for the local profile
Given the mining, tin and foundry profile, the technical starting point in Oruro is FBCN. The FBCN (standardized centrifugal, ASME B73.1 compliance) covers water, utilities and low-viscosity process fluids, with 53 models and back-pull-out maintenance.
Export and logistics
From Cabreúva-SP to Oruro it is roughly 2,159 km in a straight line. FB exports directly from the factory: the technical proposal defines the Incoterm, the modal (road, sea or air) and the schedule, and Bolivia is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Frequently asked questions — Oruro
Does FB Bombas export to Oruro?
It does — with direct factory supply to Bolivia. For Oruro, the proposal defines modal, Incoterm and schedule; Bolivia is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Do the pumps work on Bolivia's 50 Hz grid?
They do, provided they are sized for it — which is exactly what the FB proposal does: motor selected for 50 Hz (~2,900/1,450 rpm at 2/4 poles) and curve recalculated for the local speed before the model is locked.
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?
Replacement is factory-direct: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits for all four series are manufactured in Cabreúva-SP and exported to Bolivia per the contract's logistics plan — a direct advantage of buying from the manufacturer.
Which series does FB recommend for mining in Oruro?
The starting point for mining is FBCN — the final call comes from the real fluid, viscosity at pumping temperature, flow and circuit pressure. FB engineering sizing is free and the response specifies model, materials and sealing.
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.
