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.

Contact UsIndustrial pumps for Copiapó: the technical context
Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.
Industrial profile of Copiapó
With an economy built on mining, agribusiness and grapes, Copiapó — one of Chile'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.
Chile's grid: 50 Hz
Projects in Copiapó must account for Chile'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
Crossing Copiapó's sectors with the FB catalog points to FBCN and FBE as reference series. Viscous process fluids go to the FBE external gear pump (up to 100,000 SSU, API 676); utilities and light fluids to the FBCN centrifugal (ASME B73.1).
Export and logistics
From Cabreúva-SP to Copiapó it is roughly 2,371 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 Chile is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil.
Frequently asked questions — Copiapó
Does FB Bombas export to Copiapó?
It does — with direct factory supply to Chile. For Copiapó, the proposal defines modal, Incoterm and schedule; Chile is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil.
Do the pumps work on Chile'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?
It is: the technical content for all four series — catalogs, specifications and the website itself — exists in Spanish and Portuguese, and the documentation accompanying the export proposal follows the project language.
How does parts replacement work in Chile?
Parts for the FBE, FBEI, FBCN and FBOT series ship from the same factory that builds the pumps, in Cabreúva-SP, and follow the proposal's export flow — no third-party dependency for critical items such as seals, impellers and wear kits.
Which series does FB recommend for mining in Copiapó?
For mining, engineering starts from FBCN and FBE and locks the model with four circuit data points: fluid, viscosity at pumping temperature, flow and pressure. The study is free of charge 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.
