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 Iquique: the technical context
Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.
Industrial profile of Iquique
With an economy built on mining, fishing and free trade zone, Iquique — 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
When specifying for Chile, the 50 Hz grid frequency defines the available speed (~2,900/1,450 rpm at 2/4 poles). That is why the FB proposal for Iquique ships with the curve already corrected for local speed — no performance surprise at commissioning.
FB series for the local profile
Crossing Iquique's sectors with the FB catalog points to FBCN as reference series. Utilities, process water and light fluids go to the FBCN standardized centrifugal (ASME B73.1), the fleet series for standardization.
Export and logistics
Every supply for Iquique ships with industrial export packaging and the destination's documentation package — commercial invoice, packing list and applicable certificates. The modal is defined with the customer (road, sea or air) and Chile is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil. The distance reference is ~2,398 km in a straight line from the factory.
Frequently asked questions — Iquique
Does FB Bombas export to Iquique?
Iquique 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 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?
Whoever builds the pump builds the part: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits come from the same Cabreúva-SP plant and ship to Chile through the agreed export flow — traceability of the critical item stays with a single responsible party.
Which series does FB recommend for mining in Iquique?
FBCN — that is the initial recommendation for mining in Iquique. 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.
