Export
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 Valparaíso
Valparaíso is one of Chile's relevant industrial hubs, with activity concentrated in port operations, refining and tourism. 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.
Chile's grid: 50 Hz
Electric motors in Chile 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 port operations services typical of Valparaíso, FB delivers the set already validated for the local frequency.
FB series for the local profile
For typical port operations operations in Valparaíso, engineering's initial recommendation is FBCN and FBE. The exact model comes from the real duty point — fluid, viscosity at pumping temperature, flow and pressure — provided in the inquiry; sizing is free and the proposal specifies model, materials and sealing.
Export and logistics
From Cabreúva-SP to Valparaíso it is roughly 2,624 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 — Valparaíso
Does FB Bombas export to Valparaíso?
Valparaíso 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?
Yes — the set is specified for the local frequency. At 50 Hz, 2/4-pole motors run at ~2,900/1,450 rpm, and engineering corrects the pump curve through the affinity laws to guarantee the duty point at the real speed.
Is technical documentation available in Spanish?
Yes — Spanish and Portuguese are the working languages of FB technical material: catalogs, series specifications and the website. For export, the proposal documentation follows the language defined by the customer.
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 port operations in Valparaíso?
FBCN and FBE — that is the initial recommendation for port operations in Valparaíso. 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.
