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 Barranquilla
Barranquilla is one of Colombia's relevant industrial hubs, with activity concentrated in chemicals, port operations and metallurgy. 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.
Colombia's grid: 60 Hz
When specifying for Colombia, the 60 Hz grid frequency defines the available speed (~3,500/1,750 rpm at 2/4 poles). That is why the FB proposal for Barranquilla ships with the curve already corrected for local speed — no performance surprise at commissioning.
FB series for the local profile
Crossing Barranquilla's sectors with the FB catalog points to FBCN, FBE and FBOT 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). Where thermal oil heating exists, the FBOT — a dedicated centrifugal up to 350 °C — comes in.
Export and logistics
From Cabreúva-SP to Barranquilla it is roughly 4,856 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 Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil.
Frequently asked questions — Barranquilla
Does FB Bombas export to Barranquilla?
It does — with direct factory supply to Colombia. For Barranquilla, the proposal defines modal, Incoterm and schedule; Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil.
Do the pumps work on Colombia's 60 Hz grid?
Yes — the set is specified for the local frequency. At 60 Hz, 2/4-pole motors run at ~3,500/1,750 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?
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 Colombia?
Replacement is factory-direct: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits for all four series are manufactured in Cabreúva-SP and exported to Colombia per the contract's logistics plan — a direct advantage of buying from the manufacturer.
Which series does FB recommend for chemicals in Barranquilla?
For chemicals, engineering starts from FBCN, FBE and FBOT 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.
