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 Cali
The productive park of Cali (one of Colombia's relevant industrial hubs) revolves around sugar, paper and pharmaceuticals — sectors whose operations depend on reliable process and utility pumping. It is the demand profile the FB series cover from the factory, with case-by-case sizing by engineering.
Colombia's grid: 60 Hz
Projects in Cali must account for Colombia's grid frequency: 60 Hz. In practice, 2-pole motors run at ~3,500 rpm and 4-pole at ~1,750 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 Cali'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
The factory in Cabreúva-SP is about 4,360 km in a straight line from Cali. Export shipment is defined by volume and urgency — road for southern-cone destinations, sea or air for the rest — with Incoterms, industrial packaging and documentation detailed in the technical proposal. Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil.
Frequently asked questions — Cali
Does FB Bombas export to Cali?
It does — with direct factory supply to Colombia. For Cali, 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?
That check is part of sizing: speed at 60 Hz (~3,500/1,750 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?
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 Colombia?
Whoever builds the pump builds the part: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits come from the same Cabreúva-SP plant and ship to Colombia through the agreed export flow — traceability of the critical item stays with a single responsible party.
Which series does FB recommend for sugar in Cali?
The starting point for sugar is FBCN, FBE and FBOT — 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.
