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.

Contact UsIndustrial pumps for Santa Marta: the technical context
Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.
Industrial profile of Santa Marta
Santa Marta is one of Colombia's relevant industrial hubs, with activity concentrated in port operations, tourism and bananas. 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
A technical detail that changes selection in Colombia: the local grid runs at 60 Hz, which puts 2- and 4-pole induction motors at about 3,500 and 1,750 rpm. Since FB catalog curves are tested at 1,750 rpm (60 Hz), engineering recalculates flow and head through the affinity laws before locking the model — a step that prevents off-duty pumps in export projects.
FB series for the local profile
Crossing Santa Marta'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
Colombia is a Mercosur associate state, with economic complementation agreements supporting trade with Brazil. The factory-to-destination reference distance is ~4,840 km in a straight line, and the logistics plan — modal, industrial packaging, insurance and Incoterm — accompanies every export proposal for Santa Marta.
Frequently asked questions — Santa Marta
Does FB Bombas export to Santa Marta?
It does — with direct factory supply to Colombia. For Santa Marta, 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?
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?
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 port operations in Santa Marta?
FBCN — that is the initial recommendation for port operations in Santa Marta. 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.
