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 Montevideo
The productive park of Montevideo (the capital and one of Uruguay's main industrial hubs) revolves around chemicals, leather and technology — 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.
Uruguay's grid: 50 Hz
Electric motors in Uruguay 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 chemicals services typical of Montevideo, FB delivers the set already validated for the local frequency.
FB series for the local profile
Crossing Montevideo'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
Every supply for Montevideo 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 Uruguay is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries. The distance reference is ~1,558 km in a straight line from the factory.
Frequently asked questions — Montevideo
Does FB Bombas export to Montevideo?
Yes. FB Bombas exports directly from the factory in Cabreúva-SP (Brazil) to Montevideo and other cities in Uruguay — Uruguay is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries. The technical proposal includes Incoterm, packaging and export documentation.
Do the pumps work on Uruguay'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?
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 Uruguay?
Replacement is factory-direct: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits for all four series are manufactured in Cabreúva-SP and exported to Uruguay per the contract's logistics plan — a direct advantage of buying from the manufacturer.
Which series does FB recommend for chemicals in Montevideo?
The starting point for chemicals 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.
