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 Salto
Salto is an industrial market in Uruguay, with activity concentrated in citrus, agribusiness and thermal springs. 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.
Uruguay's grid: 50 Hz
A technical detail that changes selection in Uruguay: the local grid runs at 50 Hz, which puts 2- and 4-pole induction motors at about 2,900 and 1,450 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
Given the citrus, agribusiness and thermal springs profile, the technical starting point in Salto is FBCN and FBE. The FBE (external gear, API 676 compliance) covers viscous process fluids — oils, resins, derivatives — with stable flow and operation up to 350 °C; the FBCN (standardized centrifugal, ASME B73.1 compliance) handles water, utilities and light fluids.
Export and logistics
The export proposal for Salto settles the three logistics variables at once — Incoterm, modal and schedule — over the reference distance of ~1,396 km in a straight line from Cabreúva-SP. Worth noting: Uruguay is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Frequently asked questions — Salto
Does FB Bombas export to Salto?
Salto 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 Uruguay is a Mercosur member, which simplifies commercial documentation between the bloc's countries.
Do the pumps work on Uruguay'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?
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 Uruguay?
Whoever builds the pump builds the part: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits come from the same Cabreúva-SP plant and ship to Uruguay through the agreed export flow — traceability of the critical item stays with a single responsible party.
Which series does FB recommend for citrus in Salto?
For citrus, engineering starts from FBCN and FBE 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.
