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 markets such as Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru 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 Maracaibo
Maracaibo is one of Venezuela's relevant industrial hubs, with activity concentrated in oil & gas, petrochemicals and food processing. 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.
Venezuela's grid: 60 Hz
Projects in Maracaibo must account for Venezuela'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
Given the oil & gas, petrochemicals and food processing profile, the technical starting point in Maracaibo 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, API 610 compliance) handles water, utilities and light fluids.
Export and logistics
Every supply for Maracaibo 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 Brazil–Venezuela export follows the regular customs flow, defined in the proposal. The distance reference is ~4,622 km in a straight line from the factory.
Frequently asked questions — Maracaibo
Does FB Bombas export to Maracaibo?
It does — with direct factory supply to Venezuela. For Maracaibo, the proposal defines modal, Incoterm and schedule; Brazil–Venezuela export follows the regular customs flow, defined in the proposal.
Do the pumps work on Venezuela's 60 Hz grid?
They do, provided they are sized for it — which is exactly what the FB proposal does: motor selected for 60 Hz (~3,500/1,750 rpm at 2/4 poles) and curve recalculated for the local speed before the model is locked.
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 Venezuela?
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 oil & gas in Maracaibo?
The starting point for oil & gas is FBCN and FBE — 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.
