Why FB Bombas for LATAM

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.

Industrial pumps for Maracay: the technical context

Local profile, grid frequency, recommended series and export logistics — the four factors that define the right specification.

Industrial profile of Maracay

Maracay is one of Venezuela's relevant industrial hubs, with activity concentrated in textiles, paper 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

A technical detail that changes selection in Venezuela: 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 Maracay'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 (API 610). Where thermal oil heating exists, the FBOT — a dedicated centrifugal up to 350 °C — comes in.

Export and logistics

From Cabreúva-SP to Maracay it is roughly 4,345 km in a straight line. FB exports directly from the factory: the technical proposal defines the Incoterm, the modal (road, sea or air) and the schedule, and Brazil–Venezuela export follows the regular customs flow, defined in the proposal.

Frequently asked questions — Maracay

Does FB Bombas export to Maracay?

It does — with direct factory supply to Venezuela. For Maracay, 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?

Yes — the set is specified for the local frequency. At 60 Hz, 2/4-pole motors run at ~3,500/1,750 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?

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 Venezuela?

Whoever builds the pump builds the part: seals, impellers, shafts and wear kits come from the same Cabreúva-SP plant and ship to Venezuela through the agreed export flow — traceability of the critical item stays with a single responsible party.

Which series does FB recommend for textiles in Maracay?

FBCN, FBE and FBOT — that is the initial recommendation for textiles in Maracay. The exact model, materials and sealing come from the free sizing study FB engineering runs on the circuit's real duty point.
