Flexible connector for bulk powder manufacturing
Eliminate leakage and enhance hygiene in your powder processing with a snap-in connector system that simplifies installation and maintenance, ensuring a dust-tight seal without the need for tools.

Snap-Connects and Seals Flexibly
The BFM® Flexible Connector System from Powder-Solutions, Inc. revolutionizes the way you handle and connect bulk powder processes. Designed to snap-connect and seal without tools, it offers a cleaner, leak-free environment ideal for industries such as dairy, food, infant nutrition, and pharmaceuticals. The snap-in sleeves, combined with precision-engineered spigots, allow for simple integration into existing production lines, ensuring seamless transitions between processing stages. This system significantly minimizes product build-up, enhancing hygiene and reducing downtime during cleanings and changeovers.
BFM® fittings provide a 100% sealed connection, utilizing patented snap bands for a secure fit that tightens under pressure. With options in both breathable and non-breathable materials, it accommodates a variety of processing requirements and material consistencies, from powdered milk and cheese to pharmaceutical capsules and plastic resins. While throughput capacity varies depending on your specific system setup, BFM® fittings support continuous and high-speed operations, ideal for dynamic manufacturing environments.
Integration with existing systems is straightforward, as standardized sizes reduce the need for extensive inventory. The absence of tools in installation simplifies maintenance, while the durable materials ensure longevity and resilience against wear and corrosion, particularly in intense processing conditions. Additionally, the fittings align with industry best practices for cleaning and safety, supporting hygienic manufacturing objectives and regulatory compliance. Whether you need to customize dimensions or material types, engineering support is on hand to tailor the solution to your specific processing line requirements.
