Flexible connector system for bulk powder processing

Eliminate leaks and enhance hygiene in your powder processing line with a revolutionary flexible connector that offers tool-free installation and dust-tight containment.

Ensures Dust-Tight Sealing and Hygienic Containment

BFM® Fittings offer a revolutionary approach to flexible connections within powder processing environments. Designed to eliminate the inefficiencies associated with traditional hose clamp systems, BFM® Fittings employ a snap-in design, featuring two welded collars and a flexible sleeve with integral snap bands for a tool-free, hygienic installation. This system ensures a 100% sealed environment, mitigating leaks and product buildup, which enhances hygiene and reduces maintenance downtime.

Commonly utilized in the dairy, food, and pharmaceutical industries, BFM® Fittings facilitate processes that include milk and cheese powder handling, infant formula production, and the processing of pharmaceutical powders and nutritional supplements. Their versatility accommodates both non-breathable and breathable sleeve materials, adaptable to specific process conditions.

Capable of integrating seamlessly with existing industrial systems, BFM® Fittings are ideal for operations prioritizing efficient containment and optimized cleanliness. They provide durable connections that withstand operational pressures, improving both safety standards and overall process efficiency. Additionally, BFM® Fittings adhere to industry regulations, ensuring compliance with GMP standards for sensitive applications.
