Hygienic flexible sleeves for food and pharmaceutical use
In processes where hygiene and efficiency are critical, the use of conventional flexible sleeves with hose clamps can create product retention zones, posing contamination and maintenance challenges.
Prevent contamination and ensure tight sealing
The BFM Fittings by Gericke offer a hygienic solution for connecting flexible sleeves to rigid tubing without creating product retention zones. Unlike traditional clamps, the BFM design ensures a perfectly waterproof and hygienic connection, eliminating dead zones that can harbor contaminants. Suitable for food grade applications, these fittings are made from Polyurethane, with other materials available upon request. They are easy to replace, requiring no tools and less than 40 seconds to fit. Available in diameters ranging from 100 to 650 mm, the BFM Fittings are designed to maintain tight seals even with very fine powders and withstand pressure shocks during dust explosions. This makes maintenance straightforward and reduces downtime, ensuring a clean and safe production environment across various industries including food and pharmaceuticals.
