BFM Fitting flexible connector system - overview

BFM Logo   Snap-in no tool fitting

 
The BFMTM fitting is a world first snap-in flexible connector which is making traditional connecting sleeves and clamp bands redundant. The simplest of ideas has been used to create a genuine innovation which is greatly improving powder handling processes in many industries worldwide and has prompted one leading figure to comment, "This is the most significant development in powder handling for over 20 years." 
 

Before

 

In an era of technically advanced, high specification powder processing equipment, conventional connecting sleeves have often been seen as a weak link.  BFMTM flexible connectors bring connecting sleeves in line with 21st century manufacturing capabilities. 

The patented BFMTM system combines specially designed grooved spigots and a connecting sleeve with integral snap bands which, critically, locate internally within the spigots, a completely new development in the field of flexible connectors. This revolutionary design allows effortless "snap in" installation which can only produce a perfect seal.

 

After

 
Dust Tight
The "perfect" fit creates a guaranteed 100% dust tight seal preventing product escape to atmosphere. Flexible connectors have traditionally been one of the main sources of dust leakage in the workplace. Removing this source of emission helps create a healthier, safer working environment and assists with COSHH compliance.
 

 

Sanitary
BFMTM fittings set a new standard for hygiene. Seeflex connectors have achieved FDA approval, USDA and 3-A sanitary certification. 
  

Safety
No-tool, snap-in installation eliminates the need for screw drivers, avoiding the risk of injury during replacement.  
 

Cost Effective
Connectors are available in innovative new materials which offer increased service life of up to 10 times that of rubber or fabric alternatives. More reliable operation reduces the risk of failure, product spillage and waste. 

Vibratory Equipment
The difficulties of making dust tight connections to vibratory equipment are well known. BFMTM fittings have proven ideal for this application.
