BFM® fitting
The 100% dust-tight BFM® fitting system uses two welded spigots and a snap-fit blue-band connector held securely inside.
BFM® Flexible Connectors
The BFM® fitting is the global industry standard for achieving a truly dust-free processing environment. Unlike traditional hose clamps that leak under pressure, the BFM® system utilizes a patented internal "Snap-Fit" mechanism to provide a 100% sealed connection for bulk powder handling. Hygiene, ATEX & Tool-Free Changeover.
100% Dust-Tight Flexible Connection
- Internal Seal Geometry: The connector snaps into the inside of the spigot. As internal pressure increases, the seal actually tightens against the pipe wall. This prevents the "puffing" and leakage common in external clamp systems.
- Explosion Resistance: Designed for high-risk environments, the system is independently tested to withstand overpressures exceeding 60kPa. By containing 100% of the material, it significantly reduces the risk of secondary dust explosions.
- Crevice-Free Interior: The smooth internal profile removes "dead zones" where dust and product accumulate. This ensures a hygienic, clean-in-place (CIP) compatible flow that prevents cross-contamination.
Hygiene, ATEX & Tool-Free Changeover
- Health & Safety: Eliminating airborne dust emissions improves workplace air quality and protects operators from respiratory hazards.
- Tool-Free Changeovers: The snap-in design allows for manual replacement in under 30 seconds—no screwdrivers or clamps required.
- Standardized Precision: Fixed diameters (100mm to 1,650mm) ensure a perfect, repeatable fit every time, removing the human error associated with tightening manual clamps.
- Compliance: Fully certified for food and pharma contact (FDA 21 CFR, EC 1935/2004) and ATEX-rated for explosive dust zones.
