Anywhere there is bulk product being transported from one part of a process to another, you can find a BFM® fitting.
It's especially suited for transitions between stationary and moving equipment, like sifters, sieves and vibratory tubes, but can also be used through metal detectors, at the base of hoppers and anywhere you need access to or visibility of your product flow.
Every bulk processing industry needs flexible connectors to transport its product through different stages of a production line.
Today, BFM® fittings are the trusted flexible connector for global manufacturers in the food, chemical, pharmaceutical and mineral industries around the world.

BFM® fitting inventor, Blair McPheat, explains:
“I was visiting plants selling filtration products and was constantly seeing the issues manufacturers were having with dust leakage around their flexible connections.”
“The downtime involved for clean-ups and refits was costing a lot in lost production,” said McPheat. “I knew there had to be a better way.”
