Transporting product horizontally through a process line usually involves pneumatic conveying and can cause considerable wear on flexible connectors.

It's, therefore, really important to know the best practices for using BFM® flexible connectors in horizontal applications.

In this video, we cover the following:

  • regularly rotating connectors to avoid wear on one point
  • which materials to use - we recommend Seeflex 040E or 060ES
  • keeping a horizontal connector as short as possible
  • what to do if you need a longer horizontal connector
