Problems with heavy leakage on a sifter with a significant throw (35mm each side) were plaguing a global leader in the manufacture of home and personal care products...
BFM® fitting flexible connectors are trusted by 95% of the world's largest chemical manufacturing companies. Leak-free seals, superior durability and explosion-resistant design are just three of the reasons why it has become the chemical industry's standard for flexible connectors.
BFM®'s products improve safety and efficiency for chemical processors dealing with challenging products and conditions:
- 100% Leak-Proof - Minimizing dust in the factory environment is vital for safety, and transitions are the most common location for dust to escape. Unlike clamped connectors, the BFM® flexible connector system utilizes a 'snap-fit' cuff that seals from the inside, eliminating product leakage for a cleaner factory.
- Durable - BFM® fitting's quality design and materials mean they significantly outperform and outlast other products in the market. Our connectors have been performance-tested for the extreme demands of the chemical industry with a range of abrasion-resistant materials that can handle everything from temperature extremes to acids to pressure and movement.
- Maintenance Made Easy - Because they last longer, you won't need to replace them as often as other connectors, but when you do, standard BFM® connectors can be removed and replaced by hand in under 30 seconds. They are also fast and easy to clean.
- Explosion Resistant - Containing any explosion that might occur inside your equipment is essential to avoid potentially devastating secondary-explosions. The BFM® fitting system has been independently tested and proven to resist very high internal explosion pressures - in excess of 60kpa (8.7psi).
- Regulatory Compliant - BFM® fitting products are rigorously tested for compliance with important safety standards such as ATEX.
