BFM® fitting is Perfectly Designed for the Mineral Industry

BFM® fitting flexible connectors are used globally by the world's leading minerals manufacturing companies.

The superior durability of the BFM® fitting flexible connector makes it perfect for handling the abrasive, corrosive nature of many materials within the Mineral Industry. The chemicals and abrasiveness wear down flimsy connectors.
BFM® fitting flexible connectors have a unique snap-in design that delivers 100% seal and prevents dust leakage, a common problem in the minerals industry.
BFM® fitting's Seeflex range of urethanes are well-suited for reducing the risk of spark discharges. The connectors are ATEX-compliant.

Mineral Industry Applications

BFM® fittings outperform traditional hose clamp systems in virtually every processing application and condition. Below are some common process applications that are challenging for flexible connectors.

The constant movement on sifters puts stress on flexible connections between equipment, and often causes problems like poor sealing, leaks and failures.

If you operate under pressure, we know keeping your product inside your process brings all sorts of challenges, usually around dust control and connector failure.

Static dissipative connectors like the BFM® fitting range will help reduce the chance of spark discharges occurring that can potentially ignite combustible dust explosions.

Metal Detector applications can be a challenging environment for traditional clamped connector systems because steel cannot be in near proximity to the detector.

Mineral processors sometimes operate equipment under negative pressure to avoid leaking product out of machinery, but you need to ensure your connectors seal properly too.

Proper cleaning of your pipes and in-line fittings is important during CIP, and having a flexible connector that can handle the chemicals and won't leak is essential.
