BFM® fitting Improves Efficiency

Why is BFM® More Efficient?

Our BLUEBAND™ flexible connector system provides so many advantages in terms of operational efficiency; it's an investment that pays for itself many times over.

Watch the highlights of our recent Webinar where our Technical Lead, Matthew Bailey, shares more in-depth information on the kind of efficiency gains you can see by investing in a BFM® fitting system.

How Flexible Connectors Affect Your Bottom Line

When your flexible connectors tear or leak constantly, the efficiency of your production line reduces dramatically.

There's downtime needed to replace the connector, and labour costs in cleaning up product spillage. And then, of course, there is the cost of the wasted product itself.

To improve your operational efficiency, you need to have durable, quality flexible connectors that last the distance and perform consistently, so that your production can continue without interruption.

One Handed BFM Snap Fit

The materials and design of the BFM® fitting are extremely long-wearing and durable so they don't need to be replaced as often as other connectors.

When you do need to change them, BFM® blue band connectors are so easy to remove and install that it can be done in under 30 seconds.

BFM®'s seal from the inside so there is nowhere for powders to escape from. Your product stays inside your process where it's supposed to be.

Productivity Gains With BFM® fitting

Old-style clamped connectors are difficult to fit correctly and often tear, causing product spillages and production downtime for replacements.

The unique snap-in fit of BLUEBAND™ flexible connectors mean changeovers can be done in as little as 30 seconds. The materials are also extremely durable and won't rip or tear so need to be replaced less often.

Learn More About Reducing Downtime

Manufacturers often have a multitude of different connectors being used in any one plant, with varying material types, fitting styles, quality, and safety conformity.

With BFM® connectors, you can standardize connector sizes across the factory. That means you need to keep less spare stock on hand plus you'll get a consistent fit - no matter who does the replacement.

BFM® fitting Is Improving Efficiency For Companies Around The World:

A large, multinational bakery in the UK was having difficulty with the flexible sleeve connecting a weigh hopper and dough mixer.

Installing BFM® flexible fittings has saved them over £40,000 in lost production.

After BFM®'s were installed at Bayer Crop Science

The engineers at the world’s third-largest innovative agricultural input company, Bayer CropScience, were searching for a flexible connector that could be standardized throughout their global operations.

Multiple BFM® connectors installed at Ajinomoto in Brazil

Global food giant Ajinomoto had a challenging transition point that required frequent connector changes, causing extensive downtime.

Find Out How The BFM® fitting System Works

The BFM® fitting system is unique in that it doesn't use clamps to hold it in place.

The specially shaped flexible cuffs on the connector slot securely into the inside of the correspondingly shaped spigots (or adaptors).

Case Study

"BFM® has totally solved the problem and we have had no lost production ever since."

- Factory Manager

The canvas weigh hopper connectors at a leading British concrete products manufacturer absorbed moisture, making them prone to blockages.

This caused considerable lost productivity and poor weighing accuracy. To add to the problem, jubilee clips caused excessive dust leakage and made replacement extremely time-consuming.
