The revolutionary BFM® fitting system is already used by over 90% of the world’s largest plastics manufacturers. Yet, many in the industry remain unaware of the significant benefits the system offers over traditional hose-clamp connectors. That’s something CEO and founder **Blair McPheat** is excited to change.

“The BFM® fitting system has been quietly delivering game-changing results in [plastics processing](https://www.bfmfitting.com/plastics-industry-flexible-connectors) for years,” says McPheat. “From eliminating dust leaks and reducing explosion risks to cutting downtime and simplifying maintenance, it's the best-kept secret in the industry — but it’s time the secret got out.”

Born from seeing the frustration bulk powder processors encountered with traditional connectors during his time selling filtration equipment, McPheat developed the BFM® fitting system to deliver a [100% sealed](https://www.bfmfitting.com/the-bfm-advantage/no-product-loss), **tool-free**, and **snap-in** solution.

“It installs correctly every time and is designed to withstand high movement, pressure, and abrasive conditions,” McPheat says. “BFM®’s not only eliminate dust leaks, they also help dissipate electrostatic build-up – that’s a serious explosion risk and a big challenge in many plastics manufacturing environments.”

At this year’s K-Show, BFM® Global will showcase the system live, allowing attendees to see, touch, and try the fittings for themselves. The ease of the snap-fit installation and the versatility of the applications often surprise those new to the BFM® fitting system.

“Seeing is believing, and we’re excited to finally bring this technology directly to the plastics industry at K-Show,” says McPheat. “Engineers, maintenance managers, and plant teams will be amazed at how such a simple change can have such a big impact.”
