The Challenge

Title Line

Super-fine lithium powder, used in rechargeable batteries, was difficult to contain with traditional hose-clamp connectors, meaning this valuable product constantly leaked, causing a messy environment that required regular clean-ups.

Staff also had to regularly clean inside the machinery when they changed their material types, and the difficult removal and refitting of the hose-clamped connectors during the cleaning process caused considerable downtime.

The Solution

Title Line

BFM® fittings were installed to replace all existing hose-clip type connections on both the ultrasonic vibrating sifter and electronic magnet filter. Now the internal cleaning process can be completed in a much shorter time due to the fast and easy snap-fit removal and re-installation process of the BFM® fitting.

There is also now a 100% seal so there is no additional mess to clean up around the connection, and no product is lost. There is also the added bonus of visibility of product-flow through the connector that was not possible before.
