By removing the difficult clamping system, the BFM® fitting allows much faster changeovers - in seconds - eliminating costly downtime.
Plasma Industries Belgium processes around 1.2 million litres of human blood plasma per year, breaking down the individual proteins for use in therapeutic and clinical analysis products via ‘fractionation’.
This is a complex process that must maintain the strictest hygiene. Installing a BFM® connector between a hopper and processing vessel fixed issues they had experienced with a clamped connector, improving changeovers and also dramatically reducing the risk of clean-room and product contamination.
