BFM® Fittings - Flexible Connectors for the Chemical Industry

No query specified.

As anyone working in a Chemical production facility knows, keeping your manufacturing environment dust free is a constant challenge. Flexible connectors are often difficult to fit, prone to leakage and time consuming to replace. On top of this, finding connectors that are both chemical resistant, and compliant with stringent international ATEX explosion standards, is extremely difficult.

The BFM^® fitting system is the perfect solution:

	Regulatory compliance: Flexible connector blow-outs and leakage are eliminated because flexible BFM^® Connectors seal from the inside. Fully tested and ATEX certified to be used in potentially explosive dust areas, providing H&S compliance
	Chemical resistance: Standard Seeflex range has superior chemical resistance (particularly for CIP and washing) and our Teflex products can be used across the full pH scale
	Health & Safety: The 100% dust-tight seal on our Seeflex range eliminates dust leakage and provides a much cleaner production environment
	Easy installation: The simplicity and standardisation of the snap-fit flexible BFM^® connector means they are fast and simple for all staff to replace
	Reduced downtime: The simple snap-fit system has created significant time savings in terms of cleaning change-overs and maintenance downtime
	Standardization: Simplify the variety of connectors and materials throughout your plant with our standardized sizing - drastically reduces inventory and provides easier stock control
