Whether it's processing dairy, coffee, pasta or chicken, strict plant hygiene is essential in the food industry.

Harsh operating conditions and health and safety risks all play a part in selecting equipment for chemical processors.

Maintaining strict clean-room operating conditions can be challenging when dealing with fine pharmaceutical powders.

Product aggregation, connector blow-outs, tearing and leakage are common problems in mineral processing.

Applications

BFM® fittings outperform traditional hose-clamped systems in every processing application and condition. Our range of breathable and non-breathable flexible connectors operate across a wide range of conditions meaning that we have solutions for applications across many industries.

The constant movement on machinery like sifters and sieves puts stress on flexible connections between equipment, and often causes problems like poor sealing, leaks and failures.

Metal Detector applications can be a challenging environment for traditional clamped connector systems because steel cannot be in near proximity to the detector.

Proper cleaning of your pipes and in-line fittings is important during CIP, and having a flexible connector that can handle the chemicals and won't leak is essential.

Processors often operate equipment under negative pressure to avoid leaking product out of machinery, but you need to ensure your connectors seal properly too.

If you operate under pressure, we know keeping your product inside your process brings all sorts of challenges, usually around dust control and connector failure.

Static dissipative connectors like the BFM® fitting range will help reduce the chance of spark discharges occurring that can potentially ignite combustible dust explosions.
