The Dairy Industry has extremely high sanitary standards

Title Line

Hygiene is of the utmost importance in all aspects of handling and processing of milk with the risk of microbial contamination having serious consequences for the quality and safety of the end product.

Dairy-based powders are also flammable in suspension as a dust cloud, which places dairy plants at extremely high risk when it comes to the potential for secondary explosions. 

So keeping all equipment - and the flexible connections that transport the product - clean and dust free is essential for safe operation of a dairy processing plant.

That's where BFM® fitting excels, and our connectors are considered the new industry standard for dairy companies.

Advantages of BFM® fitting in the Dairy Industry

Title Line

Dust is contained and there are no crevices to collect product so no build-up or contamination risk. Superior seal means they're also safe for use in CIP cleaning cycles.

Replacing connectors is safer with no tools required for standard BFM® fittings, plus 100% seal makes the factory environment much healthier.

Have a wide range of products that conform to important global standards such as 3A, USDA, FDA, EC & ATEX.

Less clean-ups and replacements plus faster, easier changeovers means the plant runs more efficiently with fewer stoppages.
