Pharmaceutical production facilities are possibly the most highly regulated of all bulk manufacturers.
Strict international GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) expectations mean all processes need to have impeccable quality controls in place.
Compliance with hygiene standards, health and safety for staff and product, whilst minimising failure points and interruptions mean quality equipment must be used throughout the production process.
The BFM® fitting system is recognized worldwide as the connector solution for reliable, safe, hygienic pharmaceutical processes.
No crevices to collect product so no build-up or contamination risk. Superior seal means no product leaks. Safe for use in CIP cleaning cycles.
Safer, healthier people by keeping product in the right places. Operator exposure is limited, and plant explosion risk is dramatically reduced.
Have a wide range of products that conform to important global standards such as FDA, EC & ATEX.
Easier to fit/remove for cleaning or changeouts for different product runs or cleaning.

Director of Facilities and Maintenance for AMEDICA
AMEDICA is the only medical technology company in the world that has FDA clearance to use medical-grade silicon nitride ceramic powder to manufacture revolutionary spinal implants. This requires an extremely high level of hygiene.
When processed, however, this fine-as-talc powder infiltrated processing equipment connections and created a consistently powdery atmosphere, threatening the health of AMEDICA’s employees.

Project Engineer for Plasma Industries (Belgium)
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.
BFM® fittings outperform traditional hose clamp systems in virtually every processing application and condition. Below are some common process applications that are challenging for flexible connectors in the Pharma industry.
