When your flexible connectors tear or leak constantly, the efficiency of your production line reduces dramatically.
There's downtime needed to replace the connector, and labour costs in cleaning up product spillage. And then, of course, there is the cost of the wasted product itself.
To improve your operational efficiency, you need to have durable, quality flexible connectors that last the distance and perform consistently, so that your production can continue without interruption.
When you do need to change them, BFM® blue band connectors are so easy to remove and install that it can be done in under 30 seconds.
BFM®'s seal from the inside so there is nowhere for powders to escape from. Your product stays inside your process where it's supposed to be.
A large, multinational bakery in the UK was having difficulty with the flexible sleeve connecting a weigh hopper and dough mixer.
Installing BFM® flexible fittings has saved them over £40,000 in lost production.
The engineers at the world’s third-largest innovative agricultural input company, Bayer CropScience, were searching for a flexible connector that could be standardized throughout their global operations.
The BFM® fitting system is unique in that it doesn't use clamps to hold it in place.
The specially shaped flexible cuffs on the connector slot securely into the inside of the correspondingly shaped spigots (or adaptors).

The canvas weigh hopper connectors at a leading British concrete products manufacturer absorbed moisture, making them prone to blockages.
This caused considerable lost productivity and poor weighing accuracy. To add to the problem, jubilee clips caused excessive dust leakage and made replacement extremely time-consuming.
