BFM Fitting

How it works

The Patented BFM® fitting is comprised of two elements - the standardised BFM® Spigot and a suitable flexible connector. This system solves many of the problems experienced with a standard hose clamped flexible connector.

Our system turns this: into this:

The Benefits

The BFM® fitting offers a wide range of benefits over a hose clamped connector. Some of these are outlined below:

  Standard Hose Clamped Flexible Connectors BFM® fitting
Hygiene

Product building up between the flexible connector and the sidewall of the spigot

 No crevices for product to get caught in.
Sizing From inaccuracies in measuring onsite through to production, it can be very difficult to get a perfect fit of a hose clamped connector. PERFECT fit every time
Fitting Both the speed and accuracy of fitting hose clamps can vary widely and often clamps are not fitted correctly. Can only fit in exactly the correct place, i.e. in or out.
Explosion In an overpressure situation hose clamps are normally always the weakest link and give up or let go long before the flexible connector would be due to rupture. Only seals tighter under high pressures.
Standard Sizes Current flexible connectors are made any size whatsoever, hence there are thousands of different sizes. Set standard sizes in 50mm increments helps standardise stock holdings of spare parts.
Health & Safety When using screwdrivers to tighten up hoseclips, damage is common to the flexible connector and even the installers hands. Tool free connector changing, simply snap in with your hands.
