Dairy plants are required to be of the highest sanitary standards, with a need for continual cleaning, such as CIP (Clean in Place). They are also environments that need to be free from dust to avoid the risk of dust explosions. The BFM® is more abrasion resistant than traditional connectors, being easily replaced (less downtime), easily cleaned, and dust tight (eliminating plant contamination). 
 

Hygienic Design Exceeds Standards

BFM® fittings are 3A certified, as well as being USDA, FDA and EU approved for food contact. The diagrams below show how the superior design works.
 

Thoroughly Tested

An extensive range of in house and independent testing has proven that the BFM® fitting is a superior system. Explosion testing has been a significant part of this. Our independently verified testing proved the
failure of hose clamped connectors in explosion situations. It has also been proven that the BFM® fitting will withstand and contain the explosion.
