Abstract:
Introduction of the BFM Flexible Connector, The Patented BFMT fitting is comprised of two elements - the standardised BFMT Spigot and a suitable flexible connector. This system solves many of the problems experienced with a standard hose clamped flexible connector.
The BFM Flexible Connector System offers a 100% seal on all powders and dusts and eliminates the use of hose clamps on machinery such as fans, sifters, duting, vibrating machinery, etc.. The BFM fitting is cleaner, safer, last much longer than a standard fabric and hose clamp fitting and can be replaced quickly and easily with no tools required.
Intended audience: Any industries that processes dry dust or powders such as: food, dairy, grain, pharmaceutical, cement asphalt, wood, flour, sugar, soap and detergents
BFMT can be used in a wide variety of applications, in particular any applications where current flexible couplings and hose clips are used such as:
- Sifters, Vibratory & Oscillating
- Conveyors
- Feeders
- Fans
- Baghouses
- Silos/Bin inlet & outlets
- Cyclones
- Blenders
- Vibro tubes
- Rotary valves
