BFM® fitting BLUEBANDTM flexible connectors
Reduce downtime, save money, improve hygiene and standardize parts by replacing the traditional hose and clamp system with the BFM® fitting connector and spigot system. This revolutionary connector snaps right into place! This means changeovers do not require any tools.
Benefits of the BFM® fitting connector
- No product buildup means better hygiene - these sanitary connectors are 3A approved, and conform with FDA, EC and ATEX regulations.
- No tools and reduced downtime makes changeovers easy while saving you money.
- The BFM® connector is 100% sealed - that means no product leaks or dust.
