BFM® fittings with Support Rings
BFM® fittings molded in integral stainless steel reinforcing ring(s) for high vacuum applications.
Stainless Steel Support (SS) rings can be used to counter the effects of the length of the BFM® flexible connector - As in, a 400mm (16") long connector will hold as much vacuum as a 100mm (4") long connector if it has three support rings (100mm (4") apart.)
The rings also help keep the connector walls open and away from the product flow.
Plastic support rings can also be used for metal detection applications.
BFM® fitting Tool Release Sleeve
The BFM® fitting Tool Release connector is designed for applications where the BFM® sleeve is mounted close to equipment that is rotating or spinning quickly.
In order to ensure safety the Tool Release Sleeve leverages a tighter fit and the BFM® flexible connector can only be released using a special Tool Release tool.
