BFM® Connector Materials for Every Application – Flexible, Safe, Certified
The right flexible connector paired with the suitable BFM® fitting – a variety of materials for the highest demands
A BFM® connector is more than just a connection – it is a central component of a safe, hygienic, and efficient production process. For the best results, selecting the correct connector material is essential. Various requirements such as mechanical stress, temperature resistance, chemical resistance, and regulatory compliance make the choice of material a key technical decision.
Whether you need a highly flexible connector for decoupling load cells, a high-pressure resistant compensator for use under continuous pressure or potential pressure surges, or a heat-resistant solution for WIP processes, BFM® offers tested connector materials for nearly every application. The products are characterised by precise fit, easy installation, and maximum tightness – regardless of the selected material.
Options include:
-
Seeflex – transparent, durable, and food-compliant; available in various versions and thicknesses
-
Teflex – pure PTFE for extreme temperature and chemical resistance
-
FM1 Filter – for dust-free venting while protecting the product
-
LM3/LM4 – fabric with different air permeability levels for specific requirements
All these materials can be combined with a standardised BFM® socket. This means you can change the connector material without any modifications to your system – neither during installation nor in terms of sealing. This keeps your production both flexible and safe.
BFM® connector materials are ATEX-certified, food-compliant (according to EU and FDA), and, depending on the variant, offer temperature resistance up to 280 °C. Whether in the food, pharmaceutical, or chemical industry – you will always find the BFM® connector that perfectly matches your process requirements.
