BFM® Fitting Special Versions – Tailor-Made Solutions for Your Processes

From inflatable connectors to quick access ports – flexible connectors for specialised applications

BFM® Special Versions – Customised Fittings for Your Special Applications

Not every production environment can be covered with standard solutions alone. Even though the standard BFM® fitting already covers around 90% of all industrial applications, there are processes that require customised solutions. This is exactly where BFM® special versions come into play: for maximum flexibility, safety, and process compatibility.

 

Standardisation with Flexibility – The BFM® Principle

A key advantage of the BFM® fitting solution lies in standardisation: fewer variants mean reduced effort in warehousing, replacement, and documentation. However, if your application goes beyond the standard, BFM® offers a wide range of technically sophisticated special solutions.

 

Overview of Special Versions

  • Reinforced fittings for extreme demands
    Support rings or wire spirals for stabilisation under vacuum, lifting movements, or horizontal loads

  • Reinforced clamping rings for additional protection in hazardous areas

  • Protective covers made from Kevlar or light-damping fabrics for protection against pressure, light, or UV radiation

 

Geometrically Adapted Connections

  • Conical shapes to compensate for different pipe diameters or for dynamic movements

  • Closed-end connectors for temporary sealing or cleaning processes

 

Product Innovations for Special Processes

  • BFM® Inflatable Connector – The flexible air connection for dust-free filling of big bags or sacks. The adaptable shape ensures a perfect seal on the inlet spout, even with varying sack sizes.

  • BFM® Quick Access Port – Practical access to the product flow for sampling or test piece insertion (e.g., for metal detectors) without disconnecting the connector.

  • BFM® Elbow Connector – Designed for CIP/WIP cleaning processes where liquids need to be specifically drained.

  • BFM® Weighing Bellows – A flexible special design for high-precision weighing applications where vibration decoupling is crucial.

 

Your Flexible Connector for Every Challenge

With BFM® special versions, you receive a flexible connector that integrates seamlessly into complex processes – whether for secure sealing, precise dosing, or hygienic cleaning. Each BFM® fitting is designed to maintain the standard advantages of easy installation, tightness, and compliance, even in its special form.
