Flexi-Earthed | BFM® Fitting
Superior to traditional hose clamped canvas/cloth/rubber connectors
The Flexi-Earthed connector is made from an ether-based polyurethane with a 316 stainless steel wire coil and terminal lugs at each end.
Use Flexi-Earthed fittings for bag feeders, filling heads, or bulk bag fillers where electrical grounding is required. Terminal lugs are designed to be attached to grounding cables at each end to provide maximum safety. CIP safe, excellent microbial resistance. Very flexible & lightweight, tight bend radius. High mechanical strength & good hydrolytic stability.
