Seeflex 040E | BFM® Fitting
Superior to traditional hose clamped canvas/cloth/rubber connectors
The Seeflex 040E is a clear ether-based thermoplastic polyurethane alloy connector. Because it does not have memory, it will not fracture as a result of constant flexing. Seerflex 040E has superior chemical resistance for CIP and washing, excellent abrasion resistance, and a smooth welded seam. It is Atex Compliant: IBExU tested and can be used in all dust explosion hazardous areas.
Use the Seeflex 040E on all types of static, vibratory, and gyratory sifters, screeners, feeders, bin discharges, hoppers, conveyors, packing equipment, and other product handling equipment.
