The Challenge:

The flexible sleeve connecting a weigh hopper and dough mixer was causing major disruption at a leading bakery. Installing replacement sleeves was very difficult. If installed too taught, load cells were affected and it then took an hour to adjust, causing significant downtime and lost production.

Our Solution:

BFM® fitting

Key Features:

Self locating sleeve ensures consistent flexibility to prevent interference with load cells

Improvement:

Traditional sleeve – replaced every 3months, 3 hours downtime per annum
BFM fitting – 18 months, no downtime

Client feedback

“BFM® is such a simple idea which translates into real benefit in our plant. It is impossible to fit BFM® wrong and there is no build up so weighing problems are a thing of the past, saving us a small fortune. They are also 100% dust tight which reduces our cleaning bills.”
