Chicago, Ill April 27, 2009 – www.powder-solutions.com – Powder-Solutions, Inc., American distributors of the USDA accepted/3A certified BFM® fitting, will reveal how to eliminate the sanitation concerns that plague bulk dairy powder processing plants to attendees at the annual American Dairy Products Institute/American Butter Institute (ADPI/ABI) Conference.

Bulk powder processing plants, in the dairy industry, traditionally use standard flex sleeves and hose clamps as powder connectors.  Habitual shortcomings of standard flex sleeves and hose clamps have long been known and include everything from powder leaking between connectors and building up within connectors.

Powder leakage and build-up are two of the most common sanitation culprits in bulk powder processing.  Despite being aware of these shortcomings, bulk powder processing plants in the dairy industry could not implement an alternate solution as, until recently, one was not available.

The BFM® fitting, distributed by Minneapolis, MN based Powder-Solutions, Inc., is the alternative to traditional flex sleeves and hose clamps that have long caused unsanitary conditions in bulk dairy powder processing plants.

“The BFM® fitting features a crevice free surface designed to eliminate trapped powder, and its tight snap placement eliminates the threat of powder leakage,” states Marv Deam, CEO of Powder-Solutions, Inc.  “By not trapping or leaking powder, bulk powder processing plants in the dairy industry can instantly alleviate two of the larger culprits of unsanitary working conditions.”
