BFM® fitting at Bulk Expo 2026: See the BLUEBAND™ Connector in Action

BFM® Australia is heading to Bulk Expo 2026, Australia's dedicated exhibition and technical conference for bulk materials handling, processing, transport, logistics and storage. The event runs 16 and 17 September 2026 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre (MCEC), and you'll find us at stand B06, demonstrating why the BLUEBAND™ connector beats clamps every time. 

What You'll See on the BFM® Stand

Our team will be on hand to walk you through the BFM® fitting system and the BLUEBAND™ connector, the #1 snap-fit flexible connector engineered to eliminate leaks, reduce downtime and keep operators safe at transfer points. It's no exaggeration to say people get genuinely excited when we show them just how fast the BFM® fitting snaps in. 

Come and see:

• The BLUEBAND™ snap-fit connector, live and in hand (yes, you can snap it yourself)
• Our bulk bag loading machine, Showbox and Cactus unit in action on the stand
• How BFM® fittings stack up against traditional clamped or bolted connections for speed of installation and safety
• Compliance credentials relevant to your industry, including ATEX, 3-A, FDA and EC 1935/2004
• Real-world case studies on reducing dust escape, cross-contamination risk and unplanned downtime

Meet the team

The BFM® Australia team will be camped out on Stand B06 for the full two days, ready to talk through your transfer point headaches, whether that's dust containment, wear resistance, or maintenance schedules nobody enjoys.
