Crane Pumps & Systems FAQ
What does Crane Pumps & Systems manufacture?
Crane Pumps & Systems manufactures pumping equipment for wastewater, water handling, and building applications. Its portfolio includes several brands serving different pumping needs.
Which brands are part of Crane Pumps & Systems?
The portfolio includes Barnes, Burks, Crown, Deming, Prosser, and Weinman. Each brand has its own product offerings and application strengths.
What pump types are available?
Options across the portfolio include sewage, effluent, grinder, chopper, solids-handling, centrifugal, and self-priming pumps, along with associated controls.
Where is Crane pumping equipment commonly used?
Applications include municipal lift stations, pressure sewers, commercial buildings, residential sewage systems, and industrial water or wastewater handling.
Does Crane offer pumps for sewage lift stations?
Yes. Its range includes submersible solids-handling and chopper pumps for suitable lift-station duties. Selection depends on the wastewater characteristics and hydraulic requirements.
How do grinder and chopper pumps differ?
Both use cutting components, but their cutting arrangements and intended duties differ. Choose based on the waste stream, required flow, discharge pressure, and collection-system design.
Is an effluent pump the same as a sewage pump?
No. Effluent pumps generally serve liquids with smaller suspended solids, while sewage pumps are selected for a different waste stream. Always check the model's stated solids limits.
Can every submersible pump operate without being submerged?
No. Cooling requirements vary. Crane offers specific dry-run-capable submersible designs, but that capability should never be assumed for another model.
Are control panels available for pumping systems?
Yes. Crane offers control-panel products. The panel must match the motors, electrical supply, level devices, alarm requirements, and intended operating sequence.
What determines the right pump size?
Selection starts with the required flow and total dynamic head. Wastewater applications also require evaluation of solids, basin conditions, pumping cycles, and discharge-pipe characteristics.
Why do some stations use two pumps?
Two-pump arrangements can provide alternating operation, additional peak-flow capacity, or standby capability. The actual benefit depends on how the station and controls are designed.
What can cause repeated wastewater pump blockages?
Potential causes include unsuitable impeller selection, fibrous debris, inadequate transport velocity, or changes in the waste stream. Review the entire system when blockages recur.
What should be included in preventative maintenance?
Follow the specific pump and control manuals. Depending on the installation, checks may include seals, cables, level devices, alarms, check valves, and operating current.
What are warning signs of a pumping problem?
High-level alarms, longer run times, repeated trips, unusual noise, or reduced discharge can indicate a problem. The cause may involve the pump, controls, or piping.
What should I provide when requesting a replacement?
Provide the brand, model, serial number, electrical rating, duty requirements, and installation photos. For submersible replacements, include discharge-connection and guide-rail details.
