R.T. Crane stated in his autobiography: “Very early in my business experience I became convinced that, in order to succeed in the large business at which I was aiming, a thorough system must be devised”.
Today, our associates are united in using the Crane Business System to build a global network of people and solutions with consistent safety, quality, delivery, and cost that generates profitable organic growth, from one side of the globe to the other. Crane Co. executes more than 500 kaizen events annually to drive continuous improvement throughout worldwide operations. CP&S is a large part of that.
CP&S has actively used customer feedback (Voice of the Customer or VOC) to guide their New Product Development (NPD) decisions. This approach has been crucial in understanding market trends and meeting customer needs effectively. By incorporating insights from customers, CP&S has developed innovative pumping solutions tailored to our diverse clientele. This commitment to a customer-centric strategy has not only helped identify emerging trends but also allowed CP&S to address industry challenges more effectively. Since 2006, Crane has leveraged this feedback to launch 8 new product lines specifically focused on solving problems in the new modern waste stream. By consistently integrating VOC into our NPD processes, we have solidified our reputation as a forward-thinking leader dedicated to delivering cutting-edge and customer-focused pumping solutions for the wastewater market.

In 2008, Crane Pumps released the SH and Demersible Non-Clog portfolio, a line of submersible pumps designed using customer feedback to alleviate the most common pain points in wastewater applications. The Non-Clog line covers a performance range of flows up to 4000 GPM and heads up to 265 feet.
In 2018, the SITHE and Deming Chopper pumps were developed to combat the frequent clogging in wastewater applications. Crane Chopper pumps solve clogging with a unique patented chopping technology that slices even the most troublesome solids in the waste stream.
In 2020, Barnes introduced the Razor Grinder portfolio. This pump is the ideal 2 HP pump for light commercial and residential solids handling applications. With the RAZOR’s thoughtfully designed innovative axial cutting technology it is engineered to efficiently reduce solids like flushable wipes, diapers and other non-biodegradable items commonly found in the modern waste stream.
In 2021, Crane Pumps launched the envie3 motor series portfolio. This next generation of dry pit submersible pump can run in wet submerged applications and in dry pits. These pumps took our proven non-clog and chopper wet ends and outfitted it with a premium efficient/ IE3 motor that can run in both vertical and horizontal configurations. The envie3 is Barnes’ and Deming’s most versatile and efficient solution to date that will solve clogging problems in any application.
