Municipal Pump Portfolio
One of the main issues plaguing customers has been and will continue to be the changing waste stream, and the need to handle increasing solids. Picking the right pump for your municipal needs can be difficult. The solids content in your application will have an effect on this decision. Click on each section in the image below to see what products CP&S offers for your solids handling needs for municipal applications.
Chopper Pumps
Our chopper platform features oil-filled or air-filled motor housings.
In the oil-filled offering, the oil acts as both a lubricant and coolant, circulating oil through the stator and housing as a heat conductor.
In the air-filled offering, envie3, the pump utilizes a glycol cooling system. This patent-pending cooling system gives envie3 the capability to operate in dry-pit applications and allows lift stations to be shallower. This feature as well as the high efficiency IE3 rating will save time, money, and resources.
There are benefits to both offerings that can be adapted for any need or application. The main difference between the oil filled chopper and air-filled chopper is how the motor is cooled. The slicing mechanism and wet end of the two models are identical to provide the long-lasting reliability of all Barnes products. Whether an oil filled chopper or an air-filled chopper better fits your application, you will experience cost and time savings.

Grinder Pumps
Don’t have a ton of flow or need a lot of head at your waste station? A grinder pump might be the right solution for your needs. Barnes by Crane Pumps & Systems offers two grinder product families.
The RAZOR is a 2 HP grinder pump for residential and light commercial 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.
Need a little more power? The Blade is a 3 – 15 HP grinder pumps for wastewater applications requiring high capacity, high head and high flow.
Patented Axial Cutter
Provides superior non-clogging versus radial designs
Tank Mixing
Fat, oil, and grease build up is prevented by constant water movement

Sewage Ejector Pumps
Sewage ejector pumps are critical for maintaining reliable wastewater transport in municipal and commercial systems where gravity flow is not sufficient. Installed in below-grade applications, these pumps ensure consistent movement of sewage and wastewater to higher elevation sewer lines, supporting system uptime and regulatory compliance.
Atlas sewage ejector pumps are engineered to meet the evolving demands of modern wastewater conditions, including increased solids, debris, and continuous operation requirements. With the ability to pass up to 2-inch solids, Atlas delivers clog-resistant performance that helps reduce unplanned maintenance, downtime, and service interventions.
Designed to simplify specification and long-term operation, Atlas offers broad performance coverage across fewer models, making it easier to standardize across projects. A quick disconnect power cord improves serviceability, while rugged cast iron construction, corrosion-resistant coatings, and long-life internal components ensure durability in harsh environments.
Atlas Pump Features
Heavy-duty cast iron construction with corrosion-resistant coating for long service life in demanding environments
Oil-filled motor and long-life bearings engineered for reliable, continuous operation
Handles up to 2-inch solids with clog-resistant hydraulic design to reduce maintenance and unplanned downtime
