Field-tested Solutions
John Crane is a recognized world leader in the design, manufacture and supply of solutions for pharmaceutical processors. Our Technology Testing Centers represent the industry’s most advanced development facilities. To maintain ISO 9001:2008 certification, we test our components using element analysis tools — CSTEDY and CTRANS — that simulate seal face behavior in real-world conditions.
Through rigorous testing and continual improvement, we’ve designed a number of industry-specific components that help optimize performance, efficiency and reliability. Some address specific fluid-handling problems, while others mitigate friction, wear and contamination with non-contacting, spiral groove lift-off technology. Many of our products even provide 100 percent containment of fugitive emissions, and we have more than 200 global rapid-response facilities available anytime for service, support and repair.
