John Crane Corporate services

When it comes to engineering design, every detail is crucial to reliability and safety — but even a perfect design can be compromised by suboptimal materials. To strike a balance between cost and performance, engineering designers have to analyze every detail. And at John Crane, they do. Our approach to designing dependable, mission-critical products has earned us the trust of some of the world’s largest energy services companies. For almost 100 years, John Crane has engineered high-performance products that reliably withstand extreme environments, challenging applications and evolving legislation. No matter how strict the specification or how unique the application, our applied engineering solutions maximize uptime and minimize total cost of ownership. And because our engineers are globally located, we can be there in person anytime design services are needed.

Almost 70 percent of plant equipment failures stem from improper installation, lack of maintenance or incorrect start-up and shutdown procedures. When equipment fails, the biggest cost is time —production time and maintenance staff time. Add to that the price of repairing or replacing components more often than planned, and the total cost of ownership soars. To reduce  unplanned maintenance and avoid unnecessary replacement costs, John Crane Equipment Service oversees critical systems checks and plant equipment maintenance, as well as engineered component repair, removal and reinstallation services. Assistance can be provided during unplanned shutdowns to get equipment back up and running quickly, or during planned maintenance to optimize your process and achieve your shutdown window.

After normal use, the majority of our seals can be returned to a John Crane Service Center for refurbishment at a fraction of the cost of a new product.  We clean and inspect the incoming parts to determine the extent of the work to be performed and to identify which components need replacement. On receipt of approval from the customer our certified technicians perform the work necessary to return the product to "like new" condition, using only OEM materials and work procedures.

John Crane customers benefit from access to the company"s global network of advanced Gas Seal Service Centres, which make an unparalleled wealth of sealing expertise easily available.    Providing facilities such as engineering services, failure analysis, refurbishment and testing services, bonded stock holding of spares and both in-house and on-site support provided by qualified and experienced John Crane engineers, Service Centres offer the sort of support that is available only from a genuine market leader.  They also reflect John Crane"s total commitment to increasing seal reliability so reducing the total cost of ownership for each customer.
