HISTORY OF JOHN CRANE

 

For years, Subject, a world leader of engineered sealing systems and now a member of Smiths Group PLC, has sought to take sealing technology to new heights. They constantly strive to push the envelope, exceeding customer expectations and surpassing the industry standards.


Founded in 1917 as Crane Packing Company, the company established several facilities throughout the United States, Canada and England. Prior to World War II, Crane Packing sold its England-based operations to a company known as Tube Investments, the company that eventually became known as TI Group PLC .


In 1951, Crane Packing Company moved from its Chicago, IL, location to its current site in Morton Grove, IL. The complex is located on 26 acres of land and includes five buildings. In 1987, the company was purchased by TI Group PLC. Through a series of acquisitions and divestitures, the company in the United States and the company in the United Kingdom were once again united, this time under the name John Crane.


Since the reunification in 1987, John Crane has established itself as a truly global organization. In their united commitment to provide superior service to customers and to be the technological leader in the sealing industry, John Crane continues to invest for growth. In 1998, John Crane acquired three additional sealing companies, Sealol, Safematic and Flexibox. These companies expanded John Crane's product lines and its global presence to include high quality welded metal bellows seals, focused sealing and lubrication products to serve the pulp and paper market and high temperature and high pressure cartridge seals for pipeline and refinery services.


Crane Packing Company initially manufactured packing and gasketing, which continue to be a John Crane offering today. Subject mechanical packing is sold under the name Rite-Pack¨ and may be purchased in pre-cut rings or by the pound. The Mechanical Packing Division also produces flat gaskets and live-load packing for valves. Today, John Crane produces 238,900 miles of braided packing each year - enough to reach to the moon.


The company also invented the first automotive mechanical seal in 1939. They currently produce millions of seals for American automotive companies and for the automotive aftermarket. In the early 1940s, John Crane developed and introduced patented end face shaft seals, called John Crane Type 1. An elastomer bellows seal, this product revolutionized sealing technology and is still one of the most widely used seals in the industry. Other patented mechanical seals for rotating equipment followed, creating an ongoing John Crane customer service philosophy: the right seal for the right application. In the 1980s, John Crane introduced yet another breakthrough in sealing technology: the Type 28 non-contacting, gas-lubricated gas seal. This is a seal designed for centrifugal compressors. Its creation revolutionized pipeline compressor stations from the mountains of Western Canada to the deserts of the Middle East and the jungles of the Far East.

In the 1990s, John Crane applied its non-contacting technology to pumps handling liquids that are hazardous to the environment. By applying this technology to a standard American National Standards Institute (ANSI) or American Petroleum Institute (API) pump, a user can easily meet and exceed the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) stringent regulations for hazardous emissions. This technology was successfully applied to those applications where the seal is operating near the boiling point of the fluid being sealed. Materials such as liquid nitrogen, argon and oxygen found on the mobile tank trucks are being sealed with non-contacting seals. These seals, operating at cryogenic temperatures, have a major impact in reducing the cost of operating equipment. Other applications, such as vaporizing hydrocarbons, are also being sealed with this technology. Their new low speed design handles conditions found on mixers and agitators. This area of application is significant in that liquid lubrication is eliminated and the highest purity of product in the vessel is maintained. The Sealol acquisition strengthened the John Crane line of welded bellows seals. These seals provide service to very low and very high temperature operations, allowing John Crane to offer the most extensive line of mechanical seals in the industry.

John Crane is now a subsidiary of Smiths Group PLC, the new company formed following the merger of Smiths Industries and TI Group. With a global sales force organized around market sectors and service centers geographically convenient to their customers, John Crane continues to be committed to outstanding service and finding just the right solution for all sealing system requirements.

DART 1 WIRELESS MONITORING SYSTEM

 

NEW JOHN CRANE PRODUCT TAKES EFFECTIVE MACHINERY MONITORING TO A HIGHER LEVEL

 

John Crane UK Limited has introduced an advanced new method of wirelessly monitoring the condition of rotating equipment and associated machinery in difficult or hazardous environments. Building on John Crane's experience in remote monitoring technologies, the new DART 1 wireless monitoring system provides operators with the accurate and reliable information they require to make informed decisions about plant and machinery conditions.

The ATEX Zone 1 certified DART 1 system can be used in numerous hazardous area applications. Machinery located inside platform legs can be monitored round–the-clock without the need for personnel to enter the area themselves; while critical equipment mounted inside enclosures can be assessed without the need for access or for safety systems to be overridden. Even normally inaccessible equipment such as fin fans, pedestal cranes or unmanned installations can be monitored easily and reliably.

The DART 1 system combines a series of battery-powered sensor nodes and a gateway facility with proprietary John Crane software. Each sensor node is a wireless data acquisition and processing system which can be configured to take detailed measurements, at user-defined intervals, on the performance of the equipment being monitored.

The sensors then carry out significant onboard signal processing which reduces the amount of data that needs to be sent back to the gateway unit over the wireless link.  This enables each DART 1 sensor node to operate for up to 8 years between battery changes. The wireless method of operation reduces both the cost and time required for installation and multiple sensor nodes can transmit data back to one gateway unit. They can also act as wireless routers which allow data to be 'multi-hop' transmitted, wirelessly, over larger distances than would otherwise be possible.

The DART 1 system can be accessed remotely and securely via the internet, allowing the condition of machinery to be monitored from any location in the world using just a standard computer. The system is virtually maintenance-free, can be configured to provide data for third-party systems and set to turn off automatically and ensure radio silence when required.  

"The strength of DART 1 is the combination of flexibility, reliability and safety that it provides," comments Colin Ure, General Manager, John Crane UK.  "It is ideal for routine monitoring and for short-term data capture or performance testing exercises on critical machines. It can also be used in root cause analysis projects, or situations where round-the-clock surveillance is required after routine logging has failed to pinpoint an intermittent fault."

The new DART 1 wireless system provides operators with the accurate and reliable information required to make informed decisions about plant and machinery conditions.
