The Barnes family of pump products from Crane Pumps & Systems provides versatility, high performance and great value. For more than a century, municipalities, engineers, plumbing contractors, builders and developers have relied on Barnes wastewater pumps and pressure sewer systems for reliability and durability. From fractional horsepower sump pumps to robust grinder and chopper pumps, Barnes delivers innovative, cost-effective solids-handling pump solutions.
One of the main issues plaguing customers has been and will continue to be the changing waste stream’s capability to handle solids. This led to the development of the Barnes SH Non-Clog and SITHE Chopper products. The SITHE chopper features a patented open-center cutter design, field replaceable heat-treated stainless steel blades, and plug-and-play cord, making it the preferred pump of choice in municipal wastewater applications, especially those with clogging issues. Furthermore, Barnes understood the rising demand for a more efficient submersible pump that could attain premium efficient, IE3, motor ratings. Utilizing their proven nonclog and chopper technologies, they introduced the envie3 motor line. These pumps took Barnes’ proven nonclog and chopper wet ends and outfitted them with a premium efficient motor that can run in both wet applications and dry pits, as well as in horizontal or vertical configurations. The development of this platform expanded the portfolio and pushed the envelope on one solution solving a variety of needs.
The RAZOR grinder pump
For those who don’t have a ton of flow or who need a lot of head at their waste station, while still focusing on this clogging issue, Barnes has also launched a new and improved grinder platform. The RAZOR grinder 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 nonbiodegradable items. This grinder product is especially useful in pressure sewer systems. The Barnes’ pressure sewer system with the Razor grinder can reduce installation costs, increase system flexibility and limit the overall environmental impact of the sanitary sewer system. Its flexible capabilities allow it to be a turnkey solution or easily integrated into existing systems.
Barnes’ innovation doesn’t stop there. Their offering expands to sewage ejectors and sump pumps that are used in smaller applications as well. Designed for long operational life, quiet operation and dependable service, Barnes has your residential needs covered.
