John Crane cuts lithium producer's seal costs 48% in first year of reliability program

John Crane helped a major battery-grade lithium producer cut annual mechanical seal spending by 48% and seal consumption by 37% across 362 pumps in the first year of a Managed Reliability Program. The result reverses a five-year decline in reliability and underscores how data-driven maintenance can support lithium supply for batteries and electrification.
