Industrial Biotech Equipment Design

At Crawford Biotech, we have our hands in a lot of different industries. Our foundational experience in precision metalworking and equipment engineering is what makes us such a versatile and valuable partner. Years ago, we had a customer contact us to build a bovine serum plant. We hadn’t made one of these before, but after learning what their process involved it was obvious that we had extensive experience with every operation.

We worked together to design the plant and after it was operational, the customer said, “You must have lost money on this job.” We asked why they thought that. They said because we were dramatically more affordable than a quote they had from another vendor. We bid jobs fairly, build quality equipment to your specifications, and will not stop until you are absolutely happy. That’s why word of mouth is such an effective method of “advertising” for us.

When you contact us, you will be connected with a project manager. This individual will be your single point of contact from that time forward and will take you through the steps of design, fabrication, installation, and training. You will meet more of our team as your project progresses, but your project manager will be with you every step of the way.

Our goal is to make communication easy and seamless since these projects are often quite complex. Nobody likes to be handed off to someone else, or to have to worry if everyone on a project is on the same page.

We have lots of experience with the following fields which are common in biotech, manufacturing, and agricultural projects:

• Tanks and hoppers of all shapes, sizes, and materials
• Pumps for nearly any material and application
• Electric and steam heating of materials
• Fume removal
• Equipment for high hazard areas
• Process measurement: temperature, flow, density, conductivity, pH, turbidity, pressure, weight
• Mixing: axial turbines, hydrofoils, impellers, propellers, recirculation, magnetically levitating mixers, vessel fluid dynamics
• Separation: liquid from solids, different particle size solids from each other
• Refrigeration and process cooling
• Control panels and automation
• CIP / SIP
• Work platforms, catwalks, stairs
• Process piping and skids
