Pump School 2018 is off to a great start, with over 200 attendees, great weather, and lots of excitement over Cornell’s new PiloT IIoT module, Cyclone vertical turbine pumps, and the new eCatalog.
Attendees are gaining valuable knowledge on pump parts, selection, system design, and much, much more.

Irvine Ranch Water District, in Orange County, California, held a regional pump school at their training facility on Wednesday, August 15, 2018.
Dozens of operators and engineers learned from Cornell Pump municipal market manager, Ron Aceto, as well as enjoying In-N-Out Burger for lunch.
If you’re interested in additional training from Cornell Pump, consider attending our annual Pump School , held September 18&19, 2018 in Portland, Oregon.
At Cornell, we don’t monkey around. We take our fun seriously! For Cornell Pump Company’s summer party on August 4th, employees enjoyed a buffet lunch at the Oregon Zoo with hot dogs, hamburgers, and ice cream. Kids met a golden eagle brought out by zoo handlers, and in addition to the zoo exhibits, everyone had the opportunity to ride the zoo train or carousel.
We wish our customers and their families a fun and safe 4th of July holiday. Please note that the Cornell offices will be closed on Wednesday, July 4th, in observance of Independence day. Our office will reopen on Thursday, July 5th.
For more than 70 years, Cornell pumps have been among the most efficient in the industry. Our engineers take care in designing robust pumps with excellent hydraulics.

The efficiency difference can be significant though—the Cornell 6RB pump, with 88% efficiency, has a Brake Horse Power of 124 versus another manufacturer’s pump at 78% efficiency and 139.9 Brake Horse Power. If using electricity at 11 cents per Kilowatt hour, the Cornell Pump would save more than $3,000 a year when run 3000 hours a year. Over five years, the savings is more than $20,000!
Our Pump-Flo sizing program offers examinations of run conditions/ efficiencies of Cornell clear liquids and solids handling pumps.

Cornell Pump Company will be closed on Monday, May 28th, in observance of Memorial day.
May 5th was Derby Day in Kentucky; it was also Derby Day in Clackamas! The inaugural Cornell Pump Pinewood Derby was held for both children and adults, in conjunction with an open house to show off employees’ work place to their families.
Winners of the Cornell Pinewood Derby -Clockwise from top left: Alec, fastest car; Drew, most innovative; Savannah, best design; Adult’s league fastest car and best design, Michele Lukowski.
There were thrills, spills, fast cars, and elation. In the end, awards were given for fastest cars and best designs in both the child and adult categories. Every child participant received a goodie bag, and there were plenty of games, food carts, and giveaways for the whole family.
Cornell hosts great events throughout the year. Right now, we have several open positions; if you or a friend would like to join our team, you can be on board for our next family outing, the summer picnic!
Cornell’s new instructional video explains how to replace a seal on a pump with a threaded impeller. Useful in manure, as well as some industrial and mining applications, the video can be viewed in conjunction with many of the other instructional videos on Cornell Pump’s YouTube channel. We cover a range of topics, from replacing wear rings, changing bearings on refrigeration pumps, how to install packing and lantern rings, pulling impellers, and more.
If you have a Cornell Pump maintenance topic you’d like to see covered in a video, please let us know; e-mail info@cornellpump.com. We’re shooting new videos every month!
Cornell self-priming pumps replaced electrical submersibles in a tomato processing plant. The pumps are used in the trash wash phase, where tomatoes are cleaned prior to being processed. This wastewater stream carries leaves, grit, dirt; stems, and other materials.
The electric submersibles were unreliable, often failing, and backing up the wastewater into the facility. Given the need to expeditiously process the tomatoes in the short growing season, the delays were very costly to the plant.
The Cornell 6-inch self-primers worked flawlessly.
Cornell Pump, in conjunction with our distributor Endesol, is in Lexington, Kentucky for a regional Pump School.
Dozens of engineers and water operators are learning about municipal applications today.
To see an expanded school offering, check out our annual Pump School in September.
