Celebrating National Potato Day–Tuesday, August 19th

Cornell Pump helps keep the world’s most popular tuber moving—literally. From harvest to processing, our pumps play a vital role in how potatoes become the chips, fries, and hashbrowns enjoyed around the globe.

How Cornell Pumps Keep Potatoes Flowing

  • P & PP Series Hydro-Transport Pumps – Specially engineered to gently move potatoes from receiving to processing without bruising. Millions of pounds of potatoes travel through Cornell hydro-transport pumps every harvest season.
  • Hot Oil Pumps – Critical for cooking potato chips, fries, hashbrowns, and other fried products, maintaining precise oil temperatures for consistent, high-quality results.
  • STX-A Series Pumps – Handle wastewater in potato processing plants efficiently, supporting compliance with environmental regulations.
  • Z-Series ANSI Pumps – Reliable solutions for plant processing, moving wash water and process liquids with high efficiency.

National Potato Day Facts

  • Potatoes are grown in over 125 countries worldwide.
  • The average American consumes nearly 50 pounds of fresh potatoes and more than 55 pounds of processed potatoes each year.
