The Updated and Improved MP Series

August 19, 2026

Mining slurry applications are some of the most demanding environments for pump systems. High solids content, abrasive materials, and continuous operation all place significant stress on equipment. To meet these challenges, the updated Cornell MP Pump Series introduces key design improvements focused on durability, performance, and reduced maintenance.

IoT Optimization Pulls a Tomato Grower out of the Red

August 5, 2026

For large agricultural operations, keeping irrigation pumps running efficiently can be a constant challenge. One tomato grower in Central California faced a familiar problem: managing dozens of pumps spread across thousands of acres with limited personnel available to monitor them. As pumps operated unattended, issues such as cavitation, bearing failures, and suction blockages often went unnoticed until they resulted in downtime and costly repairs.

Pre-Harvest Pump Inspection Checklist: Keeping Irrigation Systems Running Through Fall

August 4, 2026

As harvest season approaches, irrigation systems are often working just as hard as they did during peak summer demand. The last thing any grower wants is an unexpected pump failure when crops still depend on consistent water delivery. A pre-harvest inspection can help identify small issues before they turn into costly downtime.

Common Causes of Industrial Pump Failure and How to Prevent Them

July 29, 2026

Industrial pumps are designed to operate reliably in demanding environments, but even the most robust equipment can experience premature failure when underlying issues go unaddressed. Understanding the most common causes of pump failure can help operators reduce downtime, lower maintenance costs, and extend equipment life.

Managing pump performance across seasonal irrigation loads

July 1, 2026

Irrigation systems rarely operate at a constant demand. Throughout the growing season, water requirements shift based on crop stage, weather, and field conditions. These seasonal changes can place stress on pump systems and impact efficiency if not properly managed.

Cornell at the Midwest Food Show: Visit Us in Wisconsin Dells

December 1, 2025

Cornell Pump is excited to join the Midwest Food Show in Wisconsin Dells this year, co-sponsoring a booth with our long-time partner Anderson Processing. If you work in food processing, beverage production, or ingredient handling, this is the perfect opportunity to see why Cornell continues to set the standard for reliability and performance in sanitary pumping.

Preventing Cavitation in Agricultural Pumps

November 25, 2025

Agricultural pumping applications often operate with long suction runs, fluctuating water levels, and debris-laden sources such as ponds, canals, and reservoirs. These conditions make cavitation one of the most common performance problems in the field. Cavitation reduces flow, erodes impellers, increases vibration, and shortens pump life.

How Industrial Pumps Support Critical Manufacturing Processes

November 17, 2025

In every major manufacturing sector—from food processing and chemical production to mining, pulp and paper, and general industry—industrial pumps are the hidden workhorses that keep processes running smoothly. They move raw materials, manage waste streams, regulate heat transfer, and maintain pressure in systems that must operate with precision and reliability. Without pumps, production lines would stop, safety systems would fail, and efficiency would collapse.
