The Value of Redundancy in Municipal Pump Systems
In municipal pumping applications, reliability isn’t just a preference—it’s a necessity. Whether handling potable water, stormwater, or wastewater, municipal pump systems must perform without interruption to protect public health, safeguard infrastructure, and comply with regulatory requirements. That’s where redundancy comes in.
Visit Cornell at the Tri-State Seminar — See Us at the Gierlich-Mitchell Booth
Cornell Pump is excited to exhibit at the 2025 Tri-State Seminar, August 5 and 6 at the South Point Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas! You’ll find us inside the Gierlich-Mitchell booth, where we’ll showcase municipal pumping solutions engineered for reliability, efficiency, and demanding applications.
Engineered to Endure: Why High Chrome White Iron Excels in Abrasive Pumping Applications
In environments where abrasion is relentless—mining, manure handling, wastewater processing, and industrial slurry applications—pump failure isn’t just inconvenient; it’s costly. That’s why material choice matters, and why Cornell’s high chrome white iron construction stands out as a superior solution.
Visit Cornell at Manure Expo 2025
Cornell is proud to exhibit again at Manure Expo, taking place July 30–31 at the Fulton County Fairgrounds in Wauseon, Ohio.
Diesel vs. Electric Pump Packages: Matching Power to Application
When it comes to selecting the right pump package for your operation, power source matters. Whether you’re handling dewatering on a remote jobsite, managing municipal flows, or supporting industrial processes, choosing between a diesel-powered or electric-powered pump package can have a major impact on cost, performance, and reliability.
Celebrating National Ice Cream Day — How Pumps Play a Role in Every Scoop
National Ice Cream Day is celebrated every third Sunday in July, thanks to a 1984 proclamation by President Ronald Reagan. He called on Americans to enjoy the “nutritious and wholesome food” that ice cream represents — and today, over 90% of U.S. households do just that.
But while most people think about flavors and toppings, few realize the critical role pumps play in bringing ice cream from farm to freezer.
Importance of Using a Bell Strainer in Agricultural Pumping Applications
When drawing water from rivers, canals, or surface reservoirs, agricultural pumps are exposed to a wide variety of debris and organic material. A bell strainer—also known as a suction bell or foot strainer—is an essential piece of equipment designed to protect both the pump and the overall irrigation system.

Cutters vs. Choppers: Choosing the Right Impeller for Modern Wastewater Challenges
As wastewater compositions evolve—with flushable wipes, fibrous materials, and grease-laden solids now common—traditional non-clog pumps are increasingly unable to cope. Municipalities and industrial users face a critical choice: should they specify a cutter or chopper impeller for their toughest pumping applications?
The Crucial Role of Metallurgy in Mining: Combatting Wear and Corrosion
In the world of mining, few factors impact equipment performance and lifespan more than wear and corrosion. Pumps, in particular, face a relentless barrage of abrasive slurries and chemically aggressive fluids that can prematurely degrade internal components. That’s why metallurgy isn’t just a minor detail; it’s a decisive factor in mining pump system reliability and cost of ownership.
