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.

Introducing the FlexiBase™: Faster Installs, Smarter Support for Agricultural Pumps
When it comes to agricultural pumping systems, speed and ease count—whether you’re installing, servicing, or aligning equipment in the field. That’s why Cornell Pump has introduced a smart new solution: the FlexiBase™ adjustable pump base, designed to simplify installations, enhance stability, and improve overall pump performance.
Cornell STX Self-Priming Pumps—Truly Efficient by Design
When selecting a self-priming pump, it’s easy to focus on specs like flow and lift. But in real-world applications, efficiency is what drives long-term success. Cornell’s STX-Series pumps are engineered to deliver not just performance—but highly efficient, reliable operation that reduces costs and downtime over the life of the pump.
Sizing a Pump for Drip Irrigation: A Practical Guide from the Field
By Ryan Hergenroder, Regional Manager – Southwest Agriculture, Cornell Pump Company
When I’m helping a grower size a pump for a drip irrigation system, we always start with the basics—but the conversation usually goes a lot deeper than just picking a pump off the shelf.
Z-Series
Z-series centrifugal pumps’ robust build and higher efficiencies position the series to offer better results than standard ANSI pumps. Easy access to parts and Cornell quality since 1946 make the Z-Series an easy choice for many industrial and municipal applications.
