Precision from Start to Finish: How a Cornell Pump Shaft is Made

At Cornell Pump, shaft production is a critical part of ensuring long-lasting, high-efficiency pump performance. We manufacture shafts in-house—from raw material to finished component—with exceptional accuracy and consistency. This is a strength of our pump series, and benefit of purchasing genuine Cornell replacement parts. Currently, we precisely build more 300 shaft versions to address the reliable and robust use in our pumps, some weighing many 100s of lbs because they are robust and overbuilt to withstand the rigorous of difficult 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.
Enhancing Pump Monitoring with Cornell Co-Pilot® Accessory Components

Cornell Pump’s Co-Pilot® and RPM2® systems have transformed pump monitoring, asset tracking, and control. While the Co-Pilot itself brings advanced capabilities like GPS tracking, vibration monitoring, and remote access, it’s the wide range of purpose-built accessory components that allow the system to perform across a variety of demanding applications.
These accessories deliver vital operational data, extend system flexibility, and enhance predictive maintenance — making them an essential part of the Cornell IoT ecosystem.
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.
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.
