Engineered Beyond ANSI Standards
The Z Series is dimensionally ANSI-compatible, meaning it fits standard ANSI B73.1 piping and mounting configurations. But unlike commodity ANSI pumps, the Z Series delivers enhanced durability, efficiency, and operating life — reducing total cost of ownership while maintaining interchangeability.
Key Features That Set the Z Series Apart in Food Processing Applications:
- Engine Mounted and Close Coupled Configurations
Flexible mounting options allow the Z Series to fit a variety of plant layouts — whether direct-coupled to an engine for portable applications or close coupled to a motor for inline systems. Also comes in standard frame mount. - Enclosed Impeller
Designed for maximum efficiency and gentle product handling, the enclosed impeller improves hydraulic performance and extends component life in food-grade and process water applications. - Double Volute Construction
Reduces radial thrust and minimizes wear on bearings and seals — essential for pumps operating in continuous-duty food processing environments. - Redi-Prime® and RunDry™ Capable
With Cornell’s patented Redi-Prime® system, pumps can prime and re-prime automatically without manual intervention. The RunDry™ option allows the pump to operate temporarily without liquid, protecting seals during challenging conditions like start-up, priming cycles, or unexpected dry runs. - Hydraulic Balance Line
The balance line reduces axial thrust, decreases stuffing box pressure, and improves overall efficiency — all contributing to longer seal and bearing life. - Co-Pilot® Ready
The Z Series comes prepped for Cornell Co-Pilot®, our IoT-based monitoring system that tracks temperature, vibration, and performance data in real time, helping prevent downtime and optimize maintenance schedules.
Built for Demanding Applications
With oversized shafts, oil-lubricated bearings, and rugged construction in ductile iron or CD4MCu duplex stainless steel, the Z Series is ideal for handling everything from process liquids to wastewater in food and beverage facilities.
Backed by Cornell’s ISO 9001:2015 certification and a two-year warranty, the Z Series offers the strength, flexibility, and innovation food processors expect — with the reliability that has defined Cornell for nearly 80 years.
