Every Fry Goes Through A Cornell Pump ...

Here's a new ad from McDonald's® promoting their fries as being fresh from the ground. Frank's potatoes start out great, but then they get even better. Because only high quality potatoes are good enough to make McDonald's® fries. And only high quality pumps are good enough to pump those soon-to-be fries. McDonald's® chooses Cornell Pump Company pumps to pump their fries through hot oil. We are proud to be part of this American iconic tradition. Call your Cornell Pump representative today for quotes and more.

Puck Custom Enterprises: A Comparison of 3 Pumps

Here's a great post from Nancy over at PUCK CUSTOM ENTERPRISES. Today, they are covering an example of how to read Cornell pump curves properly and they also throw in a few different variables. They do say "These are very basic and incomplete examples. Estimates were made on Head loss through the hose. Estimates were made on NPSH Required. Terrain, elevation, and temperature were not considered. MANURE WAS NOT CONSIDERED."

Self-Priming 18NHFL's installed in Brussels South ...

Six (6) 18NHFL-RP-F24K: Assembled and Installed

There are two major waste water treatment plants in Brussels: Brussels North and Brussels South. Six (6) Cornell 18NHFL's have been installed during the end of 2010 in the waste water treatment plant of Brussels South. The plant has been online since February of 2011.

Before the installation of this new process, the sludge circulation to the decantation basins were producing foam and the particles were floating at the waters surface. Too much air was being trapped with the sludge particles and the particles were not settling to the bottom of the decantation tanks. It was then decided that another step needed to be added to the process: pumping sludge from the lower tank to the upper tank with CORNELL SELF-PRIMING PUMPS. The SELF-PRIMING PUMPS help remove the excess air from the sludge before it is pumped into the upper tanks and comes into contact with the surface mixers. See here a picture of the tests, taking samples before and after the addition of the CORNELL SELF-PRIMING PUMPS.

Because of Cornell's SELF-PRIMING capacities, HYDRO+ could install the pumps at ground level in a new building. Each of the CORNELL SELF-PRIMING PUMPS connected to the suctions of the three lower tanks, which in turn, pumped to the upper tanks. The civil works was therefore minimized (The corps' Civil Works program involves flood control, water supply, hydroelectric power generation, navigation, recreation, and environmental regulation. The boundaries for the Civil Works program often follow watersheds or parts of watersheds).

Cornell's SELF-PRIMING PUMPS also aided in the removal of air bubbles that were trapped in the water (which at times can be heavily loaded with air). From time to time but mostly during slow pumping periods, one could actually hear the vacuum pumps extracting the air that had already been separated from the water by turbulence. That means that without the SELF-PRIMING PUMPS, the main pumps would lose their prime because of the excess air. These pumps now have two functions within the HYDRO+ application: The initial priming at start-up and extracting the excess air during the pumping process.

These pumps are driven by 90kW electric motors and are controlled by variable frequency drives that operate between 400rpm and 600rpm at the pump shaft. The maximum hydraulic efficiency of the pumps are 87.3%!

Thank you to Nicolas Lefèvr of HYDRO+ for providing the information for this article.

Frito Lay and Cornell Pumps ...

We can pump cold stuff and we've proven that, but what about hot stuff? Cornell water pumps were once again modified to pump hot compressor and cooking oils. Now virtually all Frito-Lay fried products in the U.S.A. (i.e. potato chips, corn chips) are cooked with Cornell equipped fryers and the potatoes that make those chips are pumped through Cornell pumps.

REGIONAL PUMP SCHOOLS

BY DUANE HARGIS:

During 2010, Cornell Pump Company was able to join efforts with two of our Municipal Representatives, to produce two Regional Pump Schools in the Eastern Region. The first school was held in Charlotte, N.C. on April 28, and the other one in Holyoke, Massachusetts on November 9.

Mechanical Equipment Company (MECO), and Water and Waste Equipment, our Representatives in the Carolinas’ and New England respectively, did a great job of promoting the schools in their territories. By sending out mailers, e-mails, calling their customers and acquiring CEU certification, both companies were able to exceed 60 people in attendance at the Schools. (CEU certifications were acquired at local Junior Colleges in their respective areas.) The attendees included local City Officials and operators, as well as A&E firms in the region. “Ten A&E firms were represented at the Pump School, along with five industrial customers” commented MECO’s Chad Johnson. “Multiple attendees approached MECO’s Engineered Sales team with accolades regarding the quality of the topics covered. The Pump School afforded us with the opportunity to engage our customers without distractions. As a result, we have received several inquires for Municipal and Regenerative Turbine Projects.”

Presentations were made on the following topics: System Design, Energy Efficiency, System Head Curves (including pumps in series and parallel), Hydraulic Institute Standards, NPSH, Pump Installation and Care, and Hydro Turbines. Cornell presentations were made by Robert Ray (Charlotte), Steve Schoenbrun (Charlotte and Holyoke) and Jeff Meiners (Holyoke). MECO’s Scott Fletcher presented the NPSH class in the Charlotte, N.C. School.

Both schools were held at a local hotel in their respective areas, and started at 8:00 am and concluded around 2:00 pm with catered lunches. “Jeff and Steve did a great job with their presentations” said Ray Bahr, of Water and Waste equipment. “The audience stayed attentive and interacted frequently, asking questions and having ongoing discussions with them.”

Regional Pump Schools have shown to be an excellent way to promote Cornell Pump Products, as well as, further developing relationships with our Representatives and their customers. Looking forward in the coming year………………you never know, there could be a Cornell Pump School coming soon, in a location near you!!

THE NATIONAL FARM MACHINERY SHOW

BY LLOYD SPANKE:

The 46th National Farm Machinery Show (February 16-19, 2011) in Louisville, KY. is the largest indoor farm show in America and it covers 27 acres of exhibit space. With more than 850 exhibitors and over 300,000 attendees, this is one big show. It also includes the nation’s oldest indoor tractor pull.

Three of Cornell’s top dealers: Bambauer Equipment, Bazooka Farmstar and Cadman Power Equipment are exhibitors. In talking with these three dealers, they feel this is a very worthwhile show to exhibit. After spending time in each of their booths and seeing the steady flow of traffic first hand, I would agree with them. Spending time in my dealers’ booths gives me the opportunity to talk with the end users of our pumps and answer questions that they may have, as well as learn more about their applications. Both Bambauer Equipment and Cadman Power Equipment did a great job in displaying our pumps and all three always do a great job in promoting them. Bambauer featured one of their trailer mounted pumping units with a 6NHTB19 pump and also a separate 6NHTB19-F18DBK pump. Cadman had one of our ever popular 4NHTB cutaway pumps and also a 6NHTB19-F18DBK pump.

As mentioned above, the most popular manure handling pump so far this year is the 6NHTB19. I have had orders of 5-10 units at a time from several of my dealers already this year. One of the main reasons for this increase in popularity is that this pump gives the custom pumpers the ability to increase the GPM output of their systems from 1200-1400gpm to over 2000gpm. Puck Custom Enterprises has been the leader in developing these larger systems and they say a custom pumper can gain an additional $8.00 per minute by upgrading to a system that will pump an additional 800gpm. By pumping an additional 800gpm over a 10 hour run time, which for a custom pumper is not unusual, could mean a gain of $4,800 in pay for that 10 hour period. By doing some simple math, you can see why this is one hot pump!
