Cornell Pump Company started in 1946 when five co-workers at Pacific Pump Company formed their own company. Originally specializing in creating pump systems and servicing various manufacturers’ pumps, Cornell became familiar with what was causing most pump operational failures.
Using that knowledge, in 1949 they set out to design Rain-O-Flow irrigation pumps to address irrigation specific issues, and incorporate features and benefits that solved recurring problems that had been observed when repairing other irrigation pumps.
From there, Cornell has grown over the last 65 years into one of the most innovative, efficient, and effective pumps manufacturers in the world.
Cornell originated many innovations in pump design including, Cycloseal® and Redi-Prime® . The Cycloseal® design, with its unique deflector vanes, works with the impeller backvanes to create a cyclo-action. This action removes solids and abrasive material from the seal area while purging air and gas pockets – extending seal life and eliminating any need for venting or water flush. Cycloseal ® extends the life of seals up to three times as long as compared with a standard seal.
The Redi-Prime® fully automated priming and re-priming system allows rapid, unattended priming of pumps. The system can handle large-sized solids, while the valve eliminates any liquid carry over—leading to an environmental-friendly installation.
