Stainless Steel Pumps for Food Processing

When it comes to food pumps, AISI 304 Stainless steel is the material of choice. It offers corrosion resistance and greater tensile strength than cast iron at a cost considerably lower than 316 stainless steel.

Cornell Pump offers twelve models of hydro-transport pumps in 304 stainless steel, with the three most common models in-stock for quick delivery. All of Cornell's hydro-transport pumps come standard with the innovative Cycloseal®, and offset volutes to prevent product damage.

Cornell Factory Will Be Closed September 1st for Labor Day

Cornell Pump will be closed this coming Monday for the observance of Labor Day. On this day celebrating labor, we've chosen a few of our favorite historic photos of the Cornell Factory to share with you.
While the technology we use has changed vastly over the years, one thing has not: the dedication our employees have to building the highest quality pumps, right here in America.

Hot Summer Days, Cool Treats

On a hot August day, all manufacturing staff received an ice cream treat to help them cool off. Evoking memories of childhood, racing bicycles, and tightly clasped money, the ice cream truck paid a visit to Cornell to liven up the day of the hard working manufacturing staff. All ice cream was paid for by operations, and staff could pick their favorite from an assortment of bars, cones, cups, and popsicles.

Cornell Pump is STEM-centric!

Colleen Kennedy at work

Cornell Pump is pleased to be involved in an innovative effort to better equip Oregon Teachers to promote science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) careers. As part of the intensive four day curriculum, Cornell Pump project engineer Colleen Kennedy will explain the ‘real life’ applications of science learning in a career such as an engineer, and will contribute to discussions about better engaging all students in STEM-centric classes.

Cornell Hosts Military Warriors for Columbia River Fishing

Cornell Pump is proud to help support the Military Warriors Support Foundation, a 501(c)(3) non-profit charity. The foundation's mission is to provide support for USA combat wounded heroes and Gold Star Families as they transition out of the military and into their new civilian life. Programs include home donation, academic and employment assistance, as well as recreational activities.

Cornell Pump hosted four military warriors for a day of fishing on the Columbia River. Designed to help reintegrate the heroes back into civilian life, the event was meaningful AND fun-filled.  From the photo you can see some were very successful in their quest to land a great fish--all were successful in honoring the veterans' and their families dedication.

For more information about the foundation, please visit www.militarywarriors.org/about.

Cornell Pump will be hosting a golf tournament in Camas, Washington on Saturday August 2, 2014 in support of the foundation. Contact Cornell Pump if you are interested in playing or being a sponsor. ALL proceeds raised will be donated to the foundation.
