Cornell Pump Employee Picnic: Great Time on the Willamette

Where Every Golden Fry Meets Cornell engineering.

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?

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.
