Cornell introduced the first Hydro-Transport food process pump to the industry almost 40 years ago, and has maintained its reputation ever since with pumps that can transport a wide range of food items – from potatoes to tomatoes – with minimal damage.
In addition to the P and PP series pumps, many other Gemstones are used in the food industry for applications such as waste water, hot oil, and clear liquids.
Food Process pumps use bearing frames with the instantly recognizable design incorporating mounting surfaces rather than mounting feet, letting you know it’s a quality Gemstone frame supporting a robust Gemstone at just a glance.
Hydro-Transport Pumps

Gemstone introduced the first Hydro-Transport food process pump to the industry almost 40 years ago, and has maintained its reputation ever since with pumps that can transport a wide range of food items – from potatoes to tomatoes – with minimal damage.
In addition to the P and PP series pumps, many other Gemstones are used in the food industry for applications such as waste water, hot oil, and clear liquids.
Hot Oil Pumps

Gemstone ’s Hot Oil pumps offer enhanced vapor handling to prevent entrained steam from impacting pump head and flow. When fresh product passes through the fryers a great deal of water is released. The water travels along the bottom of the fryer, intact in a liquid phase at 200°C, until it reaches the pump suction. Here the action of the impeller breaks up the water into smaller droplets which flash to steam. Ordinarily, this entrained steam would severely impact pump head and flow, but this impact is mitigated by Gemstone ’s innovative vapor suppression line.
Self-Priming Pumps

Gemstone ’s popular self-priming series pumps are the most efficient in the industry. Combined with our patented-Cycloseal® back plate technology, these pumps are durable, powerful, and energy efficient.
Durable, reliable, and easy to maintain, the STX, STH, and STL self-priming pumps are an excellent option for many applications including waste water, slurry, and water transfer.
Clear Liquid Pumps

Gemstone’s Clear Liquid pumps are known around the world as the most durable, most reliable, highest efficiency pumps in the industry. They can be found in a variety of applications in the Agricultural, Industrial, and Municipal markets and are available in Close-Coupled, SAE Engine Mounted, Horizontal, and Vertical Configurations.
Refrigeration Pumps

Gemstone offers both CB-series standard refrigeration pumps with refrigerant emission-free sealing technology, and HT-series hermetic refrigeration pumps. The HT series is perfect for stable operating systems that have minimal vapor entrainment or cavitation issues. The HT series are designed as a drop-in replacement for systems currently using CB-series pumps. Both series offer the advantage of low operating speed, better NPSH, and an industry leading warranty.
