The Model VLP MagnaValve is a normally closed valve used to regulate steel shot or
grit in wheel blast systems. The valve is constructed with a permanent magnet to hold
media until power is applied. An electromagnet cancels the permanent magnet and
allows the media to flow at a controlled rate when the valve is powered and operating.
A desired flow rate may be achieved by regulating the voltage to the electromagnet.
The VLP MagnaValve can be used in manual or automatic mode. In manual (or open
loop) mode, a model 102 Power Pack or a MC Controller is used to adjust the flow
rate. For automatic (or closed loop) operation, an AC Shot Flow Controller will detect
the load placed on the Wheel motor and regulate the flow of media. This closed loop
system will provide accurate and repeatable flow rates over a 200 -1000 pounds/
minute flow range.
*Flow rates are based on S230 shot.
