Description
The 590-24 MagnaValve® is a normally closed magnetic valve that regulates the ow of steel shot and grit in wheel blast
machines. The MagnaValve’s maintenance-free construction includes a strong and stable rare earth permanent magnet for
normally closed operation and an electromagnet for controlling shot ow rates. With power applied to the MagnaValve, the
magnetic eld is neutralized and shot is allowed to ow through the valve. When no power is applied to the MagnaValve,
the permanent magnet stops all ow. If the power is interrupted for any reason, the permanent magnet in the valve securely
holds the shot.
When coupled with the EI FC-24 Controller (sold separately), the 590-24 provides accurate and repeatable ow rates in a closed-
loop system, meeting the requirements of AMS 2430, AMS 2432 and other aerospace standards.
Clear and comprehensive installation manuals simplify installation for the 590-24 MagnaValve and the FC-24 Controller.
