Description

The VLP-24 MagnaValve® is a normally closed magnetic valve that regulates the ow of steel shot and grit in wheel

blast machines. The VLP-24 is maintenance free — it has no moving parts so there are no parts to wear or break and

it is completely sealed to prevent media dust from entering the valve.

How It Works

The VLP-24 has rare earth permanent magnets for normally closed operation and an electromagnet for controlling

shot ow rates. With power applied, the magnetic eld is neutralized and shot is allowed to ow through the valve.

When no power is applied to the MagnaValve, the permanent magnets stop all ow. If the power is interrupted for

any reason, the permanent magnets securely hold the shot, thereby virtually eliminating shot leakage.

Closed or Open Loop Operation

For an “automatic” closed-loop operation, an Electronics Inc. (EI) AC-24 Controller will detect the current

load on the wheel motor and regulate the ow of media to the VLP-24. This closed-loop system will provide

accurate and repeatable ow rates over a 200 - 1000 lb/min (91 - 453 kg/min) range. The EI POT-24 Controller

(sold separately) provides “manual” open loop control. Data sheets available for download at www.electronics-inc.com:
