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.

The MagnaValve may be operated by any one of the following controls:

Open Loop Model 102 Power Pak *
Open Loop Model MC Controller
Closed Loop (motor amperage) Model AC Controller & Current Transformer

* Also requires 48Vac 100VA transformer and 10k potentiometer, ordered separately.

MODEL VLP1000 MagnaValve

SPECIFICATIONS

Input: +55Vdc @ .844A PWM
Output: 200-1000lbs/min (approx)

Temp. Range: 23-167° F (0-75° C)
*32-212° F (0-100° C)
Weight 16lbs/ 8kg

*If valve driver is mounted in remote location.

Notes:

• 2 wire connection. Use 16 AWG wire size

• Valve must be within 1.5M (5ft) of wheel

feed spout for best performance

• There must be a 3“ diameter unrestricted
flow path above the valve. Do not use slide
gate or fixed orifice to limit the media flow

VD12 replacement part #: 999187

Remove and mount remote for temperatures above 167° F (75° C)

since this will defeat the “shot blanket” that
protects the valve parts from erosion.
