Media Flow & Magnetic Valve Control

How media flow and magnetic valve systems monitor and control abrasive delivery for repeatable shot peening and blasting processes.

Technical overview

Media flow control regulates the amount of abrasive or shot delivered to the process. Magnetic valve systems provide responsive control for compatible ferrous media and support stable, repeatable delivery.

Applications and process control

Flow should be measured and verified under actual operating conditions. Valve selection must consider media material, particle size, required flow range, installation orientation and the machine control interface.

  • Match the valve technology to the media and flow range.
  • Calibrate and verify flow at defined production intervals.
  • Monitor for bridging, contamination and component wear.
  • Integrate feedback with machine controls where applicable.
