Description
The WM 3000-24 MagnaValve™ is a normally closed magnetic valve that regulates the flow of steel shot and grit in wheel
blast machines for blast cleaning applications. It is a powerful valve with a flow rate capacity of up to 3,000 lb/min (1,361 kg/
min) for wheels up to 125 hp. The MagnaValve’s valve driver comes with a 6-ft cable for remote installation in the customer’s
electrical panel, making it an ideal valve for blast machines in high temperature environments.
The MagnaValve works with its companion controller, the AC-24 Controller, and customer-supplied motor
current transformer (0 -5 Amps signal) to regulate wheel motor amperage to any value from no-load to
full-motor load (the Remote Valve Driver comes with a 6 ft. 6-pin plug/cable for easy connection to a AC-24
Controller). This closed-loop system provides accurate and repeatable flow rates of up to 3,000 lb/min (1,361
kg/min). The EI POT-24 Controller provides “manual” open loop control.
