Overview
The Electronics Inc 999320 MagnaValve (model 179-DC) is a normally closed magnetic valve engineered for precision control of ferrous media flow in shot peening and blast cleaning systems. This valve maintains consistent, repeatable flow rates essential for meeting aerospace specifications such as SAE AMS 2430D and other demanding industrial standards.
Key Features
- No moving parts—completely sealed design eliminates maintenance and media dust ingress
- Rare earth permanent magnet for fail-safe normally closed operation
- Electromagnet for precise flow regulation and control
- Flow rates up to 175 lb/min (79.38 kg/min) on S230 shot
- 24 Vdc operation with low power consumption
- Prevents shot leakage during power interruption or failure
- CE compliant for international markets
