Description

The LP2000/VAR MagnaValve is a normally closed magnetic valve that regulates the ow of steel shot and grit in wheel

blast machines. The LP2000/VAR 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.

The LP2000/VAR 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.

The LP2000/VAR MagnaValve is controlled with a Variac. A Variac is a variable AC transformer that pro-

vides 0-120 Vac output voltage to the MagnaValve. With zero volts applied to the MagnaValve, the

permanent magnets hold the shot. Application of voltage will cancel the permanent magnets’ hold-

ing force and allow the shot to ow. Higher voltages will provide higer shot ow rates. The Variac is

included with the LP2000/VAR MagnaValve.

The LP2000/VAR MagnaValve provides a high degree of media control but it will not recognize fault

conditions such as low ow rates. Visit the Electronics Inc. website for other valve series which work

with the AC amperage controller.* The AC Controller has a large digital display for motor amps and

high/low alarms.

A clear and comprehensive instruction manual simplies installation of the LP2000/VAR. The Magna-

Valve is factory tested and results are supplied upon request. In addition, the products are supported

by the Electronics Inc. application engineering sta.

Smaller sizes of stainless steel cut wire shot will not work with this MagnaValve model. For those

applications, see model VLP1000/VAR for 1000 lb/min capacity.*
