Manufactured by Schmidt, the TetraValve XL is a abraisve metering valve that imparts cost-savings through decreasing damage to wear parts, reducing time and money dedicated to maintenance. This is achieved through the pressure vessel remaining pressurized one the deadman handle has been released, known as pressure hold. This valves prevents a slug of abrasive being deposited in the blast hose upon trigger release.
Key features of the TetraValve include
- Better wear resistance in comparison with other valves when used aggressive/dusty abrasives
- Longer use-life compared to the Thompson® Valve and TVII™
- Can be used to upgrade cabinets to pressure-hold
- Highly tolerant diaphram
- Fast disassembly
- Corrosion resistant stainless valve body
- Precision abrasive metering though Virtual Position Indicator (VPI™), that provides a visual representation of abrasive flow
Install a TeraValve™ Conversion Kit on your blast pot and immediately see the productivity, abrasive efficiency and low maintenance benefits of pressure hold versus traditional non-pressure hold blast pots.
