Description

Clemco Quantum Manual Abrasive Metering Valve w/ Wye Pipe # 22845
New Clemco Quantum manual abrasive metering valve precisely meters all common blast abrasives. This allows the user to switch to the appropriate abrasive for the job, without changing the metering valve.
The Quantum is standard on all Contractor Blast Machines and w
orks with all common blast media.
For maximum productivity, use clean, dry, properly-graded and screened abrasive.
Description of Operation
The quantum is operated by a knob that controls the movement of a flat metering plate placed horizontally across the opening of the bottom of the blast machine. Abrasive is gravity fed from the blast machine cone onto the top of the metering plate. Placing the metering plate horizontally beneath the vertical flow of abrasive keeps the area above the plate filled with abrasive. This ensures uniform abrasive flow, whether the valve is partially or fully open.

Optimum flow depends on the type and size of the abrasive and blasting pressure, and can best be determined by experience. Use as little abrasive as possible while maintaining the maximum cleaning rate. The air/abrasive mixture should be mainly air. As a rule, the stream of abrasive coming out of the nozzle should barely discolor the air when seen against a contrasting background. By doing this you can save on the consumption of abrasive media and increase the rate of production.
This Quantum Abrasive Metering Valve does not include the tank coupling or the Flexible Pusher line (Red Hose)
