MagnaValves® precisely control the flow of shot by applying power to magnets. By using magnets, these valves have no moving parts which means low-maintenance operation. Precise shot flow control is required for certified shot peening of various parts, especially aerospace parts. MagnaValves® are an integral part of any NADCAP approved peening operation. Plan B Services & Solutions sells MagnaValves® for use on shot peening machines and other applications.
