- Abrasive contacts only the rubber sleeve
- No metal-to-abrasive contact
- Significantly reduced wear and longer valve life
?Smooth & Positive Flow Control
- Uniform abrasive discharge
- Reduced pulsation and choking
- Stable blasting pressure
?Simple Construction & Easy Maintenance
- Few moving parts
- Sleeve replacement is quick and economical
- Low downtime
?Reliable Operation
- Performs consistently with steel shot, steel grit, garnet, copper slag, and aluminium oxide
Typical Applications
- Portable air blasting machines
- Blast rooms and cabinets
- Heavy site blasting operations
SYNCO MUSHROOM VALVE
Function
The?mushroom valve?controls abrasive flow using a?rubber-lined poppet (mushroom-shaped)?element that opens and closes the media passage at the blast pot outlet.
