Schmidt® Metering TeraValve XL
The industry-proven Schmidt TeraValve™ XL metering valve is revolutionary in its ability to provide high performance abrasive metering while boasting an enhanced service life.
- Durable. The XL (extended life) technology offers more durability – even when blasting with aggressive media like aluminum oxide or steel grit.
- Convenient. No special modifications are required to swap an older pressure-hold valve (like the Thompson) to a Tera. Even older pressure-release pots can be upgraded with a TeraValve Retrofit Kit, as long as there is at least 6″ clearance from the bottom of the pot.
- Preferred. BlastOne provides the Tera Valve as standard equipment on all new blast equipment. In addition, we use them in our own rental fleet.
Schmidt® Metering TeraValve XL
SKU: P-GV2130Description
The Axxiom Schmidt TeraValve XL – the next generation abrasive metering valve for blast machines with pressure-hold technology. Featuring:
- Extended Life. Schmidt XL technology utilizes tough metal alloys and internal wipers, reducing premature wear due to dust migration.
- Easy Interchangeability. Customers with older Thompson valves that need rebuilt have an easy alternative. Exchange the old valve with a new TeraValve with no modifications required!
- Efficient. Pressure-hold design maintains pressure in the pot, even with deadman released. This can save up to 15% of abrasive when your projects involve a lot of start-stop blasting. Reduces expensive compressed air consumption too!
- Economical. The compact design of the TeraValve actually costs less than the previous-gen Thompson II valve.
- Available for more applications. Pressure-release pots with limited clearance (where traditional Thompson Valves do not fit) can also benefit. Efficient pressure-hold technology can be used on any blast pot with a minimum of 6″ clearance by installing a TeraValve retrofit kit.
- Choices. Available for piping sizes from as small as 1″ and 1-¼” to the standard offer 1-½” to a massive 2″ size which virtually eliminates pressure drop for high-volume or robotic applications where 2″ supply air hoses are used. Just ensure that the pusher line and threaded coupling sizes are matched to your valve size.
- Compatible. Works in dry blasting or wet MistBlasting applications.
Note: The diaphragm-activated piston requires a minimum of 75 psi control pressure to operate.
