The Axxiom TeraValve – 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.
• Genuine Parts – Manufactured by Schmidt® / Axxiom Manufacturing

Note:  Diaphragm-activated piston requires minimum of 75 psi control pressure
