The Clemco MQV Pro Metering Valve Explained

In the world of abrasive blasting, precision is paramount. The ability to control the flow and pressure of abrasive materials directly influences the efficiency, quality, and safety of the operation. Central to this control is the abrasive metering valve, a critical component that regulates the amount of abrasive material released. With the advent of new technologies, the Clemco MQV Pro Abrasive Metering Valve emerges as a groundbreaking innovation, promising enhanced precision and reliability.

Understanding Abrasive Metering Valves

What Are Abrasive Metering Valves?

Abrasive metering valves are devices designed to regulate the flow of abrasive media from the blast pot to the blast hose. They ensure a consistent and controlled release of abrasive material, which is essential for achieving uniform surface preparation. Traditional metering valves often suffer from issues such as wear and tear, clogging, and inconsistent flow rates. These problems can lead to downtime, increased operational costs, and subpar blasting results.

The Innovation Behind Clemco MQV Pro

The Clemco MQV Pro is the result of extensive research and development. Engineers and technicians have worked tirelessly to address the shortcomings of traditional valves, integrating cutting-edge technology and superior materials. The result of this research was a rework of the Traditional Clemco Manual Quantum Valve.

One of the key innovations of the Clemco MQV Pro is its precision control mechanism, which allows for fine-tuning of the abrasive flow. This feature ensures that operators can achieve the desired blasting intensity with minimal effort. The Clemco MQV Pro also features a 90 degree outlet flange instead of the traditional 45 degree flange. This has been proven to allow a better flow rate resulting in reduced abrasive consumption.

Features of the Clemco MQV Pro

• Precision Control-The Clemco MQV Pro offers unparalleled precision control, enabling operators to adjust the flow rate with remarkable accuracy. This feature is crucial for blast operators looking to achieve a uniform finish.


• Cost Efficient-The MQV Pro works well with all types of media making it a more cost-effective valve since you do not need to have more than one valve on hand for various media types. It has also been proven to use less media over traditional metering valves resulting in cost savings on operating materials. The MQV Pro has been proven to flow at 200 lbs of media per hour with a #6 Nozzle at 100 PSI.
