Ball valve for Schmidt tank

The 2401-509 ball valve is a quarter-turn component designed to regulate the flow of fluids or abrasives in Schmidt tank systems. By rotating the handle 90 degrees, the internal perforated sphere pivots to either open or close the flow path, providing a quick and efficient shut-off mechanism for the system. This valve features a 2-inch port, which is sized to accommodate high-volume flow requirements in industrial applications.

This component is compatible with various Schmidt abrasive blasting and material recovery equipment. It is designed to integrate into the supply lines or storage tanks where precise control of compressed air or abrasive media is required. The valve ensures that the flow is managed effectively during surface preparation and maintenance operations.

Ball valves function as primary isolation points in fluid circuits. In heavy machinery and industrial systems, they are used to isolate sections of the piping or to regulate the supply of materials to specific subsystems. The internal design allows for full-bore flow when open, minimizing pressure drop across the valve assembly while maintaining a secure seal when in the closed position.
