1-22. (canceled)
A control valve for regulating shot peening, the control valve comprising:
- a conduit for transferring a ferrous shot medium;
- and
- a magnet aligned with the conduit for applying a magnetic field to the ferrous shot medium,
- wherein the magnet comprises a first magnet and a second magnet, the first magnet and the second magnet or any of their extensions being at an angle with respect to each other for regulating transference of the ferrous shot medium by the magnetic field.
A method for regulating a ferrous shot medium, the method comprising:
- providing ferrous shot medium;
- presenting a first magnet and a second magnet that are at an angle with respect to each other for generating a magnetic field to the ferrous shot medium in order to regulate transference of the ferrous shot medium;
- and
- collecting used shot medium at an outlet for recycling to an inlet of a shot peening machine.
