A pressure control system is provided. The pressure control system includes a member at least partially positioned within a pumping port fluidly coupled between a multi-head processing chamber and a pump configured to evacuate gases from the multi-head processing chamber. The member is rotatable relative to the pumping port. The pressure control system includes a plurality of pressure sensors. Each of the pressure sensors is configured to obtain data indicative of a pressure of a flow of gas entering the multi-head processing chamber at a corresponding head of the multi-head processing chamber. The pressure control system includes an actuator configured to rotate the member to control a pressure of a flow of gas at a first processing head of the multi-head processing chamber.
