Impeller for Feeding Blasting Shots into a Centrifugal Wheel

An impeller for feeding blasting shots, which are to be accelerated, into the centrifugal wheel of a blasting installation, the impeller (2) being arranged in the central region of the centrifugal wheel inside a distributing sleeve (1) which has a distributing opening (8) and can be rotated in the direction of rotation of the centrifugal wheel, and the impeller (2) having platelike guiding elements which are directed toward the distributing sleeve (1), are intended for guiding the blasting shot to the outside and are arranged on at least one lateral disk (4), comprising:

• at least two adjacent guiding means designed as limbs (5, 6), interconnected, integrally, with a profiled piece (3), and
• a recess that is arranged between the limbs (5, 6) and which is accessible from the direction of the distributing sleeve (1),
• wherein adjacent limbs (5, 6) of adjacent profiled pieces (3) form channels (7) through which the blasting shot can be discharged to the outside,
• wherein the limb ends of the profiled piece (3) that are directed toward the distributing sleeve (1) are spaced apart from one another in the circumferential direction of the impeller (2) and the lateral disk (4), and
• wherein the recess is a cavity into which the blasting shot can escape.
