Wheel Blasting
Wheel Blasting
Wheel blastinguses centrifugal force to propel media against a surface. A spinning wheel rotates at exceptional speeds to throw abrasive in a self-contained cage. Wheel blasting is often described as an airless blasting operation because of the lack of compressive propellant. It is a highly efficient form of processing that makes use of recyclable media for prolonged operation. However, this form of blasting lends itself to repeated shapes/products and is not as versatile as a blast room.
Wem is a market town and civil parish in Shropshire, England,[1] 9 miles (14 km) north of Shrewsbury and 9 miles (14 km) south of Whitchurch.
The name is derived from the Old English term wamm, meaning 'marsh".[2]
As a caput of a barony and a large manor and parish Wem was a centre for justice and local government for centuries, and the headquarters of the North Shropshire District Council until Shropshire became a unitary authority. From the 12th century revisions to the hundreds of Shropshire, Wem was within the North Division of Bradford Hundred until the end of the 19th century.[3][4]
It is considered that the landscape around the town may be the inspiration for Shakespeare's play 'As You Like It', a belief reflected in cultural programming in the town.[5]
