Abstract:  
Peening equipment is composed of five basic components: A. The bladed wheel that centrifugally propels the abrasive at the work. B. The abrasive recycling system that cleans, conditions and returns the abrasive to the wheel. C. The cabinet, when properly maintained, keeps the abrasive from escaping the enclosure. D. The material handling system that positions the work in the abrasive blast. E. The dust collector that is responsible for removing the dust and contaminants from the blast machine to provide an environmentally safe operation.
