"wheelaborator": A machine used for cleaning castings. The latter are tumbled about in a cabinet on a horizontal belt and at the same time are subjected to bombardment by a stream of metal shot. This latter is maintained by feeding the shot on to the blades of an impeller. The shot are then projected centrifugally at high speed on to the castings. This method is more economical and admits of better control of the abrasive than is possible using air jets. The moving belt must, of course, be well covered with parts to be cleaned, and the impeller blades should preferably be of some hard metal such as high-silicon iron. 3, record 1, English, - wheelabrating

Le grenaillage, comme le sablage, est une opération qui consiste à soumettre des pièces métalliques au martellement répété de grains abrasifs animés d'une grande vitesse (au moyen d'air comprimé ou par force centrifuge), mais, dans ce procédé moderne, le sable est remplacé par de la grenaille métallique dont la force vive est plus élevée. (...) Le grenaillage peut se faire avec les mêmes machines que le sablage, mais il est surtout exécuté sur les machines à turbines. 2, record 1, French, - grenaillage%20%C3%A0%20l%27aide%20d%27une%20machine%20%C3%A0%20turbine

Selon un spécialiste de la compagnie Stelco que nous avons consulté, le "Wheelaborator" se rapporterait à une marque déposée. Il s'agit d'un type d'appareil de grenaillage. La description que nous avons trouvée dans la source anglaise TOTME nous apprend qu'il s'agit d'une turbine, d'où les propositions françaises. On pourrait aussi dire : "grenaillage à l'aide de l'appareil "Wheelaborator". 1, record 1, French, - grenaillage%20%C3%A0%20l%27aide%20d%27une%20machine%20%C3%A0%20turbine
