A vane of a throwing wheel apparatus including a particle throwing portion, extending between first and second ends, having a first throwing face, a second throwing face, and two side edges. Each of the side edges extend substantially parallel to one another and includes a locking member adapted to be detachably coupled to a mounting element of the throwing wheel apparatus. Each locking member includes a first taper in a first plane and a second taper in a second plane. The first plane is substantially perpendicular to each side edge of the vane and the second plane is substantially parallel to the first taper. The side edges define a width smaller than a predetermined distance between first and second mounting elements of the throwing wheel apparatus so that when coupled to the mounting elements a gap is present on both sides of the vane.

A control cage for an abrasive blasting wheel includes a housing forming an interior chamber, a blast media outlet positioned in the housing, and a channel formed in an inner side of the housing. A distribution device for an abrasive blasting wheel includes an impeller having a media inlet at one end adapted to receive blast media and a plurality of impeller media outlets constructed and arranged to allow egress of the blast media upon rotation of the impeller, a control cage surrounding the impeller and having a cage media outlet adapted for passage of the blast media, and a channel formed between the impeller and the control cage. The channel of the distribution device may be formed on an inner side of the control cage, an outer side of the impeller, or both.
