Abstract
A wire coil support in the form of a boom for a wire coil blasting apparatus wherein abrasives are thrown at or blasted at a coil wire carried by a wire support in the form of a boom. When the diameter of the wire in a given weight coil decreases, the number of coils in the coil greatly increases. As a result, the number of rows of coils increases and makes it more difficult to separate the individual coils for the reception of an abrasive blast. By modifying the boom to incorporate radial lifters, the coils may be separated, not only longitudinally, to provide for a more efficient abrasive blasting operation.
