Abstract: The invention relates to a wheel for centrifugal jet machines with two rotating wheel discs, a plurality of centrifugal blades distributed evenly around the periphery, each blade being provided with lateral ribs or strips, the blades being insertable from the inside into radial grooves in the wheel discs and held therein by fixed stops. According to the invention, the length of the lateral strips is shorter than the diameter of the central free space of the wheel formed by the inside ends of the blades. Moreover, the width of the part of each centrifugal blade projecting beyond the lateral strips is smaller than the distance between the two discs.
