Compressor Wheels

(OP)
Does anyone have ideas for a source of ready made high rev back swept radial compressor wheels with cover plates?

I know turbo-chargers use have small compressors, but they tend not to have cover plates. I'm after something more like a wheel from a vacuum cleaner fan.

Preferably disk shaped, aluminium, and good for high revs, (for a decent mass flow.)

Thanks.

RE: Compressor Wheels

Ingersol-Rand makes a compressor of this design if I understand your question. Theirs is called CENTAC Compressors and they operate  up to 750 PSI in multi-stages.
