Storage Hopper – 725 cu. ft. (20,500 Liters) Capacity with Removable Ladder & Safety Cage, Blasted & Primed Steel Construction

Part Number: 888-1107-72501PB

The Storage Hopper – 725 cu. ft. (888-1107-72501PB) is a high-capacity abrasive storage system designed for industrial blasting facilities requiring maximum durability and compliance with safety standards. Constructed from blasted and primed steel, it provides enhanced corrosion resistance while maintaining the structural integrity and heavy-duty performance of the original bare-steel version.

This model includes a removable OSHA-compliant ladder and safety cage, dual abrasive discharge spouts with gates, and a 4" cleanout cap protected by a unique drip rail system. Designed and structurally analyzed by a registered professional mechanical engineer, this hopper guarantees both safety and reliability under high-capacity operating conditions.
