Model: 888-7001-00418PB
Category: Abrasive Blasting Equipment → Blast Pot Components → Internal Parts & Media Control
Type: 18" Abrasive Umbrella Kit – Set-In, Adjustable Height – Powder Coated

The 18" Abrasive Umbrella Kit (Set-In, Adjustable Height) is an essential internal component designed to protect the pop-up valve assembly in 18" diameter blast pots, particularly in systems utilizing overhead abrasive feeding such as bulk bags or hoppers.

Key Features & Benefits

• Designed for 18" diameter blast pots
• Protects pop-up valve and gasket from abrasive load
• Ideal for overhead feeding systems (bulk bags / hoppers)
• Adjustable height design for precise internal fitment
• Set-in installation for secure placement
• Durable powder-coated construction for corrosion resistance
• Helps maintain proper pressure balance within the system

Technical Specifications

• Model: 888-7001-00418PB
• Diameter: 18"
• Installation Type: Set-In
• Adjustability: Adjustable Height
• Finish: Powder Coated
• Weight: 6.30 lbs
• Application: Pop-Up Protection / Abrasive Flow Control
• Condition: New

Typical Applications

• 18" diameter blast pots
• Portable and stationary abrasive blasting systems
• Overhead hopper or supersack feeding setups
• Industrial sandblasting operations

Performance Benefits

• Prevents abrasive from embedding into pop-up and seals
• Maintains proper sealing and pressure balance
• Reduces wear on pop-up valves and metering components
• Extends lifespan of internal blast pot components
• Improves overall system efficiency and reliability

Why This Component Is Important

Without an abrasive umbrella:

• Abrasive weight can damage the pop-up valve and O-ring
• Air leaks may develop around the pop-up
• Pressure imbalance (differential pressure) can occur
• The pop-up and metering valve can fail prematurely

This umbrella kit prevents those issues by shielding the pop-up from direct abrasive load, ensuring consistent system performance.

Compatibility & Notes

• Replaces Schmidt Axxiom 7001-004-18
• Compatible with Schmidt / Axxiom 18" diameter blast pots
• Recommended for bulk feeding and overhead abrasive systems
• Suitable for both portable and stationary units
• Ideal upgrade for high-use or continuous blasting operations
