Model: 888-7001-00424PB
Category: Abrasive Blasting Equipment → Blast Pot Components → Internal Parts & Media Control
Type: 24" Abrasive Umbrella Kit – Set-In, Adjustable Height – Powder Coated

The 24" Abrasive Umbrella Kit (Set-In, Adjustable Height) is a critical internal component designed to protect the pop-up valve assembly in 24" diameter blast pots, especially in systems using overhead abrasive feeding (bulk bags or hoppers).

Key Features & Benefits

• Designed for 24" diameter blast pots
• Protects pop-up valve and gasket from abrasive weight
• Ideal for overhead feeding systems (bulk bags / hoppers)
• Adjustable height design for proper internal fitment
• Set-in style installation for secure placement
• Durable powder-coated construction for corrosion resistance
• Helps maintain proper pressure balance within the system

Technical Specifications

• Model: 888-7001-00424PB
• Diameter: 24"
• Installation Type: Set-In
• Adjustability: Adjustable Height
• Finish: Powder Coated
• Weight: 7.20 lbs
• Application: Pop-Up Protection / Abrasive Flow Control
• Condition: New

Typical Applications

• 24" diameter blast pots
• Bulk 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 critical internal parts
• Improves overall system efficiency and reliability

Why This Component Is Important

Without an abrasive umbrella, the constant weight of overhead media can:

• Damage the pop-up valve and O-ring
• Cause air leaks around the pop-up
• Create pressure imbalance (differential pressure issues)
• Lead to rapid failure of the pop-up and metering valve

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

Compatibility & Notes

• Replaces Schmidt Axxiom 7001-004-24
• Compatible with Schmidt / Axxiom 24" diameter blast pots
• Recommended for use with bulk bag racks and overhead feed systems
• Suitable for both portable and stationary blast pots
• Essential upgrade for systems running continuous or high-volume abrasive feeding
