Abrasive Umbrella Kit – Weld-In, Adjustable Height – Powder Coated – Blast Pot Flow Control – Replaces Schmidt Axxiom 7001-001

Model: 888-7001-001PB
Category: Abrasive Blasting Equipment → Blast Pot Components → Internal Parts & Media Control
Type: Abrasive Umbrella Kit – Weld-In, Adjustable Height – Powder Coated

The Weld-In Abrasive Umbrella Kit (Adjustable Height) is a permanent, heavy-duty solution designed to protect the pop-up valve assembly in blast pots, especially in systems using overhead abrasive feeding such as bulk bags or hoppers.

Key Features & Benefits

• Weld-in design for permanent, secure installation
• Protects pop-up valve and gasket from abrasive load
• Ideal for overhead feeding systems (bulk bags / hoppers)
• Adjustable height for proper internal positioning
• Durable powder-coated construction for corrosion resistance
• Reduces wear on critical internal components
• Helps maintain proper pressure balance within the system

Technical Specifications

• Model: 888-7001-001PB
• Installation Type: Weld-In
• Adjustability: Adjustable Height
• Finish: Powder Coated
• Weight: 5.20 lbs
• Application: Pop-Up Protection / Abrasive Flow Control
• Condition: New

Typical Applications

• Blast pots using overhead abrasive feeding systems
• Bulk bag or hopper-fed abrasive blasting setups
• High-use industrial sandblasting operations
• Systems requiring permanent internal component upgrades

Performance Benefits

• Prevents abrasive from embedding into pop-up and seals
• Maintains proper sealing and pressure balance
• Reduces risk of air leaks and differential pressure issues
• Extends lifespan of pop-up valves and metering components
• Improves long-term system 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 weld-in umbrella kit eliminates those risks by shielding the pop-up from direct abrasive load, ensuring consistent operation in demanding environments.

Compatibility & Notes

• Replaces Schmidt Axxiom 7001-001
• Compatible with Schmidt / Axxiom blast pot systems
• Ideal for both portable and stationary blast pots
• Recommended for high-volume or continuous abrasive feeding systems
• Requires welding for installation (permanent modification)
