Snyder Industries 48 Cubic Feet 60 Degree Plastic Flowmaster Dry Hopper Bin Tank

The Snyder Industries Flowmaster 60-Degree Dry Hopper Bin Tank (SKU SII-6372104N95402) is a specialty cone-bottom bin built for complete dry-material discharge. It holds 360 gallons / 48 cubic feet of usable volume, stands 84" tall on a 45" x 48" footprint, and the steep 60-degree cone lets free-flowing dry product empty through the 2" outlet without bridging in the hopper throat. The vessel is molded from white polyethylene, weighs 346 lb empty, and carries a 1.9 specific gravity rating with a 120 F / 48 C maximum temperature. Snyder molds this bin to its own specification numbers 2285 and 2282, and the 12" lid gives top access for filling and inspection.

Will it work for your material?

The 1.9 specific gravity rating is the number that matters here. It means the wall and cone are engineered to carry contents up to 1.9 times the weight of water, which is why a dry bin gets its own rating separate from a plain water tank. Plain water is the reference floor: fill this bin with water and it carries about 3,002 lb, but the 1.9 SG rating gives real headroom up to a 5,705 lb design ceiling on contents. Confirm the bulk density of your dry product falls at or under that 1.9 figure before loading. Watch inlet temperature too: product going into the bin must stay at or under the 120 F / 48 C maximum, which matters if you are loading warm post-dryer granules. The 60-degree cone angle is the aggressive end of the hopper range, so most granular and powdered materials flow to the 2" outlet under their own weight. Use the Tank Sizing Calculator and the Tank Sizing Guide to match the 360-gallon working volume to your batch size, and plan the discharge height so the 84" stance clears your equipment underneath.

Mounting and support

A cone-bottom bin carries its entire load on the hopper, so it needs a stand or structural frame rated for the loaded weight, not a flat pad. Size that support for the full 5,705 lb rated contents plus the 346 lb empty shell, and keep the cone and 2" outlet fully accessible for the discharge valve and any slide gate you add. When you engineer the foundation and support steel, our concrete pad sizing guide covers the ACI framework for the pad the stand bears on.
