Snyder Industries 80 Cubic Foot Capacity 45 Degree Plastic Cone Bottom Dry Hopper Bin

The Snyder Industries 80 cubic foot 45-degree cone bottom dry hopper bin (SII-6370719N95402) is a closed-top, 600-gallon vessel molded from high-density linear polyethylene with a 1.5 specific gravity rating.The steep 45-degree cone is the aggressive anti-bridging geometry that keeps dry powder or slurry sliding toward the outlet instead of arching over a shallow slope, and that same 1.5 SG rating plus the Snyder OEM chemical-resistance chart are what let this dry-hopper design double as liquid or slurry storage.It stands 102" tall on a 48" x 53" footprint, carries a 12" lid on the closed top, and weighs 385 lb empty.This is the "Cone Bottom NO Stand" configuration, so it needs a stand or steel structure sized for the cone.Rated to 120 F / 48 C, it carries Snyder certifications 2285 and 2282.

Will it hold your material

The 1.5 specific gravity rating is the number that decides the job.At 600 gallons of plain water this tank carries about 5,004 lb; loaded to its full 1.5 SG rating it is engineered for roughly 7,506 lb of contents.The practical consequence for a hopper or slurry buyer: anything denser than about 1.5 g/mL is over-rated even when the tank is only part full — a dense slurry or heavy dry powder hits the weight ceiling before it ever hits the volume ceiling, so weigh what you actually store against that 7,506 lb limit before you buy.Because this is the no-stand version, the cone hangs its full load on whatever supports it, so the stand or steel structure has to be rated for the same 7,506 lb plus the tank.If you are still sizing the vessel or choosing a cone angle, the Tank Sizing Calculator and Tank Sizing Guide walk through the math, and our cone bottom buyer's guide on 15 vs 30 vs 45 degree selection explains why 45 degrees is the aggressive-discharge choice.

Chemical compatibility

This is an HDLPE tank rated to 1.5 specific gravity, and compatibility is per the Snyder Industries OEM chemical-resistance chart, which is concentration- and temperature-specific — confirm your exact chemical, concentration, temperature, and fitting and gasket materials before committing.Within the 1.5 SG rating this tank suits acetic acid (60%), aluminum sulfate (50%), calcium chloride (40%), DEF (32.5%), ferrous sulfate (20%), magnesium chloride (30%), sodium carbonate (30%), urea solution (50%), and ozonated water (up to 10 PPM).Most run PVC fittings with EPDM gaskets, but a few will not accept that default package: DEF (32.5%) requires 316 stainless fittings, so plan the plumbing accordingly on those services.Several common chemicals — ferric chloride (50%), hydrochloric acid (37%), sodium hypochlorite (<16.5%), sulfuric acid (98%), hydrogen peroxide (50%), phosphoric acid (85%), peracetic acid (30%) and ethylene glycol among them — need a higher 1.9 SG tank rather than this 1.5 SG model, and several call for Viton or Aflas gaskets rather than EPDM (sulfuric at 98% also specifies CPVC fittings, peracetic 316SS).For those services, ask us about a 1.5 SG-rated cone at 866-418-1777.Check your chemical against the full Chemical Compatibility Database first.

Fittings and plumbing the discharge

The steep cone puts the outlet at the very bottom, so fitting layout and pump geometry matter.Our guides on top-fitting placement and pump priming and dry-run protection cover vent, fill and drain layout plus keeping a tank-fed pump from running dry.See the technical drawing on this page for dimensions and port locations.
