A granular material storage hopper (12) adapted to matingly removably rest on a frame portion (14) of a gravimetric blender (10), having a material discharge orifice proximate the hopper bottom, with the gravimetric blender including a weigh bin (15) receiving material dispensed from the hopper, at least one load cell (32) for sensing weight of material received in the weigh bin and a mix chamber (20) below the weigh bin for collecting and mixing material received from the weigh bin after weight has been sensed, comprising means (19) for selectably dispensing granular material from the hopper through said material discharge orifice proximate the hopper bottom, being fixedly connected to the hopper and movable unitarily with the hopper as the hopper is lifted from the frame.
