Abstract
A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement including, an inductor box configured to receive particulate material from a tank, the inductor box including, an inductor segment comprising a particulate material supply chamber configured to guide the particulate material toward a fluidization chamber, and an air supply chamber configured to receive airflow from an airflow supply, wherein the inductor box is configured to direct the airflow from the air supply chamber to the particulate material supply chamber through a first airflow path and through a second airflow path remote from the first air path.
Claims7
A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement comprising:
- an inductor box having a housing which includes
- a particulate material supply chamber configured to receive a particulate material from a particulate material tank;
- an upper airflow path configured to direct an airflow from an airflow supply into the particulate material supply chamber;
- a first screen positioned in an upper portion of the housing, wherein air moves through the first screen and particulate material moves over the first screen;
- a lower airflow path configured to direct the airflow from the airflow supply into the particulate material supply chamber;
- and
- a second screen positioned in a lower portion of the housing, wherein air moves through the second screen and particulate material moves over the second screen;
- wherein the housing of the inductor box comprises at least one inlet and an outlet, the at least one inlet configured to receive the particulate material from the particulate material tank, the outlet configured to expel the particulate material.
