Seed Inductor for an Agricultural Implement Having an Air Bypass Channel

A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement comprising:

• an inductor box comprising:
• a particulate material supply chamber configured to receive particulate material from a particulate material source;
• an air supply chamber configured to receive airflow from an airflow supply for use in conveying particulate material through the inductor box;
• and
• an air bypass channel configured to guide airflow from the air supply chamber through the particulate material supply chamber without interacting with a flow of the particulate material through the particulate material supply chamber.

A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement comprising:

• an inductor segment comprising:
• a particulate material supply chamber configured to receive particulate material from a particulate material tank and a first airflow from an air source;
• a particulate material fluidization chamber configured to mix the particulate material and the first airflow from the particulate material supply chamber;
• a particulate material delivery chamber configured to receive the particulate material from the particulate material fluidization chamber and to distribute the particulate material to at least one row unit;
• and
• an air bypass channel extending through the particulate material supply chamber and configured to direct a second airflow through the particulate material supply chamber and into the particulate material delivery chamber without interacting with the particulate material in the particulate material supply chamber.
