Abstract
A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement includes an inductor box configured to receive particulate material from a tank. The inductor box includes 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. 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.
Claims6
A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement comprising:
- an inductor segment comprising 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;
- and
- a lower airflow path configured to direct the airflow from the airflow supply into the particulate material supply chamber;
- wherein the particulate material supply chamber comprises an inlet and an outlet, the inlet is configured to receive the particulate material from the particulate material tank, the outlet is configured to expel the particulate material, and the inlet and the outlet of the particulate material supply chamber are substantially perpendicular to one another.
