Modulated metering system
First Claim
1. A modulated metering system for particulate, the system comprising:
- a flow path having;
a. an inlet in communication with one or more intake points; and
b. an outlet in communication with one or more discharge points;
a particulate storage with two or more separated storage areas in communication with the flow path; and
a portion of the flow path is configurable between;
a. a first configuration with a first set of separated mixing areas within the flow path;
b. a second configuration with a second set of separated mixing areas within the flow path, wherein operated conveyances associated with the first set of separated mixing areas operate independent of operated conveyances associated with the second set of separated mixing areas;
wherein each of the first or the second set of separated mixing areas is in communication with one of the one or more discharge points.

Abstract
An improved modulated particulate metering system is provided. The system includes a plurality of particulate storage areas, each having a separate type of particulate. The system can include varied configurations of a plurality of cartridges in communication with one of the particulate storage containers. The system can further include varied configurations of a plurality of gearboxes operably connected to the cartridges. The gearboxes can be adapted to be inverted and operably controlled by one or more drive shafts. The system can still further include varied configurations of a plurality of particulate accelerators in fluid communication with an air flow path having one inlet. The system permits a user to efficiently alternate between desired configurations based on the needs of the application.

8. A modulated metering system for particulate, the system comprising:
-
a flow path having; c. an inlet in communication with one or more intake points; and d. an outlet in communication with one or more discharge points; a particulate storage with two or more separated storage areas in communication with the flow path; and a first configuration of the flow path wherein a first set of separated mixing areas within the flow path receive particulate from a first set of operated conveyances; a second configuration of the flow path wherein a second set of separated mixing areas within the flow path receive particulate from a second set of operated conveyances wherein the first set of operated conveyances operate independent from the second set of operated conveyances. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10)
