Seed Inductor for an Agricultural Implement Having an Air Bypass Channel
First Claim
1. A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement comprising:
- an inductor box configured to receive particulate material from a tank, the inductor box comprising;
an inductor segment comprising an air bypass channel extending through a particulate material supply chamber, wherein the particulate material supply chamber is configured to receive the particulate material for distribution to at least one row unit, and the air bypass channel is configured to guide airflow through the particulate material supply chamber without interacting with a flow of the particulate material through the particulate material supply chamber.
