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 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 airflow path;
wherein the inductor box comprises a housing configured to retain the inductor segment;
wherein the air supply chamber is position between the inductor segment and the housing;
wherein the inductor box comprises a first screen coupled to the inductor segment and the housing, and a second screen coupled to the inductor segment and the housing;
comprising the tank, and wherein the first screen facilitates airflow along a third airflow path from the air supply chamber to the tank.

8. A particulate material delivery system for an agricultural implement comprising:
an inductor box configured to receive particulate material, the inductor box comprising; a housing; and an inductor segment disposed within the housing and comprising a particulate material supply chamber, the particulate material supply chamber configured to convey the particulate material with an airflow from a first airflow path and from a second airflow path, wherein the first and second airflow paths are remote from one another; wherein the particulate material supply chamber comprises an inlet and an outlet, wherein the inlet is configured to receive particulate from the tank that is then conveyed out of the particulate material supply chamber through the outlet;
wherein the first airflow path is non-parallel and non-perpendicular to the inlet of the particulate material supply chamber;
wherein the second airflow path is substantially parallel to the outlet of the particulate material supply chamber.- View Dependent Claims (9)
