    摘要: A port interface for a pneumatic distribution system includes a first flow passage configured to receive fluidized particulate material from an outlet port of a header and to output the fluidized particulate material to an outlet line. The port interface also includes a second flow passage configured to receive a purging airflow and to output the purging airflow to the outlet line. In addition, the port interface includes a knife valve having a blade with a first opening and a second opening. The blade is configured to move between a first position in which the first opening is substantially aligned with the first flow passage and the second opening is substantially aligned with the second flow passage, and a second position in which the first opening is substantially aligned with the second flow passage and a solid portion of the blade is substantially aligned with the first flow passage.

    摘要: A distributor device of fertilizer substances for a seeder machine comprises storing means (20) of a fertilizer substance, a plurality of distribution conduits (60) connected to the storing means (20), at least a source of high-velocity air (30) connected to the distribution conduits (60) for distributing, in use, the fertilizer substance. The device further comprises: at least a connecting element (70), comprising at least two infeeds (72) and at least one outfeed (76), the connecting element (70) being connected to at least two of the distribution conduits (60) so as to convey, in use, the fertilizer substance coming from at least the two distribution conduits (60) to the at least an outfeed (76).

    摘要: The present invention provides a pneumatic distribution system for use with agricultural equipment, such as air drills and air carts, in which hoses may be held at a manifold connection having articulated control. The manifold connection may hold multiple couplers for hoses, and each of the couplers may be configured to allow substantial rotation in a first plane perpendicular to the ground. In addition, the manifold connection may be configured to allow substantial rotation in a second plane parallel to the ground. As a result, the manifold connection may be held proximal to a mechanical hitching point between agricultural equipment. This, in turn, may allow elimination of excess hose lengths and greater ease of handling when the agricultural equipment is separated and the hoses are disconnected.

    摘要: The seed distribution tower of an air seeder has a distribution head that splits a single, primary stream of conveying air and seeds into a plurality of secondary streams for delivery to openers that deposit the seeds into the ground as the seeder advances. The outlets through which the secondary streams exit the head are constructed as modules that can be individually installed and replaced without disassembling the entire head. Shut-off valves and/or flow sensors may or may not be incorporated into certain or all of the modules to provide optimum user flexibility.
