  • System for increasing throughput of an agricultural product metering system
    Patent number: 9546051
    Abstract: A system includes a product delivery tube having an air inlet, an agricultural product inlet, and an exit nozzle. The agricultural product inlet is disposed between the air inlet and the exit nozzle, and the first product delivery tube is configured to receive the agricultural product from the agricultural product inlet, and to use an air flow received by the air inlet to convey the agricultural product through the exit nozzle. The system also includes a drop tube configured to receive the agricultural product, and to convey the agricultural product at a drop tube angle to the agricultural product inlet. The drop tube angle is formed by a junction between the first drop tube and the first product delivery tube, and the drop tube angle is greater than approximately 0 degrees and less than approximately 90 degrees relative to the product delivery tube.
