  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR PREVENTING PLUGGING OF AN AGRICULTURAL PARTICULATE MATERIAL
    Publication number: 20190289776
    Abstract: In one aspect, a system for distributing an agricultural particulate material as part of a crop production process is disclosed. The system may include a distribution line configured to receive an air entrained flow of particles. A controller may be configured to monitor a flow parameter associated with the air entrained flow of particles through the distribution line based on signals received from a flow sensor. The controller may be configured to determine that a change in the monitored flow parameter over time is associated with a plugging flow pattern that is indicative of potential plugging of the distribution line and automatically initiate a corrective action associated with reducing a likelihood of the distribution line plugging.
