Pressure supply assembly for an agricultural implement with dense phase product flow
A system for distributing a product on an agricultural implement is provided. The system comprises a primary container having a primary container inlet and a product exit, and the primary container is configured to accommodate the product and permit the product to move through the product exit in response to fluid pressure. The system further comprises a pressure supply assembly including a pressure source that provides a pressurized fluid to the primary container through the primary container inlet. The system further comprises a delivery conduit having a first end connected to the product exit and is configured to permit the product to pass there through by dense phase flow.
1. A pressure supply assembly for distributing a product on an agricultural implement, comprising:
a pressure source including:
a piston;
a cylinder in which the piston moves, including:
a bore side;
a bore side inlet configured to permit a fluid to enter the bore side there through;
a bore side outlet configured to permit the fluid to exit the bore side there through and in fluid communication with another section of the agricultural implement; and
an actuator connected to the piston to displace the piston within the cylinder; wherein the actuator is a hydraulic actuator; wherein the bore side outlet is in fluid communication with a primary container and a delivery conduit that are configured for dense phase product flow; wherein the pressure source is in fluid communication with a metering assembly.
