Delivery boot for pneumatic delivery systems for grain and/or granular fertilizer

摘要

A baffled receiver is situated at the discharge end of a pneumatic fertilizer or seed delivery tube and includes an air discharge or relief portion and a baffle system to receive and guide the seed or fertilizer to a pair of discharge apertures adjacent the base. The baffles and air relief portion even out the flow of material which exits in relatively even amounts through the apertures and onto a V-shaped divider which splits the flow into two streams for delivery into a furrow. It is bolted to the shank at the rear side thereof and just above the cultivator or other ground opening tool on the lower end of the shank. The air discharge or relief plate relieves the pressure of the air stream thus allowing the seed or fertilizer to flow by gravity to the discharge apertures.
