An air system for supplying product to the product tank of an agricultural implement has an air supply and at least one elongated conduit for delivering air entrained product to the tank. There is at least one outlet in the tank formed as a hollow elbow having a generally downwardly directed outlet, a generally upwardly directed outlet and a transverse inlet coupled to the conduit. The elbow includes an upper generally cylindrical region comprising a cyclone chamber for swirling the incoming air entrained product directing at least a portion of the air flow upwardly toward the upwardly directed outlet while allowing the product to fall in a generally helical pattern through a generally frusto-conical region, whereby material migrates downwardly and air upwardly releasing the material to fall in a gentle spiral and air to exit from the upper region of the tank.

A dry bulk material transport system for the modular transport and unloading of dry bulk material, the dry bulk material transport system comprises a transport container, a storage container, and a pneumatic bulk material outflow system. The transport container comprises a transport container shell, a transport container support frame fixed to the transport container shell, a transport container outlet disposed at a bottom of the transport container shell, and a transport container outlet valve rotatable between an open position and a closed position. The storage container comprises storage container shell, a receiving frame fixed to the storage container shell and configured to receive the transport container support frame, a storage container inlet disposed at the top of the storage container shell, and a plurality of storage container outlet valves movable between an open position and a closed position.

An air cart for distributing air entrained particulate material from a chamber or tank to a plurality of distribution lines for application to an agricultural field has a tank refilling feature utilizing air flow from the cart distribution system or from a dedicated pneumatic source. The cart conveying system air flow is diverted and passed through an assembly containing multiple venturis which also receives particulate material from a supply source. The air entrained material from the source is conveyed to and gently deposited in the cart tank. Exhaust air from the tank may be directed back into the cart conveying system or vented through an air diffuser located beneath the cart. Exhaust air which is directed back to the cart conveying system may return to a location closely adjacent that from which it was originally diverted.
