An additive feeder assembly includes a supply reservoir having an outlet and an outlet tube having a first end in fluid communication with the outlet and a second end located vertically higher than the supply reservoir. An air stream transports a first granular material discharged from the supply reservoir and into the first end of the outlet tube to the second end of the outlet tube. A granular material distributor is in fluid communication with the second end of the outlet tube. The granular material distributor has a top end configured for attachment to a feed supply for a second granular material, a central portion located vertically below the top end and configured to mix the first granular material and the second granular material, and a bottom end configured for vertically discharging the mixed first granular material and second granular material.

A transfer system for soft gels is disclosed. It comprises: a blower, having a first air inlet and a first air outlet, and generating an airflow by inhaling air from the first air inlet and discharging air out of the first air outlet; a hopper, having a top opening to catch soft gels manufactured and dropped directly from a soft gel machine and a bottom opening to drop the soft gels; a transfer hose, having a first opening connected to the first air outlet and a second opening, wherein a side-cut opening is formed to connect to the bottom opening, the airflow from the first opening blows the soft gels dropped at the side-cut opening to move the soft gels toward the second opening; a cooling module, having a second air inlet and a second air outlet, cooling down the external air from the second air inlet and discharging the cooled air from the second air outlet; and a connecting hose, connecting the second air outlet and the first air inlet.

An agricultural product delivery applicator for delivering particulate product to a field. The applicator includes a bin having a first chamber to hold a first product, a second chamber to hold a second product, and a third chamber to hold a third product. The applicator further includes a pneumatic conveying system having an airflow source to provide an airflow, a delivery line operably connected to the airflow source and to the bin, and an outlet coupled to the delivery line. A metering system is operably connected between the supply compartment and the pneumatic conveying system. The metering system meters product with the airflow to result in a mixed flow of airflow and product. The metering system includes a novel hydraulic circuit for helping to meter the product.

In a method for guiding and/or instructing in a feed-in station of a material conveying system, the feed-in station includes at least one first input point and at least one second input point, which input points each include at least one input aperture and a shut-off part of the input aperture, which shut-off part is movable between a first position in which the input aperture is at least partly closed, in which case material is not intended to be fed from the input aperture to inside the input point, and a second position in which the input aperture is open, in which second position material can be fed from the input aperture to inside the input point. The first input point and/or the second input point is adapted to include an indicator and/or signal, with which in the method a user is guided and/or instructed to feed in material from the input aperture of the second input point of the feed-in station, when the first input point is in a state in which it cannot receive material. An input point arrangement is used in the method.
