A simple and lightweight solution to the storage and delivery of dry flowable materials that is cost-effective, can be standardized to facilitate transportation and isolates the materials from exposure to air, insects and other contaminants. An apparatus includes a vessel and a delivery assembly, having a rotary feeder that upon gravity discharge of the dry flowable material moves such material to a desired location.

A system for moving and placing granulate is provided together with a rotary airlock device. The system has a housing mountable to a trailer with cabinet located on a side of the housing with a compressor, at least one back compartment located on a back side of the housing. The compartment has a rotary airlock device in communication with the compressor. The compressor feeds air to the rotary airlock device under pressure, and an actuatable feeder located on the back side of the housing receives granulate and feeds the granulate to the rotary airlock device.

The present invention is directed to an applicator having an agricultural product conveying system which transfers particulate material from one or more source containers to application equipment on demand, and meters the material at the application equipment. The conveying system includes an inline metering system including a number of metering devices associated with each compartment of a particulate material tank on the applicator to meter the particulate material disposed within each compartment. The individual metering devices include gates to initially enable the particulate material from a compartment to enter the metering device, and a rotary metering shaft to meter the flow of the particulate material into the conduits while limiting the passage of pressurized air through the metering device and into the compartment. The individual metering devices also include individual motors to control the operation of the metering devices independently from one another that can allow with sectional control and turning compensation.

A run selection mechanism is provided for selectively directing the flow of particulate material from an air cart. The mechanism includes a chute for receiving metered particulate material. The chute has an output. A first primary conduit has an output communicating with a first pneumatic primary run and a second primary conduit has an output communicating with a second pneumatic primary run. A selector selectively directs the metered particulate material to one of the output of the chute, the first pneumatic primary run and the second pneumatic primary run.

Proposed are a device and a method for recovering and re-injecting excess powder, in which the device includes one or more powder transfer lines transferring powder, a loading chamber loading the powder transferred through a first connecting pipe connected to the powder transfer lines, a storage hopper storing the loaded powder transferred by opening an opening/closing valve disposed at a lower end of the loading chamber, a powder weigher disposed on each side or one side of the loading chamber or the storage hopper, a rotary valve connected to a lower end of the storage hopper and normally discharging the powder stored in the storage hopper, a micro-rotary valve disposed at the storage hopper and recovering the powder exceeding a target supply amount, a recovery chamber connected to the micro-rotary valve and storing the recovered powder, and a controller controlling the rotary valve and the micro-rotary valve.
