Abstract
A circular seed distribution manifold delivers seed from a bulk tank to bins on row planter units. The manifold has a circular chamber formed by a plurality of modules joined side to side. The modules include outwardly radially extending tubular barbs connected to hoses extending to the bins. Pressurized air is introduced into the chamber through an opening in the floor of the manifold to create a fluidized bin or mixture with the seeds evenly distributed around the chamber. The air pressure carries the seeds out the barbs, through the hoses, and into the bins for planting. The barbs have an inlet flush with the perimeter wall of the manifold to minimize plugging.
