Abstract
A flow control apparatus for an agricultural product distribution system includes a bypass valve having a valve inlet for receiving metered product from a metering device, and a closure member movable between bypass and distribution positions. The flow control apparatus further includes a bypass conduit downstream of the bypass valve for receiving the metered product when the bypass valve is in the bypass position, to expel the metered product from the distribution system. The flow control apparatus further includes a transfer manifold downstream of the bypass valve. The transfer manifold includes a plurality of transfer outlets and a transfer channel for receiving the metered product when the bypass valve is in the distribution position. Each of the transfer outlets is in fluid communication with a respective pneumatic distribution line. The transfer manifold further includes at least one diverter valve for selectively placing the transfer outlets into and out of fluid communication with the transfer channel.
