MACHINE COMPONENTS

The  air  pump  or  blower  is  the  key  component  in  the 
Agri-Vac

®

 and is driven by the:

1)

gasoline engine or

2)

electric motor

through  a  belt  and  chain  drive  system.  The  blower 
moves  air  through  the  machine.  On  the  intake  side, 
the  blower  creates  a  vacuum  in  the  receiver  tank  and 
intake  lines  for  picking  up  grain.  Grain  is  separated 
from the stream of air in the receiver tank.

FIG. 1  MACHINE COMPONENTS

On  the  discharge  side  of  the  blower,  the  pressurized 
air  flows  through  the  airlock  where  it  picks  up  a 
metered  quantity  of  grain  and  moves  it  out  the  lines 
to the discharge cyclone.

The  airlock  is  rotated  by  the  same  power  source  as 
the blower.
