The invention Described is a device (1) for dividing a stream of
particulate or pulverulent material into at least two substreams. The
device has a housing (2) with a substantially vertical inlet duct (3) and
two or more outlet ducts (4, 5, 6, 7) emanating from separate openings,
and being separated by partition walls (9) extending radially relative to
the centreline of the inlet duct (3). The device also has a rotor 11)
which is located in immediate extension of the inlet duct (3), with its
axis of rotation coinciding with the centreline (10) of the inlet duct.
The rotor (11) has a radially configured surface (11a) for directing the
falling material stream radially outwards into the free space (12) above
the outlet ducts. The device is peculiar in that the radial partition
walls (9) can be adjusted in the circumferential direction. The result
will be a freely variable ratio between an arbitrary number of outlet
substreams.
