<p>PURPOSE: To provide an apparatus for dividing and uniting flows of a high- consistency fiber suspension. CONSTITUTION: A fiber suspension is made to flow into a space 22 uniting the inlet and the outlet flows in order to prevent clogging of a distributor 21. In the space 22, a turbulent flow extending to valves 27 for regulating the discharge flow is created. The distributor 21 includes a vortex chamber 22 provided with an inlet 24, outlets 25 and regulating valves 27 connected to the outlets 25. The regulating valves 27 are disposed at a short distance from the outlets 25. In a preferred example, a rotor 30 provided with vanes 31 is disposed in the vortex chamber 22.</p> |
