Apparatus for dividing a flow of fibrous material into at least two equally metered flows includes a substantially horizontal pulp feeder press with a plug pipe outlet connected to an upper portion of a substantially vertical housing and at least two metering screws arranged in a metering housing at the bottom of the vertical housing. The vertical housing comprises at least one rapid rotating spreader screw and a spreader disc mounted at the lower end of each spreader screw for conveying compressed fibrous material from the pulp feeder press while at the same time providing shearing action to disintegrate the compressed material and for distribution of the disintegrated material into the metering housing.
