DEVICE FOR DIVIDING A STREAM OF PARTICULATE OR PULVERULENT MATERIAL INTO SUBSTREAMS

摘要

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 ( 11 a) 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.
