PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a distributor for feeding particles of ice, water, etc., transported like a slurry to a plurality of divided tanks by switching over them, without clogging transport pipes. SOLUTION: A two-phase flow of ice 5 and water 6 transported through an ice-water transport pipe pours into an ice-water separator 8. For sending the ice 5 and the water 6 in a divided tank 3a through a branch pipe 9, a handle 46 is turned to move a connection pipe 30 so that the pipe 30 slides in a fixture 50 and the branch pipe 9 and an opening 34 provided on the side below a closed end face which closes the top end of the connection pipe 30 is directed toward the two-phase flow of ice 5 and water 6 in the ice-water separator. For distributing the ice-water to other divided tanks 3b, 3c, 3d, it will suffice to execute the same procedure.
