Disclosed is a pipe divider for pipes used to convey solids of small particle size or dispersions, constructed such that a feed pipe leads into a distributor chamber, two distributor pipes lead away from this chamber and two tubes which can be pressurized by means of compressed air are provided in the distributor chamber between the feed pipe and the distributor pipes on both sides, for selectively blocking one of the branch paths. The feed pipe leads tangentially into the cylindrical distributor chamber, the distributor pipes lead tangentially away from the distributor chamber, and the distributor chamber includes an internal cylinder to which the tubes are mounted in such a way that they surround the internal cylinder. Owing to this special arrangement, only low mechanical and/or corrosive stresses occur. |
