Abstract
A filling flow divider for portioning a filling substance includes at least two divider elements operatively connected together, each including a stator having a main chamber, a rotor in the main chamber and rotatable about an axis of rotation, and at least two blade elements fitted into the rotor. The blade elements are independently displaceable relative to the rotor in the radial direction as the rotor rotates in the main chamber. The filling flow divider includes at least two connecting devices coupling the rotors of the at least two divider elements such that the rotor and blade elements of one divider element are disposed at a different rotary angle position as the rotor and blade elements of an adjacent divider element.

A filling flow divider for portioning a filling substance, the filling flow divider comprising:
- at least two divider elements operatively connected to each other, each of the divider elements including a stator with a main chamber, a rotor positioned within the main chamber and rotatable about an axis of rotation, and at least two blade elements coupled to the rotor and displaceable in a radial direction relative to the axis of rotation with respect to the rotor, the rotor being configured to rotate the at least two blade elements in the main chamber with respect to the stator;
- and
- at least two connecting devices coupling the rotors of the at least two divider elements together,
- wherein the rotor and blade elements of one of the divider elements define a first rotary angle position about the axis of rotation, and the rotor and blade elements of another of the divider elements define a second rotary angle position about the axis of rotation different than the first rotary angle position.
