• a distributor head which is designed to divide up an air-material main flow supplied through a main conveying line to the distributor head into a plurality of air-material individual flows;
• and
• at least one return device, which comprises a movable deflecting element which is designed, in a delivery position, to supply an air-material individual flow flowing into an inflow region of the return device to a delivery region, connected to a delivery line, of the return device and, in a shut-off position, to direct an air-material individual flow flowing into the inflow region of the return device via a return line of the return device to a return region,connected to the main conveying line, of the return device;
• characterised in that the deflecting element is designed to shut off a bypass line of the return device connecting the return region of the return device and the delivery region of the return device in the delivery position.
