Process and a device for the distribution of a conveyed flow

An apparatus for the distribution of a conveyed flow of particles for the production of chipboard, fiberboard or the like by separation of the conveyed flow into two partial flows comprising a feeding device for continuously supplying the conveyed flow of particles, a discharge device disposed below the feeding device for continuously receiving the conveyed flow of particles and continuously discharging such particles, a generally planar rake-shaped distributing device disposed below the discharge device for continuously distributing the flow of conveyed particles received from the discharge device in two different directions, the rake-shaped distributing device comprising a plurality of spaced apart flat tongues with each adjacent pair of tongues separated by a slotted portion, the discharge device and rake-shaped distributing device being constructed and arranged to cause a portion of the conveyed flow of particles to penetrate only the slotted portions of the rake-shaped distributing device to thereby produce flow in one direction and to cause another portion of the conveyed flow of particles to flow along the flat tongues in a different direction.
