The invention concerns apparatuses () for distributing mixed fluid or bulk material on to agricultural productive surfaces () comprising a distribution device () which has at least one fluid inlet () which can be connected to a mixed fluid supply and a plurality of outlets (). The apparatus has a plurality of conduits () connected to the outlets, wherein the conduits () have a respective connecting portion () for coupling to an application device (), wherein an outlet () and the conduit () connected to the fluid outlet define a respective flow path. In particular the apparatuses have a device () for blockage detection in individual ones of, a plurality of or all flow paths, that has a plurality of sensors (), and an electronic evaluation unit () which is adapted to receive the measurement signals output by the sensors (), compare them to each other and on the basis of signal deviations determined in that case to identify individual ones of or a plurality of flow paths as blocked.

Apparatus for distributing a mixed fluid and apparatus for distributing bulk material

The invention relates to a distributing device for liquids, particularly for solids-containing liquids, comprising: a distribution chamber with an inlet opening that leads to a chamber interior space of the distribution chamber, a first perforated blade disc with several outlet openings that connect the chamber interior space to several connection ports, and a blade drive shaft that is swivel-mounted about a drive shaft axis. According to the invention, a first eccentric member, which is connected to the blade drive shaft and defines a first eccentric axis lying at a distance to the drive shaft axis, and a first cutting blade are provided, which first cutting blade is connected to the first eccentric member and has a cutting edge that rests against the first perforated blade disc and can be moved relative to the first perforated blade disc by means of the first eccentric member.
