Abstract
The invention consists of a device called a feed, or wash box for use where it is necessary to feed a relatively large volume of slurry or liquor on to a moving surface uniformly and without excessive local velocity or turbulence, the device being characterized by the fact that it takes advantage of the moving slurry or liquor to receive it on an inclined plane, causing it to develop some velocity as it passes down the plane and spreads out, and at the end of the incline, causes it suddenly to change direction of flow by about 90.degree. and again by impact on another guide surface to change direction of flow by about 180.degree., to be fed on to a final surface, which may be a filter belt or other receiving surface.
