Abstract
A rotatable cylinder or the like is provided between the branch duct and the main transporting duct in order to draw off a part flow of flock-laden air from the main air stream passing through the transport duct. The cylinder may be an integral part of the branch duct or a separate member. Rotation of the cylinder effects withdrawal of a part flow from the transport duct.
