Abstract
A method and an apparatus for dividing the flow of fiber suspensions of the pulp and paper industry in which the fiber suspension is caused to flow into a space uniting the inlet and the outlet flows and in which space a vortex flow is created to prevent the suspension from forming a strong fiber network and from causing blockage of the system. The pressure of the suspension further is increased so that the suspension flowing into the apparatus need not be pressurized. The apparatus includes a vortex chamber provided with one inlet and several outlets, at least one of the outlets is preferably provided with a device for regulating the flow through the outlet. The apparatus further includes a rotor for moving the suspension through the several outlets towards further processing devices.
