Abstract

A method and device for slurrying a suspension, the device including a mixing container with an inlet opening configured to introduce the suspension into the mixing container, a distributor element having a collecting container and an outlet arm fastened to the collecting container, and a shaft with a longitudinal axis, with the shaft and the distributor element arranged inside the mixing container, and the distributor element rotatable around the shaft. The collecting container has a collecting opening that permits passage of the suspension from the inlet opening into the distributor element, the outlet arm has an outflow opening that lets the suspension leave the distributor element, and the outlet arm permitting the suspension to flow out of the distributor element, with a flow of the suspension causing a torque on the distributor element so that the torque supports a rotation around the shaft.
