Abstract
Flow divider for a powdery material, comprising a vertical duct supplied with said material. A knife with a separating upper edge is provided at the outlet of said duct to divide the inflow of said material into two outflows. At least one straight air passage is provided, lateral with respect to the vertical axis of the knife, between the inlets of two eduction chutes for said outflows. The level of said air passage is notably below that of said separating upper edge of the knife.
