Abstract

The comminution and distribution device according to the invention can be used to crush comminutable, pumpable materials, in particular mechanically dewatered slurry, into roughly the same sized pieces, and feed them in controllable quantities to a downstream device, e.g., a dryer. To this end, the slurry is conveyed through a gap formed by two oppositely rotatable parts. In preferred embodiments of the device according to the invention, both parts exhibit recesses on the side facing the gap, which are designed in such a way that, when the two parts are turned opposite each other in the preset rotational direction, slurry strands with periodically alternating areas with smaller and larger cross sections are formed, transported outside and split at locations exhibiting smaller cross sections.
