An apparatus and method for uniformly distributing wood chips fed to the receiving end of a wood chip sorter, comprising a chute having an interior, an influent end, and an effluent end, a plurality of blades disposed within the interior of the chute, and a handle connected to each blade for rotating the blade to a desired rotational orientation to adjust the distribution of the chips. Wood chips pass through the influent end, through the interior of the chute, and out of the effluent end onto the receiving end of the wood chip sorter. Each blade is movable via the handle member to one of a plurality of desired rotational positions, in which each of the desired rotational positions diverts the wood chips differently relative to that blade as the wood chips pass through the chute. The present invention also includes openings to laterally move the blades relative to the flow of wood chips and locking nuts to lock each blade at the desired lateral and rotational orientation.
