"METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISTRIBUTING SLURRIES" ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to an improved stationary slurry distributor characterized by a centrally-located standpipe to receive the incoming slurry, a multi-apertured manifold at the base of the standpipe for continuously dis- tributing the contents of the latter into a plurality of separate compartments bordering the periphery thereof, outlets in the bottom of each compartment, stopper-type valves in- dependently operable to plug one of the outlets, and at least one overflow port in the side of each compartment arranged in misaligned relation to the inlet and slurry stream issuing therefrom, these ports being effective to both prevent the escape of the slurry therethrough when the outlet is open and, alternatively, bypass the flow when the outlet from the compartment is closed so as to not increase the flow into and through the other compartments then in use. The invention also encompasses the novel means for guiding the stopper valve during its excursions between open and closed positions that also provides the means for maintaining it in coaxial align- ment with its seat. An adjustable coupling also connects each valve to its actuator for effecting axial adjustment of the valve relative to its seat. The invention also encompasses the novel flow control method which includes the step of by- passing the input into any compartment with its outlet closed so as to not increase the flow into those with open outlets. Slurry distributors are widely used in industry as a means for supplying two or more, usually several, down- stream processing lines with a thoroughly mixed uniform product from a common source thereof. There are basically two different types of slurry distributors, the first being the so-called rotating type which does not concern us here and the second, or fixed type, to which the instant invention relates. - 1a -
