    Abstract: In a preferred embodiment the jet divider device according to the invention comprises a series of frustoconical walls (2) having at the top a collar (3) projecting radially outwards, three radial arms (4) extending inwards and effecting the spacing of the members when a plurality of members of decreasing diameter are nested.The assembly is disposed in a grid-carrier sleeve of a filling head and produces a radial component of the flow. During the flowing of a pulpy product, the elements of the pulp which would tend to straddle the top edges of the different members are thus subjected to a radial force and entrained by the liquid to be packed.
