Abstract: The invention relates to a distributor for granular material, having a distributor head, which is designed to divide up an air-material main flow supplied through a main conveying line to the distributor head into a plurality of air-material individual flows, and at least one return device, which comprises a movable deflecting element, which is designed, in a delivery position, to supply an air-material individual flow flowing into an inflow region of the return device to a delivery region, connected to a delivery line, of the return device and, in a shut-off position, to direct an air-material individual flow flowing into the inflow region of the return device via a return line of the return device to a return region, connected to the main conveying line, of the return device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a distributor (10) for granular material, having a distributor head (14), which is designed to divide up an air-material main flow supplied through a main conveying line (12) to the distributor head (14) into a plurality of air-material individual flows, and at least one return device (16), which comprises a movable deflecting element (36), which is designed, in a delivery position, to supply an air-material individual flow flowing into an inflow region (26) of the return device (16) to a delivery region (28), connected to a delivery line (18), of the return device (16) and, in a shut-off position, to direct an air-material individual flow flowing into the inflow region (26) of the return device (16) via a return line (30) of the return device (16) to a return region (32), connected to the main conveying line (12), of the return device (16).
