The invention relates to a device for distributing hot feed into the feeding silos of a metallurgical furnace. The device comprises an inlet pipe for receiving the feed from the outlet of a previous process stage. A batching pipe is fitted to the inlet pipe for distributing the feed alternately into the feeding silos through feeding hoppers that are arranged below the inlet pipe and the batching pipe on the periphery of a circle. The inlet pipe and the batching pipe are arranged for rotation with respect to the centre axis of the inlet pipe, whereby the feed is directed alternately into each feeding hopper. The batching pipe is arranged between a protective shield, which is insulated from the environment in a gas-tight manner. The distributor of hot feed according to the invention is especially well-suited to feeding homogeneous and free-flowing material, such as preheated and pre-reduced ilmenite into the feeding and batching silos. The invention provides an environmentally safe way to feed the hot feed.
