A vertical distributor of a sand remover comprises a distributor, a hydro-cyclone, a discharge pipe and slurry chute. A baffle is arranged in the middle of the inner wall of the distributor and divides the interior of the distributor into the upper portion and the lower portion. A material outlet is formed on the side wall of the upper portion, and a material inlet is formed on the side wall of the lower portion. An overflow port is formed in the top surface of the hydro-cyclone and is communicated with the upper portion of the distributor through the discharge pipe. An inlet communicated with the lower portion of the distributor is formed in the side wall of the hydro-cyclone. A sand outlet is formed in the bottom of the hydro-cyclone and aligns at an opening of the slurry chute. Outlets are formed in the bottom and the side wall of the slurry chute respectively. The vertical distributor of the sand remover has the advantages of being simple in structure, convenient to use, capable of evenly distributing slurry pressure, good in sand removing effect, large in processing amount and small in floor occupation due to the vertical type, and saving resources.
