FIELD: separating chambers of hydraulic transport facilities. SUBSTANCE: separating chamber has cylindrical reservoir 1 with flexible diaphragm divider 2 made in form of cylinder in accordance with configuration and sizes of reservoir and secured in this reservoir on bearing members 5. End sections of divider are reinforced over length of 0.47 to 0.62 of inner diameter of reservoir. Bearing members 5 of reservoir are provided with three-blade limiters of cross travels of divider 6. Provided at ends of reservoir are taper perforated longitudinal travel limiters 7. Supply pipe lines 10 and discharge pip lines 11 of pulp being transported and actuating medium are connected to reservoir on different sides from divider through controllable valves. Actuating medium supply pipe line 8 and actuating medium discharge pipe line 9 are connected to reservoir by means of branch pipes located in area of reinforced sections of divider.
