Abstract
A high capacity withdrawal system for a pellet blender which includes a venturi shaped gas supply nozzle mounted in the gas inlet, material outlet of the vessel. The venturi nozzle allows high velocity gas to be supplied to the bottom of the vessel for circulating material through a vertical lift column in the vessel. When it is desired to discharge material from the vessel, the flow control nozzle is moved away from the discharge opening to increase its effective size to allow rapid withdrawal from material from the vessel.
