Abstract
A conduit extends laterally through a rotor of a high pressure feeder to relieve any unequal pressures acting on opposite ends of the rotor. The conduit allows slurry under extraordinarily high pressure at one end of the rotor, to flow laterally through the rotor, and be released through the opposite end of the rotor into the rotor housing.
