Abstract

Material transporting devices are provided that include a housing, a loading port, a first inlet channel, two or more rotary discs, an outlet abutment channel, and an outlet abutment member. The first inlet channel of the housing is in communication with a flow of a mixture that includes a liquid and a viscosity modifier, in which the first inlet channel supplies at least a portion of the mixture into the flow path of the device. The mixture when combined with the flow of material within the flow path further compacts the material of the solid mass to inhibit the passage of the flow of high-pressure conveying gas from the discharge chamber, through the solid mass, and into the device. Material transporting systems are provided that include the material transporting devices. Methods are provided for transporting materials using embodiments of the material transporting devices and the material transporting systems.
