The vent block including a vent cavity having a feed end and an exit end, an inner feed ring that partially extends into said vent cavity at the feed end of the vent cavity, and a screw element rotatably positioned in the vent cavity. A front portion of the outer ring is longitudinally aligned with or overlapping the front end of the inner feed ring. The outer ring forms at least one gap or opening at or adjacent the feed end of the vent cavity to enable a vacuum to be pulled on the vent cavity as material is moved though the vent cavity from the feed end to the exit end by the screw element.
