The invention illustrates and describes a laboratory vibratory mill with at least one milling beaker holder which is mounted so as to be capable of oscillating, for at least one milling beaker, and with a temperature control device for controlling the temperature of the milling beaker by feeding in and/or carrying away a liquid or gaseous temperature control medium via at least one temperature control line to the milling beaker holder. According to the invention there is provision that the milling beaker holder has at least one heat transfer element which is connected to the temperature control line, wherein the heat transfer element has at least one medium duct for feeding through the temperature control medium, and wherein the temperature control of a milling beaker which is secured to and/or in the milling beaker holder is carried out by transferring heat between the temperature control medium conducted in the medium duct and the milling beaker via a wall of the heat transfer element.

A method of manufacturing an inorganic material includes: a step (A) of preparing a first inorganic material as a raw material; and a step (B) of obtaining a second inorganic material by crushing the first inorganic material using a ball mill to obtain fine particles of the first inorganic material, the ball mill including a cylindrical container and crushing balls, in which the step (B) includes a step (B1) of putting the first inorganic material and the crushing balls into the cylindrical container and subsequently rotating the cylindrical container about a cylindrical shaft and a step (B2) of moving the cylindrical container such that the first inorganic material moves in the cylindrical shaft direction.

Disclosed herein are devices, apparatuses, and methods for grinding of samples. A method includes securing a sample vial in a holder attached to a connecting linkage, the sample vial having a grinding media in the sample vial. The method includes rotating a crank that is operatively coupled to a proximal end of the connecting linkage at a proximal pivot point so that the proximal pivot point undergoes rotational motion. The method includes restricting a distal pivot point of the connecting linkage to a linear path, the distal pivot point near a distal end of the connecting linkage. A result being that the sample vial undergoes a combination of rotational and linear motion.

The disclosure is directed to a sample preparation apparatus for grinding or homogenizing test samples. More specifically, the disclosure relates to grinding samples using rotational and linear motion. Grinding samples can be accomplished with an apparatus with a slider-crank mechanism that is attached to an oscillating connecting linkage. The amplitude of oscillatory motion can be greater than or equal to a length of a sample processing chamber.
