A sonic reactor for transferring kinetic energy to a process fluid medium has a resonant element horizontally oriented and mounted to the two resonance units using two or more nodal support rings located at the nodal positions of the resonant element. The nodal support rings are adjustable in position relative to the resonant element and the resonance units to permit positioning of the rings directly at the nodal positions during operation, where, for example, adjustment may be required due to changes in the total mass attached to one or both free ends of the resonant unit. The sonic reactor has a grinding or mixing chamber mounted at one or both of the free ends of the resonant element.

A grinding mill for pulverizing material includes a platform having an upper surface and defining a recess having a floor, the recess configured to seat a dish in which the material is disposed, and a movable securing frame that is movably connected with the platform, the frame including a lift support having an upper surface that is movable along a path from a first location that is beneath the floor of the recess, through the recess, to a second location that is coplanar with the upper surface of the platform. A motor configured to cause oscillation of the platform and the movable securing frame can be used. A method of using the grinding mill can include placing a dish above a recess defined by an upper surface of a platform, and lowering the frame with respect to the platform, thereby seating the dish within the recess.

A planetary ball mill can include a central axis, a hub, and a plurality of milling pots. In some examples, the milling pots surrounding the central axis are configured to be transitioned between horizontal and vertical positions during operation of the planetary ball mill.

A planetary mill for comminuting material to be ground includes a carrier device rotatable about a sun axis, and a drive for rotatably driving the carrier device about the sun axis at a sun rotational speed. A first planetary grinding station includes a first grinding vessel receiving device for a grinding vessel fillable with material to be ground and grinding media. The receiving device and grinding vessel are mounted on the carrier device and are rotatable about a first planetary axis of rotation, eccentrically with respect to the sun axis. A drive rotatably drives the receiving device with the grinding vessel about the first planetary axis of rotation at a first planetary rotational speed.
