Provided herein are systems and methods for various advanced material processing and measurement technologies. A system for scaling material processing comprises stacked vessels inhibiting bridging with cohesive materials. Methods and systems for controlling power or power density in an acoustic mixer involve determining required power density, applying energy, and maintaining uniform power density. Quick-adjust vessel holders feature mechanisms for coarse and fine adjustments. A non-contact displacement sensor system for acoustic mixers includes sensors and accelerometers. Gas vacuum filter systems use reinforced membranes to permit gas escape while blocking solids and liquids, mounting externally for easy cleaning. Methods for measuring displacement and filtering gas in vacuum lines are also disclosed.
