1. A system for continuously processing a combination of materials, the system comprising:
a continuous process vessel having an outlet and one or more inlets, the continuous process vessel configured to oscillate along an oscillation axis, wherein the oscillation axis is oriented parallel with a direction of a gravitational force;
an acoustic agitator coupled to the continuous process vessel, the acoustic agitator configured to oscillate the continuous process vessel along the oscillation axis; and an outlet passage in fluid communication with the outlet,
wherein at least a portion of the outlet passage or at least a portion of the continuous process vessel is disposed within a portion of the acoustic agitator,
wherein the acoustic agitator comprises a cavity extending through the agitator from a first surface to a second surface, and
wherein the at least a portion of the outlet passage or the continuous process vessel is disposed within a portion of the cavity.
