Science (general)
A device used to prepare samples for fiber analysis of materials that are going into sewer systems:
"Prøvene ble slått opp i en oppslåer for å desintegrere prøvene."
I'm tempted to use "chopper" or "grinder", but I think those are inadequate. My sister with the ChemE PhD is unavailable, so you're my best hope!

pulper
In papermaking, 'oppslått masse' and 'oppslutte' are types of paper pulp or raw stock, so here "pulper" may fit as being a slightly heavier machine than a mixer or chopper. Grinder would be more of machine for solids.

Pulpers can be relatively small and suitable for lab work, see
www.ducobiz.com/pulp_pdf/laboratory_pulper.pdf (which is not specifically designed for paper) and

Note from asker:
| This happens to be at a testing lab, not a paper manufacturer. Is it likely that a lab would be using a pulper, however small one might be? I don't know, which is why I ask. |
| Thanks! I'll award the points as soon as possible. |
