In the mining industry determination of size distribution is traditionally done with big and very expensive ridars. In this paper a new method for analyzing crushed ore size distribution by means of image analysis from a conveyor belt is introduced. The method introduces a cheap and effective way to do size distribution analysis. Also a special analysis system based on the idea and built at Pyhsalmi, Finland, is described. With this system the analysis can be performed on-line right after crushing.
