Particle Size Classification for Gravel Aggregate

McIntosh Sand and Gravel Ltd. (McIntosh) is a Saskatoon based company that performs gravel crushing and processing for industry and municipalities throughout Saskatchewan. McIntosh’s mission is to disrupt the aggregate industry through the application of new technologies that will help decrease costs and streamline processes. Saskatchewan Polytechnic will work with McIntosh to develop a digital method to determine gravel source particulate size. This is traditionally done through a sieve analysis that takes a significant amount of time and cost for each analysis. The application of machine learning and image processing through a low cost, portable system will help to decrease waste, delays in production and reduce analysis costs.
