Sensor-based sorting (SBS) is a sustainable processing technology for separation of coarse particles in the size range 10–350 mm. Provided full liberation in coarse particle sizes, SBS is technically applicable for very many aggregate commodities. Through its impacts on all processes in the mineral production chain and the technical options to separate on new separation criteria at relatively low cost, SBS becomes a disruptive technology. SBS is still at the market entry level for many commodities and applications, and far from reaching a technical saturation level; the sensing technology and mechanical platform developments are still developing rapidly. There is an interesting aspect of sampling in SBS, which is explored in this brief PhD summary.
