Sizing is the mechanical process of separating crushed ore, coal, or aggregate into specific dimensional fractions. This is typically achieved by passing the material over a series of vibrating screens or grizzlies with specific mesh openings. Proper sizing ensures that downstream processing equipment, like mills or flotation cells, receives an optimal and consistent feed.
