To optimize output streams in mechanical waste treatment plants dynamic particle size control is a promising approach. In addition to relevant actuators - such as an adjustable shredder gap width - this also requires technology for online and real-time measurements of the particle size distribution. The paper at hand presents a model in MATLAB® whi...
