    They superheat it all. The steel melts into ingots, and the plastic burns away.

    When I was younger I worked with a professor who worked for the CIA, and we were studying means by which to undermine the Hussein regime in Iraq.

    Uday and Qusay, Saddam's sons, were just as sadistic and entitled as their father was, and they loved to take dissidents to the scrap processing plant they owned and toss them into their machine. If you were lucky you went head first, but no one was lucky around the Hussein boys, who'd stop the machine when you were halfway through and taunt you while you bled out in unthinkable agony.

    They weren't big on dignity in Iraq.

    in the video you can see the magnetic section of the belt taking the metal to the end of the belt, whereas the non-magnetic( which unfortunately includes aluminium, copper, and pot metal) falling into a different pile (at 0:18 - 0:20 in the video)

    There are various ways to separate materials according to density.

    If you "shoot" ground up materials off the end of a high speed conveyor belt, dense materials will travel further that less dense materials. This concept is used in some facilities.

    Or materials can be feed into a vertical tube with air blowing upward, heavier stuff falls out of the air stream onto a conveyor, lighter stuff is blown into another bin. Various air speeds in different tubes can separate different density materials.
