Aluminium cans aren't magnetic
Aluminium and steel have different magnetic properties. Steel is ferromagnetic, meaning it is attracted to magnets, while aluminium is non-magnetic and does not respond to magnetic fields. Therefore, magnets can effectively separate steel cans from other materials, but they cannot be used to separate aluminium cans, which require different methods, such as air classifiers or eddy current separators.
The cans are made from aluminium.
Aluminium and steel cans can be separated using a magnet, as steel is magnetic while aluminium is not. By running a magnet over a pile of cans, the steel cans will be attracted to the magnet while the aluminium cans will not, allowing for easy separation.
A recycling center can separate a mixture of metal cans using a magnetic separator. This machine uses magnets to attract and separate the metal cans from other materials in the mixture, such as plastic or paper. The metal cans are then further processed for recycling.

Magnets are used for a couple reasons: To separate ferrous materials from a stream of mixed types of material. To inductively separate non-ferrous materials (like soda cans) from the same mixed stream.
Aluminium cans won't have expiry dates, but the contents will.
