Because iron is always attracted to a magent, it will be pulled from the mixture. Aluminium will only be pulled by the magnet if certain conditions are met; as long as the metals aren't moving very quickly, a magnet has no effect on it and won't be pulled away.

How do can sorting machines work?

Sorting machines work by using sensors to detect different properties of items, such as size, shape, color, or weight.

This process allows for efficient sorting of items at high speeds.
