Anybody know of any articles or videos on how these big shredders work and how they classify the different types of metals? I was just curious about how after an appliance gets shredded how they separate the copper, aluminum, plastic, brass, stainless steel, etc. Magnetic steel would be pretty obvious. I have be wondering for a while now how that works.

May be wrong but I think it has something to do with the specific gravity/density of the material causes it to fall in the proper place. Some sorters in manufacturing are able to use a cameras and a blast of air to move things where they want it. Sorry but no video references for this.

I saw a couple on YOUTUBE. I forget specifically. Some sorting was by magnets; some by material density etc. You might try going on there and looking around.
People may laugh at me, but that's ok. I laugh all the way to the bank.
Nothing to reference online, but we spent alot of time researching these systems... typically they generate ferrous fractions, non ferrous fractions (copper/brass, Aluminum), plastic fractions and printed circuit board fractions. These systems typically use a combination of magnetic belt(s), eddy current, optical sorting, gravity discharges, and more.
