Abstract

Systems and methods for separating metallically augmented non-magnetic objects are provided herein. Systems may include a conveyor for translating refuse along a path, the refuse comprising non-magnetic objects and metallically augmented non-magnetic objects, and a magnetic force generator extending along at least a portion of the conveyor and generating a magnetic force that causes the metallically augmented non-magnetic objects to remain in contact with the conveyor as the metallically augmented non-magnetic objects traverse along the path and as the non-magnetic objects are removed from conveyor.
