The primary magnetic separation mechanism uses a large ball of iron stuck to a neodymium magnet positioned at the bottom of a gravity chute; most sand bounces off the magnet while magnetic particles stick to it and form spires that move down and fall off the bottom.

Evidence Quote

it is landing on this big ball of iron here which is stuck to a large neodium magnet now most of the sand Just Hits this and bounc bounces off and it kind of fans out and lands over here but some of the sand is magnetic and is attracted to the magnet and instead of bouncing off it kind of gets stuck and it forms these little spires
