eFACTOR3 Appointed as U.S. Sales Agent and Service Partner for IMT Separator Technology

Rock Hill, SC – October 2025 – eFACTOR3 is proud to announce its appointment as the U.S. sales agent and service partner for IMT, the Austrian specialist in ballistic separation systems. This partnership combines IMT’s engineering excellence with eFACTOR3’s deep experience in the North American market, providing customers with cutting-edge separation solutions supported by local service, spare parts and integration expertise.

Proven Technology for Cleaner Streams

IMT’s ballistic separators provide an efficient way to divide mixed input into three clean fractions:

  • 2D materials: paper, film, flexible packaging

  • 3D materials: rigid plastics, bottles, wood, and metals

  • Fines: organics, glass shards, dirt, and small particles

This separation technology plays a critical role across multiple sectors:

A Natural Fit with eFACTOR3’s Portfolio

  • MRFs: improve fiber recovery, reduce plastic film contamination, and stabilize downstream optical sorting performance

  • Plastics recycling: create cleaner streams of rigid and film plastics to feed washing or extrusion systems
  • C&I waste: efficiently separate mixed commercial and industrial streams into valuable fractions.
  • C&D operations: recover valuable fractions from lighter C&D streams (up to 500 kg/m²).
  • Organics/composting: remove plastics and contaminants to improve the quality of biomass and compost products
  • RDF/SRF production: separate high-calorific fractions to optimize fuel consistency and reduce contamination

As a leading distributor of advanced recycling and waste processing equipment, eFACTOR3 already offers a full suite of solutions such as shredding, conveying, screening, density separation and air classification. By adding IMT ballistic separators, eFACTOR3 can now deliver even more turnkey systems that address both the front-end and downstream challenges of material recovery.

For example:

  • Pairing IMT separators with STEINERT optical sorters ensures higher efficiency by feeding cleaner material streams.

  • In C&I or lighter C&D waste streams, IMT machines can be combined with M&J shredders, ECOSTAR screens, and Westeria air density separators for complete recovery systems.

Local Service, Global Innovation

With eFACTOR3’s service technicians, parts inventory and Rock Hill, SC Support Center, customers benefit from immediate, local support, a critical factor in uptime and ROI. At the same time, IMT brings decades of European engineering know-how, proven across installations worldwide.

Together, IMT and eFACTOR3 bring Austrian precision and American responsiveness, delivering practical solutions that raise purity, recovery and profitability across the recycling and waste industries.
