Komar’s equipment is built for 24/7 performance in rugged, high-output environments:
Designed for large and bulky items waste or continuous high-volume waste streams like wood, cardboard, scrap packaging, plastics, and/or other production debris.
Best for dry industrial waste, such as cardboard, film, and general debris. Often placed near loading docks.
Ideal for facilities with limited space generating recyclable materials like cardboard, plastics, textiles, or non-ferrous metals in moderate volumes.
Designed for high-volume, continuous baling of recyclables such as cardboard, plastics, textiles, or non-ferrous metals in large manufacturing operations.
For large and bulky items that need to be broken down before disposal. Ideal with pallets, crates, drums, or assembled goods.
Real-time monitoring and data analytics help optimize equipment performance and reduce downtime through proactive insights.
Scheduled maintenance keeps your equipment running smoothly, extending its life span and preventing costly breakdowns.
Reliable access to genuine parts and expert service ensures fast repairs and minimal operational disruptions.
Flexible leasing, rental, and certified used equipment options provide cost-effective solutions for short-term needs or budget-conscious operations.
*Certain materials, including electronics, organic or hazardous waste, and specialty items, may require dedicated handling or have limited recycling or disposal options depending on your location. If you are unsure what can be processed or disposed of, contact us and we will guide you to the best solution.
Manufacturers across industries—from machining and assembly through final processing and packaging—generate waste as an unavoidable result of production. Depending on the sector, this can range from dry packaging to contaminated scrap metal, wet organic waste, or hazardous byproducts.
Cardboard and other packaging materials take up excess space in your general waste stream.
Plastic molding waste demands efficient collection and compaction to prevent production delays.
Wood pallets and crates accumulate quickly in receiving areas, occupying valuable real estate.
Every minute spent manually handling waste is a minute lost from production. That’s why forward-thinking manufacturers invest in integrated waste handling systems from Komar. We help you reduce waste volume, increase recycling efficiency, and keep your shop floor clean, productive, and compliant.
In manufacturing, every decision affects uptime, efficiency, and bottom-line performance. Komar Industries helps you eliminate waste bottlenecks, reduce hauling and handling costs, and align your operation with modern sustainability and safety demands.
“Our facility is a 110,000-square-foot operations center for Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania. We get between 1.2 to 1.5 million pounds of material a day, and tonnage increases significantly during the summer. The Komar auger has increased daily soft trash, wood pallets, and general trash efficiency by 30% and 40% with furniture. I love to give shock-and-awe tours to show off the Komar Auger, which compacts 8.5 to 9 tons into each payload.”
Bob Kagle, Director of Retail Logistics, Goodwill of Southwestern Pennsylvania
“Since installing our Auger-Pak from Komar, we have improved our operations tremendously. The auger units have reduced labor from six people down to one person, who oversees the conveyor lines and compactors. We have gone from a 2-ton payload to a 10-ton-plus payload, per 40-yard container, reducing our annual pull charges by over 75%. We have less downtime and have eliminated jams due to the slow operation of the old compactors. Best of all, we had less than a one-year return on investment.”
John Hefty, Operations Manager, GameStop
“We estimate that the Auger-Pak has saved us 1,300 hours of labor per year, has reduced our hauling cost by two-thirds, and has given La-Z-Boy a safer process and more floor space.”
Troy Kvingedal, Facilities Supervisor, La-Z-Boy
“Our disposal costs have dropped, which at least covers the cost of the compactors. Aside from the monetary aspect, the compactors allow the stores to be considerably cleaner. Cleanup at night is much easier because we have no trash cluttering up the back room of the store. All in all, we are very pleased with the compactors.”
Doug Gehrig, CEO, McDonald’s of Southwest Louisiana
Auger compactors are ideal for continuous-feed operations and heavy, bulky production waste.
Yes. Komar systems can accomodate non-ferrous metal scrap.
Automated or continuous systems—such as augers and horizontal balers that are connected to conveyors— eliminate manual handling, increase efficiency, and allow personnel to focus on other tasks.
Balers can turn cardboard, plastic, and metal scrap into marketable bales, often generating revenue while reducing disposal costs.
Yes. Our Systems team can engineer automation solutions—including conveyors and other material-handling options—to ensure our equipment integrates seamlessly into your production line.
Komar auger and pre-crusher compactors are designed to reduce oversized materials—such as wooden pallets and crates—without manual break-down.
Properly designed waste systems help keep your facility safe by reducing hazards such as trip risks, fire potential, and obstructed walkways.
We recommend preventive maintenance quarterly for most heavy-duty systems, with remote monitoring options available to keep equipment operating correctly and identify issues ahead of time.
We are a waste solutions company. With a wide array of application-specific models and advanced engineering capabilities, we look forward to guiding you to the best solution for the job.
