Industrial Wood Waste Processing Solutions
Whether a shipping facility, a furniture company, or an industrial manufacturing site, all types of businesses produce wood waste. Often that waste is comprised of unneeded pallets, skids, crates, spools, and/or manufacturing scrap. Without proper management techniques, this scrap will quickly overtake the facility and drastically inflate hauling costs.
The Komar Advantage
Komar Industries can help you get a handle on wood waste. We manufacture the safest, most cost-effective, and most efficient industrial wood waste processing solution on the market – the Komar Auger-Pak®. Coming in a wide array of sizes and configurations, this auger compactor series shreds and compacts in one machine, completely automating material breakdown, while delivering a staggering 5:1 volume reduction.
What is the secret to making the best auger compactors for wood waste?

This high-quality durable construction, along with a drive system that boasts a 500% shock load rating, ensures that our augers crunch through large loads with ease, year after year. In addition, our triple patented bearing support system allows us to house the largest most powerful auger screws in the industry.
