Heavy-duty machines for high-volume operations where capacity and durability are non-negotiable, such as manufacturing and distribution centers.
Cost-effective baling equipment equipped with manual wire tying that deliver consistent, controlled output in moderate-volume streams.
These high-speed systems automatically tie bales for uninterrupted processing. Engineered to handle various recyclables but are optimized for single-stream operations, delivering maximum throughput for high-volume facilities.
Durable, heavy-duty systems built for large-scale operations handling multiple material streams in demanding environments.
Fixed-position units pack dry waste into sealed, removable containers for efficient pickup and disposal.
Fully enclosed equipment that can handle wet and mixed waste streams, keeping facilities clean and odor-free.
Space-saving machines that deliver reliable waste compaction in areas with limited floor or outdoor space.
Light duty auger compactors designed to shred and compact low- to medium-volume waste streams in one step, reducing handling costs and improving efficiency.
High-capacity equipment designed to process large volumes of waste with uninterrupted feed to keep production running, even during throughput shifts.
Single-screw equipment with integrated cutting technology to process dense, oversized materials that standard equipment can’t effectively handle.
Twin-auger systems engineered for maximum processing power, using sequential compaction to achieve higher material density and minimize hauling frequency.
High-performance equipment that offers maximum processing capacity and adaptable material management in demanding settings.
Designed to tightly compact waste and remove liquids in a single, uninterrupted process for improved cleanliness, streamlined waste handling, and lower disposal costs.
Front loaders, rear loaders, and roll-off trucks built to satisfy the waste collection and transport demands of municipalities, haulers, and commercial facilities.
Purpose-built machines designed to automatically separate mixed waste and organic material for cleaner processing and improved landfill diversion.
Designed to keep waste moving through screening, sorting, compaction, and baling without manual intervention for maximum efficiency.

“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
“I never hesitate to recommend our vertical trash compactor because it does everything your brochure represents it to accomplish. I can’t imagine anyone in the restaurant business not utilizing this apparatus. It really has become one of my proudest restaurant possessions. It works so smoothly that I almost feel smug when I see all the gigantic trash containers for other restaurants.”
Robert Leonardi, Leonardi's Restaurant, Fort Lauderdale, Florida
“Since installing our Komar auger, 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
