Continuous Waste Feed Systems
The Komar continuous waste feed systems offer the unique ability to provide a metered feed while eliminating air transfer thru the feeder. Developed for feeding incinerators, and proven for more than 30 years in difficult applications such as hazardous and radioactive waste, our feeders utilize extruded material to generate an air seal and provide unmatched feed control.

Multi-Stage Processing Systems
Shred-Feed
- Drive Type:
- Electromechanical and Hydraulic
- Application:
- Incineration and Gasification
- Volume:
- Medium-High (500-50,000 lbs/hr )
- Turn Down Ratio:
- 10:1
- Feed Stock:
- A shredder is added to a hydraulic feeder when material is either too large to initially fit into the feeder’s processing chamber, or when a consistent piece size is needed for a more successful feed.
Palletized Hazardous Waste
- Drive Types:
- Hydrostatic
- Applications:
- Incineration and Gasification
- Volume:
- High (10,000-50,000 lbs/hr)Â
- Turn Down Ratio:
- 10:1
- Feed Stock:C
- Containerized hazardous solids, liquids, or resins that need to be thoroughly blended before feeding to obtain a higher level of consistency. Systems can handle up to four drums or one cubic yard per charge.
Baled MSW/RDF
- Drive Type:
- Hydraulic
- Application:
- Incineration and Gasification
- Volume:
- Medium-High (10,000-50,000 lbs/hr )
- Turn Down Ratio:
- 10:1
- Feed-Stock:
- Baled MSW / RDF

ELECTROMECHANICAL
- Drive Type:
- Electromechanical
- Application:
- Pilot Scale or Small Incineration and Gasification
- Volume:
- Low-Medium (200-1000 lbs/hr)Â
- Turn Down Ratio:
- 2:1 (or 50% of full displacement)
- Feed Stock:
- Consistent and Compressable
*Designs can vary based on material and application.
| Model | Motor Type | Tube Inner Diameter | Horsepower |
| EF-6-10 | Electromechanical | 6″ | 10 |
| EF-8-10 | Electromechanical | 8″ | 10 |
| EF-12-20 | Electromechanical | 12″ | 20 |
| EF-18-20 | Electromechanical | 18″ | 20 |
HYDRAULIC
- Drive Type:
- Hydraulic
- Application:
- Incineration and Gasification
- Volume:
- Medium (200-12000 lbs/hr)Â
- Turn Down Ratio:
- 10:1 (or 10% of full displacement)
- Feed Stock:
- Can handle a wider variety of material types and volumes than electromechanical feeders, while still maintaining the selected feed rate.
- Injector:
- Added when batch material input needs to be metered through a small diameter output, achieving a very high level of feed control.
*Designs can vary based on material and application.
