Fast-moving facilities continually create waste: corrugated, plastics, stretch film, wood, and more. Komar’s heavy-duty compactors, balers, and augers reduce volume at the source, improve material flow, reclaim critical space, and cut hauling and handling costs.
Guest satisfaction is shaped by the entire experience, waste handling included. Komar equipment processes food waste, packaging, and recyclables without interrupting back-of-house operations, reclaiming space and supporting sustainability goals.
Manufacturers face bulky, high-volume waste, from non-ferrous scrap and industrial packaging to production byproducts. Komar’s industrial-grade augers, compactors, and balers are built to handle heavy loads, streamline disposal, and support workplace safety without adding costs.
Cities and municipalities contend with diverse waste: recyclables, organics, bulky items, and general refuse. Komar’s durable equipment supports high-throughput environments with reliable, cost-effective processing solutions that keep public works and recycling centers running.
Recycling operations never stop. Komar’s durable pre-shredding and volume reduction systems handle diverse streams of cardboard, plastics, and non-ferrous metals for better throughput, lower labor demands, reduced hauling costs, and better material recovery.
Tenant satisfaction in residential and commercial properties starts with clean, odor-free waste management. Komar’s compact systems quietly manage commons wastes and recyclables, reducing pickup frequency, controlling costs, and maintaining the quality occupants expect.
Retailers face tight backroom space and high waste volumes of cardboard, plastics, and packaging. Our powerful compactors and balers compress waste on-site, reducing clutter and hauling costs while supporting recycling and donation programs. Perfect for grocery stores, superstores, big-box stores, and specialty retail.
Limited space, rising hauling costs, and zero tolerance for disruption are constant pressures for SMBs. Komar’s compact, plug-and-play systems solve waste challenges for smaller operations, fitting seamlessly into existing workflows while controlling expenses.
Energy recovery starts with efficient material preparation. Komar’s rugged and custom engineered processing systems convert wood waste, biomass, and residuals into uniform feedstock, improving throughput and supporting renewable energy goals.
Haulers and processors need rugged, high-performance equipment for demanding routes and customer needs. Komar’s equipment is engineered for supreme durability, unmatched performance, and maximum uptime in demanding operations.
Supermarkets and grocery chains handle unique waste streams—food waste, corrugated, and stretch film. Komar’s self-contained compactors and vertical balers manage these materials on-site, reclaiming space, reducing hauling costs, and supporting sustainability goals.
“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 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
“We estimate that the Komar Auger 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
