Cardboard Processing Solutions

equipment at Gamestop

If you’re baling cardboard, you’re probably losing money.  We know this goes against conventional wisdom.  Most fulfillment and distribution centers believe their task is to identify which horizontal auto-tie baler will be the most efficient at producing high-density bales.  What if a technology existed that produced bale-density payloads but eliminated most of the operational costs and headaches of producing bales?  Welcome, the Auger Compactor.

What are the biggest benefits of the Komar solution?

  • Regain Valuable Floor Space Inside of Your Facility
  • Simple Design for Maximize Uptime / Minimal Maintenance
  • No More Moving, Stacking, or Loading Bales
  • No Expensive Baling Wire
  • Low Noise and Dust
  • Eliminates the Processing and Storage of Flammable Material Inside of  Your Facility
  • Produces Bale Density Payloads

How do we select the right model and configuration for you?

The perfect cardboard processing solution depends on many factors, such as the size, type, and volume of cardboard consumables.  We also consider where you would like to locate your equipment and which feeding method best fits your operations. All models have user-friendly controls and can be integrated with material handling equipment such as electric cart dumpers and conveying systems. With decades of experience, the experts at Komar Industries can help select the best auger-compactor system for your needs.

“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 1-year return on investment.” – John Hefty, Game Stop Operations Manager.

“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 tons plus payload, per 40yd. 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 1-year return on investment.” – John Hefty, Operations Manager
