A typical 1,000-bed hospital serves over 8,600 meals per day. This amount of consumption inherently means that hospitals need a clean and economical way to deal with food waste. Komar’s self-contained auger compactors provide such a solution.
- Fully sealed construction for the processing, storage, and transfer of wet waste
- Eliminates unsanitary build-up due to ram drag back
- Odor and pest control with ozone technology
- Optional plug-in dock-enclosure for all-weather ease of use
Recyclables
- Auger Type:
- Stationary – Single Screw
- Applications:
- Cardboard
- Volume:
- Medium
- Duty:
- Continuous
- Feed Methods:
- Chute-Fed, Forklift, Hand
When a hospital wants to recycle cardboard, it must be processed separately from the general waste stream. For cardboard recycling, Komar suggests the Komar Auger-Pak® General Series with a cart tipper.
- More efficient processing and fewer material jams than a ram compactor
- Small machine footprint fits into tight quarters
- Low maintenance only requires one part-time operator.
- Optional plug-in dock-enclosure for all-weather ease of use
Red Bag Waste
Komar’s quad shaft shear shredders offer versatility in processing medical waste by utilizing removable sizing screens. Depending on desired output, sizing screens can be selected to provide a uniform piece size from 3/4″ to 4″. Shredders can easily handle bagged waste, sharps containers, and batches from autoclave carts. A de-jamming circuit is included to prevent damage from any stray metal waste such as hip joints and surgical tools.
