Auger Compactors
Continuous-Feed Power for Bulky, Tough, or Wet Waste
Built for the Hard Jobs
When rams stall and hoppers bridge, an auger compactor keeps moving. A continuous, high-torque screw pulls material in, breaks it down, and packs it tight—no retract cycle, no waiting. If your waste stream includes bulky cardboard, pallets, foam, shrink wrap, organics, or wet/sticky loads, an auger compactor is the productivity upgrade your team will feel on day one.
Looking for an industrial auger compactor or a rugged solution for bulky and wet waste? We engineer systems for reliability, safety, and low total cost of ownership.
