Harmony’s Waste Handling Equipment

Harmony manufactures one of the widest ranges of compactors available, each engineered for maximum performance and durability:

• Indoor Compactors – Compact, quiet, and ideal for restaurants, airports, offices, and retail environments that need space-saving waste control.
• Apartment Compactors – Chute or manual fed machines for multi-unit buildings. Built to provide hazard free management of a variety of types of solid waste in accordance with local municipality codes.
• Stationary Compactors – Powerful, dependable solutions for dry waste in industrial and distribution facilities.
• Self-Contained Compactors – Watertight, odor-controlled units designed for wet waste streams common in grocery, hospitality, and food production settings.

Each Harmony compactor is designed and Made in the U.S.A. using heavy-duty materials and components that stand up to decades of demanding use - providing exceptional value and lower lifetime ownership costs.

In addition to our wide range of trash compactor models, Harmony manufactures a line of full product destruction balers that deliver unmatched performance in managing out-of-spec, expired, or damaged product.

Harmony’s ExtractPack balers are engineered to perforate, drain, and bale PET, aluminum, and TetraPak containers — all in a single, efficient process. These systems dramatically reduce the time, space, labor, and money required to handle rejected beverages and liquid-filled packaging, while also providing opportunities to generate recycling revenue from the residual plastics and metals.

By combining liquid extraction and compaction in one step, Harmony’s destruction balers help manufacturers, bottlers, and co-packers meet strict compliance standards, minimize manual handling, and improve facility cleanliness — all while advancing their sustainability goals.

Harmony also designs and fabricates the equipment that moves your waste — from the point of generation to the processing chamber of your compactor or baler. Whether you’re upgrading an existing line or building a new system from the ground up, we offer fully customizable components, including:

• Custom-Sized Hoppers – Fabricated to match your facility layout, waste volume, and compactor or baler configuration.
• Tippers with Optional Metered Dumping – Engineered for controlled, consistent transfer of material from carts or containers into your compactor or baler.
• Conveyors (36” or 48” Widths) – Rugged, reliable conveyors that ensure smooth, continuous material flow for both waste and recyclables. Our conveyors utilize our “beefy cleats” which are 38% thicker than a standard cleat.
• Material Lifts and Custom Platforms – Designed for ergonomic, safe, and efficient integration into your waste handling system.

Every Harmony system can be tailored to your site’s specific requirements - giving you complete control over your waste management process while improving safety and operational throughput.

What sets Harmony apart isn’t just our product range — it’s our commitment to engineering excellence, customer collaboration, and lifetime value. As a fifth-generation, family-owned manufacturer, we take pride in building equipment that stands the test of time while helping customers achieve measurable results in sustainability and cost savings.

What kinds of waste-handling and recycling equipment does Harmony offer?
Harmony manufactures a wide range of equipment including recycling balers (vertical, horizontal, liquid-extraction) and waste compactors (indoor, outdoor, vertical, stationary, self-contained).

How do I determine which baler or compactor is the best fit for my facility?
Begin by assessing your waste stream: type of material, volume, space constraints (height, footprint), and frequency of processing. Our website notes filters by material type, bale weight (for balers), industry, and location (indoors/outdoors) to help narrow options. Also consider installation requirements, electrical needs, and placement (see blog posts on installation tips).

What benefits can I expect from using a baler or compactor?
Some of the main advantages: Reduced waste volume and hauling frequency (thereby lower hauling costs) More efficient use of space Improved recycling value (for materials like paper, cardboard, aluminum) Better operational safety and cleaner facility footprint The blog highlights how compactors help with “saving time, space, labor & money” for businesses. 

What installation or site-preparation considerations should I keep in mind?
Important factors include: Electrical supply and service rating appropriate for the equipment. Floor strength, layout and clearance for loading and container removal. Location for traffic flow, safety, and ease of maintenance. For outdoor/large systems: space for containers, access for collection trucks. Harmony has blog posts on selecting location and electrical requirements.

Does Harmony offer financing, rental or lease options?
Yes — Harmony offers options for purchasing, leasing, and renting equipment, providing flexibility depending on your business needs. 

What about service, parts and maintenance?
Harmony offers parts ordering (online form), troubleshooting guides, service & maintenance support, and warranty policy documents. Having ongoing support ensures your equipment continues performing. We also offer periodic regular preventive maintenance checks to keep your equipment up and running smoothly.
