Harmony, MN - Harmony Enterprises is pleased to announce that it completed installation and training on six SmartPack Automatic Trash Compactors in the new B Terminal of LaGuardia Airport in New York to handle 11x more waste than normal garbage containers while saving on hauling costs, labor, and trash can liners. The new construction terminal opened recently to the public.
Harmony’s SmartPack no-touch automatic compactors are placed strategically throughout the food court and walkways to compact waste and collect recyclables at their source, while improving the traveler experience.
SmartPacks are equipped with Insite Technology, a wireless text/email system, which alerts staff when a compactor is partially full, full, or requires attention. This allows staff to manage trash on a “just-in-time” basis, freeing them up for other, more important duties”, according to National Sales Manager, Nick Roberts. Insite also provides customizable scheduled or on demand reporting of % of fullness of each compactor, maximizing compactor usage and staff FTE’s. With labor shortages affecting virtually every aspect of airports, SmartPack provides labor efficiencies never before seen in waste management!
The cost of the purchase is far surpassed by an ROI of less than 2 years. SmartPacks can be purchased, leased, or rented through Harmony Equipment Rental.

Fairbanks International Airport Baggage Transport Conveyor Enhanced With Mod Drive™ System
Airports face a host of unique industry challenges, such as meeting efficiency regulations and seeking out the best maintenance practices to reduce costs and keep operations flowing. In today’s current economic climate, any potential cost savings can go a long way.
In 2019, Alaska’s Fairbanks International Airport (FAI) sought to modernize its equipment and operations. They were dissatisfied with the performance of the gearmotors on their baggage transport conveyors and began searching for new suppliers. Regal approached FAI with a solution that could improve equipment performance and simplify maintenance, with the added benefit of energy cost savings: the Hub City® MOD Drive™ system.
