Harmony, MN - Harmony Enterprises announced today that it completed installing six trash compactors in three different terminals at DFW, allowing the Texas airport to handle 10x more waste than normal garbage containers and save on hauling costs, labor and trash can liners.
The SmartPack/Insite Wireless compactors also have a wireless text/email system, which alerts staff when a compactor is full. This allows for better use of staff time, says Harmony Business Development Manager Lane Powell.
“Harmony waste receptacles are about the same size as regular trash containers except they crush waste to allow more waste to be in each bag,” Powell says. “The no touch door and modern, customizable décor make them appealing in any airport setting. Each one of these compactors can hold up to 10x more waste than a traditional garbage can which in turns saves airports money and makes them more sustainable.”
The cost of the purchase is surpassed by an ROI of less than 2 years.

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.
