Mattress Recycling, Finally Solved with the Komptech Terminator™
Turn your most frustrating waste stream into a fast, predictable, operator-safe workflow.
Mattresses Are Overwhelming Municipal Operations
Mattresses balloon storage piles, clog compactors, and jam equipment, bringing production to a standstill until the problem is fixed. Every operator knows: handling them is slow, inconsistent, and expensive.
Why mattresses are so inefficient to handle:
- They eat up bin space and require more truckloads.
- They don’t compact well with traditional equipment.’Springs tangle and damage machinery.
- Operators have to stop and manually reposition material.
Why The Komptech Terminator Is Built for Mattress Recycling
The Terminator excels where traditional shredders and compactors fail. Recycling contractors, municipalities, and landfill operators choose it because it’s designed specifically for bulky, stubborn waste streams like mattresses.

Benefits of the Terminator
Relentless High-Torque Power
Low-speed, high-torque shredding chews through springs, foam, fabric, and frames without hesitation. No stalls, no wrestling with coils.
Minimal Downtime
Open single-shaft design and reversible teeth reduce tangling and keep operators productive.
Consistent Output For Easy Sorting
Mattresses are shredded into manageable pieces ready for magnets, air separation, or further processing.

With the Komptech Terminator, municipalities and recyclers can finally stop treating mattresses like a problem stream and start treating them like a controlled, profitable workflow.
