This hard drive crusher destroys all hard drives regardless of their size, format or type (from .65 to 1.65 inch), including laptop drives.
At the touch of a button, the Sledgehammer delivers a staggering 12,000 pounds of force to a conical punch causing catastrophic trauma to the hard drive chassis while destroying the internal platter. The unit is quiet, smooth, and virtually vibration free.
Destruction takes only 10 seconds. This Machine can destroy up to four laptop drives in on 10 second cycle.
The Sledgehammer Hard Drive physical destroyer automatically bends, breaks and mangles the hard drive - including the data platters upon which data is stored. Physical drive destruction prevents the drive from being able to "spin" up, thus the data cannot be retrieved. Once the Hard Drive is destroyed, the data will no longer be retrievable.
As the destruction process changes the physicality of the HD, drives that have been physically destroyed are easy to separate out for disposal. You're assured that no readable drives will be accidentally released from the premises.
A safety interlock prevents operation while the door is open to protect operators, and an emergency e-stop immediately halts operation when pressed.
