Intimus, a company based in Wabash, Indiana, specializing in business security, has introduced a compact granulator to destroy solid-state drives (SSDs), optical media and small magnetic media. Called the SSD Destroyer, the granulator is adaptable to future destruction requirements, the company says.
According to a news release from Intimus, the granulator destroys data storage media by using two industrial solid steel cutting heads that rotate in opposition to one another to shred items until they are small enough to pass through a sizing screen. Screens can be changed quickly, depending on the level of destruction and security required. Final particle sizes as small as 2 millimeters are possible when a 3 millimeterscreen is used. This small particle size translates to the German Institute for Standardization DIN levels E-5, F-4, O-6, T-7.
Destruction feed rates of vary based on machine size, type of items processed and the output sizing screen used. However, the company says throughputs of about 60 to600 standard SSD drives per hour and 200 to-2,000 USB sticks per hour are typical. Automatic overload protection with auto reverse protects the cutting head and motor from damage from overfeeding.
All items are fed into the destruction chamber via a mailbox-style safety chute. All operational controls are mounted on the front of the granulator and include start, stop and emergency stop buttons. A digital hour meter is included as well, the company says.
A 23-gallon collection bin is mounted on casters for easy removal and replacement. The collection bin is monitored by an ultrasonic sensor to prevent overfilling.
The company says the unit is small enough to fit through standard office doors and is mounted on casters for easy relocation if necessary.
