Portable, compact and lightweight, the HPM-2 degausser is designed for use in any environment or condition -- domestic or overseas, friendly or hostile, office or mobile. Currently, the HPM-2 is the smallest permanent magnet degausser available. Simply insert the media into the drawer and rotate the effortless handle. The media is pulled inside the degausser where it passes a shielded permanent magnet that completely sanitizes the media.
Features
- Quick cycle time allows for fast throughput (erase up to 720 hard drives/tapes per hour).
- Environmentally friendly solution; manual operation requires no electricity.
- Listed in the "NSA Evaluated Products List – Degausser."

HPM-2 Performance
ERASURE
Meets DoD requirements for purging classified information on longitudinal and perpendicular magnetic disk storage devices up to 5000 Oersteds.*
*Erasure performance testing on hard disks with coercivities above 5000 Oe and on magnetic tapes 2800 Oe and above in progress.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
With permanent magnet technology, the HPM-2 portable degausser operates without electricity making it an ideal emergency destruction device that can be operated in any environment.
