DX-8 Performance
HEAVY-DUTY FOR HIGH-VOLUME JOBS
The DX-8 is built to last with crushing components that resist chipping and dulling. Unlike traditional hard drive shredders, there are no parts to sharpen, oil or constantly replace. This provides uninterrupted operation, reducing down-time and maintenance costs. The DX-8 includes an easy to use jam reverse mode for continuous use.
SAFETY CONTROLS
The destruction mechanism of the DX-8 is housed deep inside the machine, safely protecting the operator from harm at all times. In the event of an emergency, a manual stop button halts the operation of the machine.
DEGAUSS, THEN DESTROY
Department of Defense magnetic media sanitization regulations require the use of an approved degausser, at minimum. In addition, they recommend degaussing be followed by physical damage prior to disposal. For complete compliance, pair the DX-8 with the LM-1 or LM-1C degausser for a seamless degauss and destroy system.
