HPM-2 Degausser
HPM-2 Degausser
National Security Agency Evaluated. 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.
ERASURE
Superior magnetic field strength exceeds DoD requirements for purging classified information. Independent scientific testing confirms this degausser erases Longitudinal Magnetic Recorded (LMR) and Perpendicular Magnetic Recorded (PMR) hard disk media with a coercivity of 5000 Oersteds and magnetic tape media with a coercivity of 3000 Oersteds.*
*Erasure performance testing on hard disks with coercivities above 5000 Oe and on magnetic tapes above 3000 Oe in progress.
ENERGY EFFICIENT
With permanent magnet technology, the portable HPM-2 Degausser operates without electricity, making it an ideal emergency destruction device that can be operated in any environment.
Features
- Smallest Footprint, lightest weight, fastest cycle.
- Environmentally friendly solution; manual operation requires no electricity.
- Listed in the "NSA Evaluated Products List for Magnetic Degaussers."
