HPM-4E Degausser

Meets NSA requirements for purging classified information on Longitudinal Magnetic Recorded (LMR) and Perpendicular Magnetic Recorded (PMR) hard disk media with a coercivity up to 5000 Oersteds magnetic tape media with coercivities up to 2800 Oersteds. The HPM-4E accepts hard drives 1.65 inches (41 mm) high by 4.6 inches (117 mm) wide by 7 inches (178 mm) deep including floppy disks, zip disks, jazz disks and hard disk drives without removing the disk platters, plus tape media including DLT, LTO, 8mm and DDS.

Fast Cycle Time
Regardless of your operating environment, one thing always holds true, you need a fast degausser. The HPM-4E is manually operated; therefore the cycle time is only a few seconds. Minimal time and effort is required to degauss media fast.

The HPM-4E is an ideal emergency destruction device. The HPM-4E does not require electricity; it can be operated in any environment, friendly or hostile.

Extended Lifecycle
A major benefit of any degausser is its useful life to the customer. You need to know your equipment is going to keep pace with advancing data storage technology. The HPM-4E generates one of the strongest magnetic fields of any degausser manufactured. This advantage allows you to obtain a longer useful life from a degausser.

Unique Design
The HPM-4E combines a set of two unique and very powerful magnet designs with the speed of an industrial hand crank. By generating fields in multiple directions, it is possibly your best defense against current Longitudinal Magnetic Recorded (LMR) and future Perpendicular Magnetic Recorded (PMR) hard disk media.

Guaranteed Security Made Simple
True security minded professionals need a guarantee that their data is completely erased. The HPM-4E degausser’s listing in the NSA EPL-Degausser guarantees you that your data is gone; you never have to worry your data will end up with the wrong person. The HPM-4E is simple to operate. INSERT media, ROTATE handle and REMOVE media. Guaranteed security made simple.

Reduce Your Carbon Footprint
In general terms, degaussers do not use an excessive amount of energy when in operation. However, it is important for all of us to reduce our carbon footprint when possible and when feasible. Manually operated permanent degaussers, such as the HPM-4E can be one more item in your arsenal to reduce your carbon footprint.
