LM-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 larger conveyor bin of the LM-4E accomodates a wide variety of tape and hard disk drives measuring up to 1.6 inches (41 mm) high by 4.3 inches (109 mm) wide by 6.0 inches (150 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.

Unique Design
The LM-4E combines a set of two unique and very powerful magnet designs with the speed of an industrial conveyor belt. 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 This degausser just might be ahead of its time. We think that’s alright.

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 LM-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.

Guaranteed Security Made Simple
True security minded professionals need a guarantee that their data is completely erased. The LM-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. Guaranteed security made simple.

Fast Cycle Time
The LM-4E conveyor system allows operators to degauss one piece of media every two seconds. Organizations with extremely large quantities of media do not have the luxury of sanitizing media for long periods of time. The fast cycle time of the LM-4E allows you to quickly sanitize your media and minimize the need for additional resources to be added for media sanitization.

PERFORMANCE
Erasure
Passage through uniform DC fields along horizontal and vertical directions in excess of 1 tesla (10,000 gauss) magnetic flux density. Typically beyond narrow-band dynamic range of high-density tape and disk drive read channels. Independent scientific testing confirms this degausser erases hard disk media with a coercivity of 5000 Oersteds and tape media with a coercivity of 2800 Oersteds.

Media Size
All tape and disk drives to 1.6 inches (41 mm) high by 4.3 inches (109 mm) wide by 6.0 inches (150 mm) long.

Cycle Time
Approximately 2 seconds per conveyor bin (1 bin typically = 1 media unit) with factory set speed. Speed adjustment possible by qualified personnel.
