Designed for simple, quiet, and reliable operation, the DF-4 will render any hard disk drive (HDD) damaged. Working at a rapid speed (4 seconds or less), the indestructible rotating rams inside the DF-4 bend and puncture the media. This action causes the hard drive to shatter; the mangled remnants drop into your waste bin for disposal. It’s fast, easy, quiet, safe, and clean. The DF-4 is the fastest, high-volume hard drive destruction device on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List.
Features
- Fastest destruction device available (rapid cycle time of 4 seconds or less can destroy up to 1,800 hard drives per hour).
- Durable construction, maintenance free. No parts to sharpen, oil, or replace like in traditional shredders.
- Listed in the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for Hard Drive Destruction.

DF-4 Performance
HEAVY-DUTY FOR HIGH-VOLUME JOBS
Built to last, the mangling wheels resist chipping and dulling. Unlike traditional hard drive shredders, there are no parts to sharpen, oil, or replace when worn. The DF-4 provides uninterrupted operation, reducing down time and maintenance costs.
SAFETY CONTROLS
The mangling wheels of the DF-4 are 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 DF-4 with an LM-4 degausser or an LM-4E degausser, for a seamless degauss and destroy duo.
