Our Products

Our equipment uses state of the art degaussing technology (look below for detailed explanation). Our equipment is portable and safe. While onsite, our technicians can work quietly and efficiently without interrupting normal daily work flow.

Not only do we erase tape cartridges, we also offer complete, secure, hard drive purging. In fact, we can "wipe clean," just about any digital format your Company may possess. Our products have been recommend by Quantum, HP & Benchmark.

For larger companies, we have leasing options that prove to be cost effective. We will come onsite and setup whatever equipment is needed and train your staff to perform the required tasks.


HOW IT ALL WORKS

As the media travels through the magnetic field created by a degausser, each particles’ polarity is changing from north to south 60 times per second. As the media leaves the magnetic field, the particles are left in a random polarization.

Complete media erasure is said to be achieved when the magnetic particles’ polarities are evenly distributed in opposite polarities. That is, 50% of the particles have a positive polarity and 50% of the particles have a negative polarity, creating a net magnetization of zero. This result is achieved by rotating the media through the degaussing field and then slowly removing.

If no rotation takes place, only two areas of the media will be parallel to the magnetic lines of flux. These two points will be 180 degrees of each other and at opposite ends of the media. The least amount of erasure will occur in between the 0 and 180 degree points at 90 and 270 degrees. By rotating the media 90 degrees on a second pass, the portions of the media at the 90 and 270 degree points will be at the 0 and 180 degree points.
