How to use the Crunch 250 to crush hard disks

The Crunch 250 hard disk crusher is equipped with our unique Data Destruction Auditor, allowing users to record and confirm HDD and SSD destruction and produce reports that are ready for data protection audits and can be used as proof of the destruction process.

The Crunch 250 hard drive crusher destroys the drives and memory chips, in contrast to other degaussers that erase data using strong magnetic fields. The Crunch 250 is the ideal degausser companion for businesses that want the highest level of security. Companies that recycle used media storage devices might also benefit from it. A hard copy record of the entire data destruction process is provided by the innovative Log System, which keeps track of all operations and destruction information.

The Crunch 250 HDD crusher is neat and small, and it can destroy media in just 9 seconds, making it time- and space-efficient. It contains built-in safety features and is simple to use. The useful LCD display also shows the status of the data destruction.

How it works

The process of destruction can be finished in just three simple stages. The operator inserts the drive after opening the door. The unit is powered on when the door is closed, and the destruction process is initiated by pressing the button. A progress bar appears on the LCD. The door is opened and the destroyed drive can be removed when the display indicates that the process is finished.

Safety inbuilt

The safety interlocks make sure that during the entire cycle, operators cannot place fingers, garments, etc. in the crushing region while the moving parts are powered.
