What is a Degausser? How Do Degaussers Work?
Degaussing – a form of demagnetizing – is the process wherein a magnetic object, such as a computer tape, hard disk drive, or CRT monitor, is exposed to a magnetic field of greater, fluctuating intensity. A degausser is the machine that produces this intense magnetic field.

Government Approved Degaussers
Need a degausser with NSA, DOD or NATO certification? Our line of government-certified degaussers provides you with the maximum security response needed.
What We Do
Degaussing is a separate process from the computer system. It is a process that utilizes a machine (degausser) to produce a strong electromagnetic field that destroys magnetically recorded data on a magnetic media. (E.g. hard disk and tape media...) Why do we use it?

What is a Degausser? How Do Degaussers Work?
Degaussing – a form of demagnetizing – is the process wherein a magnetic object, such as a computer tape, hard disk drive, or CRT monitor, is exposed to a magnetic field of greater, fluctuating intensity. A degausser is the machine that produces this intense magnetic field. When exposed to a fluctuating magnetic field produced by a degausser, the magnetic charge of an object is reset to a magnetically neutral state.
As applied to magnetic media, such as video, audio, computer tape or hard drives, the movement of magnetic media through the degaussing field realigns the particles, resetting the magnetic field of the media to a near-zero state, in effect erasing all of the data previously written to the tape or hard drive. In many instances, degaussing resets the media to a like-new state so that it can be reused and recycled. In some instances, this simply wipes the media in preparation for safe and secure disposal. Retailers such as DataDevices International offer different types of degaussing equipment for different applications.
Principle Of the Degaussers
In order to degauss, degaussers use strong magnetic force to change the HDD's magnetic alignment to be in the direction of the applied magnetic field. The structure inside a hard disk drive is showing as below, the HDD stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating one or more flat circular discs called platters with magnetic surfaces. Because of the composition of the platters, there will be needed to run several times in order to format the disk completely. However the Hard disk crusher is able to deleter the data completely(including the remained magnetism) using strong magnetic force in 0.1 second. According to the US Department of Defense in the clearing and sanitizing standard, our Hard disk crusher is not only capable to earse the data on the HDD, but also include the serve signals, In addition, the hard disk breaker (physically destory) is one of the best way as well.
