The MAXXeGUARD shredder is designed for the physical destruction of complete hard drives and other digital data carriers. The operating principle is based on cutting slices by means of a specially designed cutting unit. The slice thickness can be adjusted, in 1 mm increments, between 70 and 1 mm. The machine can be equipped with a loading station for 15 discs as well as bar code reading system with photographic recording for proof of destruction. Destruction log and recorded photos can be easily retrieved from the machine’s computer. A second pass of the shredded material (from the first pass) allows for destruction up to 1 x 1 mm. Additionally the machine can be equipped with a secondary shredder which eliminates the need to declassify product prior to destruction. The MAXXeGUARD works in an office environment, is (very) low noise and capable to run on 220V, fused at 16 Amp.
