Series 3 solid-state drive shredders will shred most standard SSDs, cell phones, memory cards, thumb drives, and other solid-state devices to 3/8″ wide particles. This small shred size is required to destroy all of the memory chips that solid-state products use to store data. Any batteries must be removed prior to shredding.

Series 3 solid-state drive shredders consist of two models from fifteen to twenty horsepower. An output conveyor is a standard inclusion on our frame models, but it is substituted for an infeed conveyor on the stand models, which have a drop-down discharge. Our stand models also include integrated fork pockets above the stand for balanced lifting because the bulk of the weight is on top. 

Series 3 hard drive shredders have a variety of optional features that include an air filtration system, fork pockets, hard drive counter, and a viewing window. All of our Series 3 hard drive shredders can be stationary or placed in trucks for mobile hard drive shredding, but you will want our stand model for the latter. It has a smaller footprint, and the drop-down discharge gains you another pallet position.

As data bearing devices continue to get smaller, we found that some can pass through the cutters with minimal to no damage if fed improperly. Therefore, we developed precision clearance cutterheads that ensure the destruction of M.2-SSDs and other small media. These cutterheads are available on all new HDD-SSD shredders as an upgrade. A retrofit upgrade package is also available on any model purchased after 2019. 

Our Data Capture System is also optional, and was designed to help electronic recyclers meet R2v3 requirements. It allows the user to photograph the drive, which identifies and captures the barcodes, and then videotape the shredding process. Each step in the data destruction and cataloging process is precisely time-stamped. The system’s flexibility allows users to decide whether to utilize the Data Capture System in full, in part, or bypass it entirely.

Series 3 HDD-SSD combo shredders are available in the same horsepower models. Click on the bold print if you want to shred rotary hard drives and solid-state drives in one shredder.
