Concept
Allegheny has recently introduced their new SelecShred™ Hard Drive Shredder. This powerful shredder gives customers the ability to securely destroy both solid state drives (SSDs) and hard drives on the same machine, as well as most e-scrap products, including cell phones, circuit boards, tapes, and CD’s.
The SelecShred™ Hard Drive Shredder comes in 3 different models. A 5 Hp. and 7½ Hp. model, which destroy SSDs to 3/8″ and hard drives to 1½”, and a 20 Hp. model, which shreds SSDs to 3/4″ and hard drives to 3/8”.
The 12HD7.5 and 12HD20 SelecShred™ have a 12 inch wide feed opening, allowing for a 6 inch cutting width for both the HD and SSD side. These models come with a bolt on output conveyor that discharges at standard gaylord height for easy disposal of shredded e-scrap material.
Allegheny’s 9HD5 SelecShred™ has a 9 inch wide feed opening with 5 inches for hard drives and 4 inches for SSDs. This model does not have an output conveyor option, but has a self-contained 7.5 gallon container that holds shred and is easily removable for dumping.
Benefits
- Provide customers with different shred width options to follow internal regulations
- Shredder can be used in a mobile truck for on-site e-scrap destruction
