E-waste

E-waste & e-scrap shredders

Destroy electronic scrap — hard drives, SSDs, storage media and populated circuit boards — down to a secure, unrecoverable particle. Built for ITAD and recycling operations that need both data security and recoverable output.

For drives, media and e-scrap


Hard-drive and SelecShred™ lines for media and drives, and the Particle Cut line for mixed e-scrap in bulk.

Destruction standards


We build to recognized standards including NIST SP 800-88 and DIN 66399. Tell us the standard and level you work to and we'll confirm the configuration.

NIST SP 800-88

The US guidelines for media sanitization. They set out three methods: Clear, Purge and Destroy. Shredding is a Destroy method, the highest of the three.

DIN 66399

The international standard that grades shred size into security levels, separately for each type of material. The media on this page fall under class O / T / H / E.

  • P · paper, film and printing forms
  • O · optical media — CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray
  • T · magnetic media — data tape, floppy disks, ID cards
  • H · hard drives
  • E · electronic media — SSDs, USB sticks, memory cards

Common questions


Does this destroy data on the drives?

Yes — hard drives are reduced to a 1-1/2″ (38.1 mm) strip and SSDs to a 3/16″ × 3/8″ (4.8 × 9.5 mm) cross-cut, rendering the data unrecoverable. We build to NIST SP 800-88 and DIN 66399.

Can it handle circuit boards and mixed e-scrap?

Yes — the Particle Cut line takes populated boards and mixed electronic scrap in bulk. Tell us the material and we'll set the cutter.
