An Allegheny hard drive shredder is an industrial HDD shredding machine that destroys hard drives to a 1-1/2″ (38.1 mm) strip at 12 to 45 drives a minute, from the compact 5HD5 through to the high-capacity 12HD20. The 5HD5 is caster-mounted and truck-installable for mobile, on-site hard drive destruction.

Engineer the feed, output and handling around the shredder.
An industrial hard drive shredding machine that destroys hard drives by tearing them apart between rotating cutters. Allegheny hard drive shredders reduce each drive to a 1-1/2″ (38.1 mm) strip, so the platters cannot be read.
The 5HD5 destroys 12–15 drives a minute, the 12HD10 25–30 and the 12HD20 40–45. Tell us your daily volume and we'll match the model.
