Buyer guide
Use the product grid to compare the details that matter most before opening a product page. For shredders, the right choice usually depends on security level, sheet capacity, shred size, waste capacity, and the materials your team needs to destroy.
Choose the cut type and shred size based on how sensitive the documents or media are.
Review sheet capacity, duty cycle, motor strength, and speed for your expected workload.
Larger bins reduce emptying frequency for shared offices, departments, and records teams.

Collection FAQs
A degausser uses a strong magnetic field to erase data from magnetic media such as hard drives or tapes. It is a data sanitization tool, not a paper shredder.
No. Degaussing erases magnetic data, while shredding physically destroys the drive. Many secure workflows use degaussing before physical destruction when the media and policy require it.
No. Degaussing is for magnetic media. Solid-state drives store data differently, so SSDs usually require physical destruction or another approved sanitization method.
Check supported media, magnetic field strength, cycle time, certification needs, workflow, and whether the media should also be physically destroyed after erasure.
IT teams, government offices, data centers, archives, and organizations retiring magnetic storage media should consider degaussers.
