Automatic cycle
Sensor-triggered eight-second cycles with no operator skill required for consistent output.
Production throughput without a single point of failure. The PDS-100 destroys drives automatically in eight seconds, with a manual crank backup so output never stops.
The PDS-100 is the machine for organisations that destroy enough media every day for operator effort to become the constraint. The sensor-triggered cycle means the operator loads the drive and steps back; consistency no longer depends on how carefully the lever was pulled that morning.
The manual crank handle is the detail that makes it reliable. An automatic machine with a single motor is one failure away from a production stoppage; the PDS-100 can be cranked through a power failure, so a sanitisation line does not disappear for the day.
Sensor-triggered eight-second cycles with no operator skill required for consistent output.
Production continues even when the power does not.
Handles high-capacity enterprise and laptop drives alike.
Consistent output makes per-asset costing predictable.

The situations this is most often specified for, based on what we are asked to quote most often.
Because production stops when a machine stops. The crank lets a trained operator complete a cycle during a power failure, so a sanitisation line degrades to manual throughput instead of going to zero.
Far less than a manual machine, because the sensor triggers the cycle. We train the operator on loading, the crush area, recording the asset and the manual backup procedure.
Yes, with the optional deployment case and rack shelf. Many customers run a PDS-100 in a mobile sanitisation kit for multi-site work.
