Flash, not just disks
The only machine in the range that handles SSDs, phones, USB drives, SIMs and cards.
SSD & Flash Shredder
PDS-88 SSD & Media Shredder
Magnetic fields do not touch flash. The PDS-88 is the machine that does — shredding SSDs, smartphones, USB drives, SIM and credit cards and optical media from an ordinary office wall outlet.
Overview
What this gives you
A degausser is the wrong tool for an SSD, and so is a crusher. Flash memory has no magnetic layer to randomise, and a bent circuit board is not the same as shredded silicon. The PDS-88 cuts and shreds the media itself, which is what makes it defensible under the standards that cover flash.
It is deliberately an office-grade machine. It fits in a copy room, runs from a standard wall outlet, and needs no dedicated secure room or specialist ventilation. That is what makes it practical to deploy alongside a degausser: most Indian organisations end up running a two-machine cell, one for magnetic media and one for everything else.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
An SSD stores data in flash cells with no magnetic layer. A magnetic pulse does nothing to it, so a SSD has to be physically destroyed — which is what the PDS-88 does.
Remove batteries from phones, tablets, laptops and power banks. Lithium cells are a fire risk inside a shredder, so battery removal is a required step in the operating procedure.
It is designed for an office copy room: it runs from a standard wall outlet, produces a manageable paper-and-plastic waste stream, and has transparent chute covers so operators can see what is going in.
