TS-1XTE High Security Degausser
High-strength data erasure for sensitive magnetic media
The TS-1XTE is designed to permanently erase information held on compatible magnetic hard drives and tape media. Its high-strength magnetic field processes supported media regardless of its orientation within the chamber.
The system is intended for organisations that require a controlled, repeatable and documented method of erasing sensitive or classified magnetic media.
A SCAN-1XE scanner and reporting package can be supplied to record media identifiers and processing information as each asset is degaussed.
TS-1XTE Features and Capabilities
High-Strength Magnetic Erasure
The TS-1XTE produces a nominal 20,000-gauss erasure field for supported high-coercivity magnetic media.
Key capabilities include:
- Erasure of compatible hard drives and tape formats
- Processing of working and non-working hard drives
- A nominal cycle time of approximately 15 seconds
- Continuous operation without a cooling period between cycles
- Processing that does not depend on the driveā€™s operating condition
Built-In Verification and Reporting
The TS-1XTE uses built-in diagnostics to monitor the degaussing cycle and displays the magnetic field achieved after processing.
Reporting options include:
- An LCD display showing the recorded gauss level
- Built-in cycle diagnostics
- SCAN-1XE asset scanning and reporting
- Optional IRONCLAD photographic evidence
- Exportable records linked to individual media assets
These functions can support an organisationā€™s audit trail, but should be used alongside secure handling, asset tracking and record-retention procedures.
Durable Equipment for Controlled Environments
The TS-1XTE is designed for repeated use in secure processing areas.
Key design features include:
- Construction suited to regular operational use
- Quiet operation for controlled indoor environments
- Retractable handles to assist with positioning
- A compact format for secure IT and media-processing rooms
- Compatibility with optional transport and mobility equipment

Add IRONCLAD Erasure Verification
Connect each degaussing cycle to a traceable asset record
Garner is the only brand of degaussers and destroyers withĀ IRONCLAD, an erasure and destruction verification system that automatically captures a JPEG image of the hard drive immediately after it is degaussed and generates a proof-of-destruction certificate for audit and archival purposes.
Frequently Asked Questions

Why Do SSDs Need a Different Destruction Method from Hard Drives?
SSDs need a different destruction method from hard drives because they store data in a completely different way. Traditional hard disk drives use magnetic platters, while solid-state drives use flash memory chips. This means a…
