DiskMantler™ Benefits

• Revolutionizing ITAD: The patent-pending DiskMantler™ uses a process of shock, harmonics, and vibration to disassemble hard drives into key components like the case, cover, PC board, platters, voice coil, and rare-earth magnets.
• Enhanced Recycling Efficiency: Precise separation allows magnets, PC boards, metals, plastics, and electronic parts to be directed to the appropriate recycling stream.
• Circular Economy: The DiskMantler™ simplifies the extraction of rare-earth elements and their reintegration into the supply chain, significantly reducing e-waste and minimizing negative environmental impact compared to traditional shredding, crushing, or melting methods.
• Max Recycling Value: Intact, high-value components like rare-earth magnets and PC boards are ready for efficient sorting and recycling.
• Seamless Operations: Insert the HDD into the media slot, and the DiskMantler™ automatically disassembles it in the chamber, delivering the dismantled components through the exit slot.
• Scalability: The DiskMantler™ is designed to accommodate automated systems like conveyor belts, robotics, and stackers for scalable decommissioning process.

DiskMantler™ Features

• Automated Efficiency: In just 8 to 90 seconds per drive, this hands-free, automated process disassembles hard drives according to the operator's desired degree of separation, preparing the components for responsible recycling.
• Easy Maintenance: Quick-disconnect latches and ergonomic side handles provide easy access to the removable debris tray and internal mechanisms, simplifying upkeep.
• Compact Design: With a footprint of 26.65" x 10.5" x 32"(HxWxD), the DiskMantler™ integrates seamlessly into any existing environment.
• Adjustable Cycle Time: A dial at the front of the unit allows the operator to manually adjust the disassembly time from 8-120 seconds, depending on the desired amount of component separation.
• HEPA Vacuum Compatible: A HEPA port at the top of the unit allows a HEPA vacuum to be connected to the unit.
• Light Tower: A color-coded light bar provides visual operational status.
• Continuous Operation: Engineered for efficiency, the DiskMantler™ runs continuously without the need for cooldowns between cycles, maximizing throughput and uptime.
• CE Certified: Certified for safety and emissions by an independent laboratory.
• TAA compliant: Proudly made in the U.S.A., the DiskMantler™ is manufactured at Garner's California facility.

Best Practices:

As an industry best practice, when a company gathers customer data, there is a legal obligation to safeguard this data diligently, ensuring comprehensive protection from the initial point of acquisition through to the end-of-life decommissioning process. Physical destruction of hard drives alone leaves data behind (i.e. shredding, crushing, piercing, bending). Below, is a simple decommissioning process utilizing the DiskMantler™ and Garner's DeMAG™ (patent pending) that will provide secure end-of-life processing for hard drives:

• As the first operation in the hard drive decommissioning process, use Garner's exclusive DeMAG™. Generating nearly 4 Tesla, the DeMAG™ acts as a super degausser that demagnetizes the HDD disk platters of all data and demagnetizes the magnets within the drive. In addition to ensuring the data is forensically unrecoverable, the rare-earth magnets within the drive no longer adhere to one another or other objects, which results in optimal magnet handling efficiency.
• After degaussing, simply put the HDD through the media slot of the DiskMantler™. The DiskMantler™ uses shock, harmonics, and vibration to disassemble the HDD. The HDD's components are now ready to be recycled.

Note: Solid-state media cannot be degaussed.

HDD Recycling while Maintaining Regulatory Compliance

In addition to the recycling benefits, the DiskMantler™ will help you meet the most stringent data security standards requiring media data destruction prior to disposal, including:

• DoD below Top Secret
• CCPA (California Consumer Privacy Act)
• GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation)
• GLBA (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act)
• HIPAA (Health Information Portability and Accountability Act)
• IRS 1075
• NIST SP 800-88r1
• PCI DSS 4.0 (Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard)
• PIPEDA (Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act)

CE Certified to International Safety Standards

Consistent with Garner's lead in the data destruction industry for safe product design, the DiskMantler™ is CE-certified for safety and emissions by an independent laboratory. This international certification identifies the DiskMantler™ as safe to operate in data centers and other sensitive environments around the world.

Sustainable Practices.
Eco-Friendly Products.

We are proud to be an eco-friendly manufacturer in California, the state that sets the standard for environmental protection. At every stage of the manufacturing process, from product design through manufacturing and shipping, we apply processes and use materials that minimize environmental impact.

Add Garner's Exclusive DeMAG™

Start your hard drive decommissioning process with Garner’s exclusive DeMAG™--a patent-pending super degausser with a gauss strength of 4 Tesla. The DeMAG™ eliminates all magnetic fields on HDD platters, ensuring data is forensically unrecoverable. It also demagnetizes the rare-earth magnets, making them easier to manage and sort after disassembly. Together, the DiskMantler™ and DeMAG™ offer the most comprehensive solution for verifiable data destruction, hard drive disposal, and recycling.
