Media Shredders

["Perry, Jeff" <perry () KU EDU>]

Greetings,

We are looking at buying a moderate size commercial shredder to shred
floppies and CD/DVD's to handle media that we either can't or are too
tedious for our commercial degaussers.  I am looking for something with
a reasonable duty cycle and warranty that is designed to handle quite a
bit of media.  I can find lots of specific info on degaussers but I'm
not having much luck finding shredders that specifically are rated for
floppy and polycarbonate media and can handle a few hundred pieces a
day.  Most product documentations says "will handle paper, credit cards,
CD's, and staples".  But I'm sure there is a big difference between
those that will take the occasional CD and those that will take floppies
and CD's all day.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

For those interested in degaussers:  We have an HD-3 from Gartner
products that is really nice.  We are now looking at buying a larger
HD-8800 to expand our "you bring it we'll nuke it" data destruction
service.  We've seen a surprising amount of mag media that won't fit in
a standard hard drive degaussers.  Who knew so many old large format
video tapes and full size reels were still lurking in closets!

Thanks,
JP
