Portable

Proton 1100 Wand Degausser

Handheld wand for on-site destruction of disk drives, diskpacks, drum memories and tapes.

  • Carried to the media — no need to move drives back to a central sanitisation room
  • Full-cycle positive and negative field clears remnant magnetic signatures left by conventional erase and reformat
  • Tested for perpendicular magnetic disk devices and up to 5,000 Oe media

Magnetic + physical + flash

Complete a full destruction cell with Proton

A degausser handles magnetic media. For a defensible, end-to-end sanitisation policy most Indian organisations run all three: degauss magnetic media, crush it, and shred the flash.

PDS-100 Destroyer

Automatic motor-driven crusher with a manual crank backup — production throughput without a single point of failure.

How a degausser works

Three steps from data to destroyed data

Load the media

Drop the drive or tape into the drawer or slot. Server drives can be loaded with their sleds and brackets still fitted.

Run the magnetic pulse

A powerful alternating field — 1 Tesla up to 2 Tesla, or ±20,000 Gauss bi-directional on the T-4 — randomises the magnetic domains on the platter so the original bit pattern no longer exists.

Verify and record

Every Proton machine confirms a successful cycle on its LCD, and the T-4, T-5, T-1.2 and T-1.5 report field strength — giving you a defensible destruction record for your audit file.

Why Quridge

An authorised Proton channel partner, not a grey-market broker

Buying a degausser is a trust purchase. The machine must work on day one, in year five, and produce paperwork your auditor accepts. That is the whole job.

Authorised

Authorised Proton partner

Direct channel partner of Proton Data Security, USA. Genuine equipment, full warranty, factory spares.

Pan-India

Supply across India

We ship to every state. Installed commissioning and operator training included on every machine.

Compliance

Audit-ready records

Cycle logs, certificates and destruction registers formatted for DPDP Act, RBI, IT Act and ISO 27001 audits.

Service

AMC & spares

Annual maintenance, on-site response, calibration checks and genuine spares held in Bengaluru.

Compliance in India

Built for Indian audit requirements

Law and standards your destruction policy is measured against

  • DPDP Act 2023 — record-keeping obligations and the end-of-life deletion of personal data.
  • IT Act, 2000 & Rules — reasonable security safeguards under Section 70A.
  • RBI guidance for banks and NBFCs on disposal of customer data and storage media.
  • NIST SP 800-88 Rev. 1 — the media sanitisation reference most Indian policies adopt.
  • US DoD / NSA CSS EPL — required for defence, PSU and government procurement.
  • ISO/IEC 27001, HIPAA, GLBA, PCI DSS, PIPEDA — supported by the PDS-88 shredder range.

Frequently asked questions

Straight answers to the questions Indian buyers ask most often. Cannot find yours? Call us — we answer technical questions on the phone.

What is a degausser and why do I need one in India?
A degausser destroys data by magnetically randomising the recording layer inside hard drives and tapes. In India it is the only method that works uniformly — including on drives that are dead, clicked, or locked by firmware — and it is the sanitisation method referenced by NIST SP 800-88, US DoD and the NSA's Evaluated Products List, which Indian banks, PSUs and government departments specify in their tenders.
Which Proton degausser should I buy for my organisation?
Choose by volume and compliance requirement. The T-1 (1 Tesla, 20 sec) suits offices and small sites. The T-1.2 and T-1.5 (1.2 / 1.5 Tesla) suit data centres, banks and ITAD companies with steady volume. The T-4 and T-5 are NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List listed and are what defence, government, PSU and BFSI tenders ask for. The 1100 wand is for branch-level and on-site field work. Tell us your drives per day and we will recommend the model.
Is a degausser enough on its own?
For magnetic media, yes — degaussing is a recognised sanitisation method. Most customers add a physical destruction step as a second barrier: a PDS-30, PDS-75 or PDS-100 crusher. Solid-state media cannot be degaussed at all, so flash needs the PDS-88 shredder or the PDS-SSD destroyer.
Are you really an authorised Proton partner?
Yes. Quridge Global Solutions Pvt Ltd is the authorised Indian partner of Proton Data Security, USA. You get genuine equipment, the factory warranty, genuine spares and documentation that Indian tender and audit teams accept.
Do you supply and install outside Bengaluru?
Yes. We supply across India — all major cities and tier-2 locations. Installation, commissioning and operator training are included, and we hold AMC and on-site service capability nationwide.
What does a degausser cost in India?
We do not publish figures, because a degausser's cost in India depends on the model, the field strength and listing you need, the cycle time, the power configuration, accessories, warranty term, AMC, freight and installation to your city. Two machines from the same family can differ substantially. Tell us your drive volume, media types and city and you will have a written quotation within one business day — see what drives the cost.
