Proton T-1.5 overview

The Proton T-1.5 is a drawer-style degausser with a 1.5 Tesla effective field, capable of sanitising the highest-coercivity media available today. Its fully automatic cycle takes less than five seconds, making it the fastest electromagnetic pulse degausser in the Proton range.

The Proton T-1.5 Hard Drive Degausser is a drawer style degausser that permanently erases data from hard drives and various tape media. It has an effective magnetic field of 1.5 Tesla, making it capable of sanitizing the highest coercivity media available today and it will continue to keep pace as hard drive technology advances.

The T-1.5 is fully automatic and has a cycle time of less than 5 seconds, making it the fastest electromagnetic pulse degausser available. Operation is simple, just insert media into the drawer and push the start button. Internal software acts as a built in safeguard, requiring that all parameters (capacitor voltage, switch, etc.) are present prior to the “Go” LED display. If any problem exists that will compromise degaussing, the “Go” LED will not display. This software guarantees that each degauss cycle delivers sufficient strength and peak performance. The T-1.5 is extremely compact and portable which allows it to fit easily into existing operations and be transported when necessary.

Who it is for

Proton T-1.5 is the right machine when you are handling itad & sanitisation service companies, data centres, banks & nbfcs, or similar environments.

Proton T-1.5 in India — supply, service and compliance

  • Best value per drive for Indian ITAD and e-waste volumes — the cycle time is what drives your cost per sanitised drive.
  • The software interlock is a strong argument in Indian bank and government tenders where auditors ask for cycle-level assurance.
  • Supplied 230 V / 50 Hz with an optional wheeled deployment case for on-site work.

Options and accessories

A rugged wheeled deployment case is available for both drawer models, allowing the machine to be transported and used on site. Extended warranty and scheduled verification visits can be added through a Quridge AMC.

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.

Why is the T-1.5 faster than the T-1.2?
Both use the drawer format, but the T-1.5 has a 1.5 Tesla coil and a redesigned discharge cycle that completes in under 5 seconds — ideal where labour cost per drive matters.
What does the “Go” LED safeguard mean?
The unit checks capacitor voltage, switch state and other parameters before showing the “Go” indicator. If a parameter is out of range the cycle is not approved, so a weak pulse can never be recorded as a successful destruction.
Can the T-1.5 handle SSDs?
No magnetic field can affect flash. Pair the T-1.5 with a PDS-88 shredder or PDS-SSD destroyer for a complete magnetic and solid-state destruction cell.
