Proton 1100 Wand overview
The Proton 1100 Degaussing Wand is a handheld instrument for maximum-security media degaussing. It is the tool field teams use when the drives cannot be brought to a central machine — a bank branch, a server room in another city, or a client site under a destruction contract.
The Proton 1100 Degausser Wand is designed to provide maximum security level media degaussing for disk drives, diskpacks, drum memories and other magnetic media.
Conventional magnetic recording devices (recording heads) cannot provide the flux density required to totally erase magnetic signatures. The magnetic information remains in the media after conventional erasing techniques and reformatting procedures. Only a high-energy magnetic circuit that provides a full-cycle (+ and -) field can reliably erase this remnant magnetic information to a full security level.
A magnetic shield is provided for safe storage of the degaussing wand. Proton 1100 effectively degausses disk drives, diskpacks, drum type memories, floppies and any flat-surface magnetic memory. The Proton 1100 has been tested for Perpendicular Magnetic Disk Storage Devices and can securely erase up to and including 5000 Oersteds.

Who it is for
Proton 1100 Wand is the right machine when you are handling bank branches, it field service teams, data recovery firms, or similar environments.
Proton 1100 Wand in India — supply, service and compliance
- The most cost-effective way for a multi-branch bank, BPO or PSU to run a field destruction team across India.
- Priced to make branch-level destruction economically sensible — a full branch drive wipe costs a fraction of shipping drives to a central facility.
- Often bundled with the PDS-75 manual crusher so a single engineer can sanitise and physically destroy on site.
Options and accessories
The wand is supplied with a magnetic shield for safe storage between deployments. A carry case can be quoted for field teams moving between sites.
