Erase-O-Matic 1 Degausser for Computer Media - No Electricity Required

The Erase-O-Matic 1 Degausser for Computer Tape Media is a new, patented degausser engineered to erase various forms of high-Oersted tape cartridges, including LTO-1, LTO-2, 4MM & 8MM, digital video, Mini DV, Zip and Jazz disks, AIT & S-AIT, and more.

This new, low-cost degausser enables individuals and small organizations with small tape libraries to erase and recycle their computer tape.* Green oriented companies appreciate that no electricity is required to operate this machine and it doesn't overheat from continuous use.

Powerful and quiet enough to use at your office desk, this unit utilizes the latest permanent magnet technology instead of electricity, making this unit fully portable and deployable for use in mobile degaussing applications. Inside the unit, there is a 2 1/2 pound core of rectangular-shaped structural steel that surrounds the permanent magnets. This steel core concentrates the magnetic field around your media, providing top-quality erasure.

Customer Testimonials

"It did exactly what I wanted it to do, and WAY better than my old hand-held machine...that one could only be run for a minute and then needed to be shut off for 30 minutes....totally a waste of my time. This one, I could do all the tape erasures I needed to within a 15 minute time span - great!"

"Amazing product. We used to use the hand held degaussers that would only last for about a minute before they burst into smoke. This product can be used continuously and without electricity which was huge for us as we practice "green" methods whenever possible. I've also noticed less digitization than before. I have recommended this product to our other sites and would recommend to anyone."

""Very pleased. I have looked (at) and owned several other types, which most small business cannot afford, required electricity and were very bulky and heavy. I found this one to be the best. Small portable, easy to use. Works first time every time !!!"

"I bought the Erase-O-Matic 1 Digital video Tape Degausser and just used it for the first time. As a film teacher that uses many, many, Mini-DV tapes, I wanted to be able to erase old DV & HD footage and reuse the tapes. One main reason is that once HD footage is recorded on a Mini DV, it will have problems being used in a DV camera, and the playback will be restricted whenever there is a pause in recording. I was very skeptical when buying this unit, I really did not think it would work. Man, was I wrong! Wow, I took a Mini-DV that had been used and abused with layers of video on it and pushed it through the Erase-O-Matic. I took the tape out, put it in the camera and it was blank! I tried it with HD footage, and bam! Works like a charm! It is very refreshing to buy something that really works and stands up to the claims of the company... Thank you, Data Devices!"

Simple and Quiet Two-Pass Operation
Slide your tape cartridge through the slot opening of the 5400 Gauss magnetic field of the degausser. Flip the cartridge over and slide it through again. Your tape is erased.

Mobile and Deployable: No External Power Required
This degausser uses permanent magnets and is thus a stand-alone unit that does not require electrical power. It is fully deployable for on-site and emergency degaussing.

In order to maximize portability, we recommend purchasing this unit with this water-tight, rugged, companion portable transportation carrying case.

Continuous Duty Erasure
Most degaussers require electrical power for erasure. Thus, many degaussers overheat and need time to cool down. As this unit employs permanent magnets and does not overheat, it has a continuous duty cycle and can be run 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
