CDS-2500A Degausser

(Tape Only)

The versatile, conveyor-belt operated CDS-2500A quickly erases all magnetic tape formats up to six inches wide and up to 2400 oersted. The CDS-2500A’s dual degaussing coils let you choose from two field strengths. On low field strength, the CDS-2500A provides continuous-duty erasure of 3480/3490, VHS, diskettes and audio cassettes without overheating—at speeds of more than 90 3480/3490 tapes per minute. The high-field setting allows you to erase metal-particle tape formats up to 2400 oersted. 

CDS-2500A|(Tape Only)

Control Panel

Two field strengths. One machine.

Switchable field strength

Low field strength delivers nonstop, high-speed erasure of 3480/3490, VHS, diskettes and audio cassettes. Flip the switch to high strength to erase SDLT, LTO, 3590 and other metal-particle tapes.

Easy to use

Press the “on” switch, select your field strength, and place tapes on the conveyor belt. The CDS-2500A takes care of the rest.

Adjustable speed

Lets you choose your pace—up to 60 feet per minute.

Dual degaussing coils

Placed at a 90-degree angle, the “V” coil configuration delivers strong horizontal and vertical fields for maximum erasure.

Thermal protection

Built-in sensors monitor degaussing coil temperatures, operate the cooling fans, and turn off the conveyor belt and degaussing field if coil heat moves beyond the normal range.

Office compatible

The CDS-2500A operates off a standard 110 VAC wall outlet, but can come configured with other power connections for international operations.

Software independent

The CDS-2500A doesn’t rely on software for erasure, which means it can erase any magnetic video, audio, or data tape.

Maintain Archival Security

As technology moves to hard drive and solid-state media storage, it’s important to fully erase old media before disposal or repurposing. The CDS-2500A makes the erasure process fast, easy, and truly secure.

Power Options

The CDSS-2500A can be configured for operation in countries around the world.
