Tape Hardware

Metrum supplies a complete range of tape hardware that is approved for use on sensitive material for the cleaning, evaluation and erasure of magnetic media. Split into two generic groups, Degaussers and Cleaner / Evaluators, this equipment is designed to increase the life of media and reduce the possibility of losing irreplaceable data.

Cleaners / Evaluators

Degaussers

Metrum supplies a wide range of Degaussers designed to provide a cost effective solution for the erasure of a variety of analogue, video and digital data magnetic media formats.  From simple hand held units suitable for low volume usage through to high energy units capable of erasing magnetic media either oxide or metal based, up to 1,700 Oersteds, all units remove all traces of previously recorded data allowing media to be used again.  In addition, several units in the Company's range have been approved for the secure erasure and destruction of information and data stored on magnetic media up to high security levels by the UK Government and the US Department of Defence, in addition to meeting the requirements of the Security Equipment Assessment Panel.

Features:

  • All media formats including Reel to Reel, VHS, 3480 / 3490 cassettes, DLT and LTO

  • Approved to declassify media

  • Erasure to excess -90dB

  • Erase media from 350 to 1,700 Oersteds

  • Throughput of up to 3,000 cassettes per hour

  • Portable and Lightweight units through to Bulk Conveyor Belt Units

  • Full Service / Calibration Facilities

Cleaners / Evaluators

Metrum offers a complete range of equipment for the cleaning and certification of media from reel to reel through VHS and DCRSi to DLT and LTO formats.  These cleaners / evaluators identify imperfections in the media, reducing the possibility of losing irreplaceable data, and will also retension the tape which is recommended for items that have been stored for long periods.  As media drives tend to be inaccessible for the operator to clean, the necessity to ensure that the tape surface is clean is essential, as this reduces the possibility of the tape drive becoming contaminated, and hence reducing the wear on the recording and replay heads.

Features:

  • Clean and burnish tape surface using both tissue and sapphire blade

  • Minimises head wear reducing dropouts

  • Verifies the tape surface

  • Retensions media

  • Flangeless guiding tape path

  • Optically inspects the complete tape surface for edge damage and tape deformities
