DB-HM80SSD-E |
Oil Leak Prevention Optimized for Data Center EnvironmentsDB-HM80SSD-E (CrushBox Series) Designed for high-cleanliness and
24/7/365 mission-critical operation environments such as data centers, the DB-HM80SSD-E incorporates three independent oil leak prevention measures in its hydraulic system.
These features minimize the risk of oil dispersion around equipment or contamination in rack areas, ensuring safe and reliable long-term operation as a high-security physical destruction
device.1. Metal Piping System for Hydraulic Lines All hydraulic lines use metal piping instead of conventional resin hoses — the optimal choice for data center temperature and pressure
conditions.
→ Dramatically lowers the probability of oil leaks during extended operation2. Secondary Containment Sheet for Leak PreventionIn the unlikely event of minor internal leakage from the hydraulic unit, a dedicated oil absorption sheet installed inside the enclosure instantly absorbs and retains the oil, preventing any external leakage.
→ Fully compliant with data center cleanliness and environmental maintenance standards3. Openable Inspection Window System An tool-free, openable inspection window is installed on the side of the enclosure, allowing quick visual checks of the hydraulic unit’s internal condition at any time.
→ Reduces operational workload for maintenance teams and enables early intervention to ensure continuous stable operation Summary: “Zero Oil Leak Defense” Design Optimized for Data Centers

Proposal: Global IT Asset Circular Business Model
~Data
Center Specialized "Self-Service Physical Destruction + Resource Recovery"~Nittoh Zoki / Nittoh Horukamu (providing the CrushBox series), Company T
(global ITAD network, collection/refining/certified maintenance), and Company S (overall coordination/resource trading) collaborate to build and propose a circular economy model. This enables
data center (DC) operators to perform high-security physical destruction in-house, converting disposal costs into revenue from resource sales.With the launch of the new product "DB-HM80SSD" in
spring 2026, we will accelerate full-scale entry into the DC market. Long-term warranty, maintenance, and final disposal collection maximize reliability, significantly strengthening your data
erasure and asset management processes.Overall Business Model Structure
Your DC operator purchases and installs the CrushBox in-house, completing data erasure and physical destruction within your own facility. Company T handles residue collection, refining, and
certified on-site maintenance. Nittoh Horukamu leads equipment supply and remote maintenance. Company S manages overall coordination and resource trading flows.Upstream (Equipment Introduction
& Sales):
Nittoh Horukamu sells the DC-specialized new product "DB-HM80SSD" (shipment starting spring 2026) via purchase contract. Installed
permanently in dedicated DC space, it achieves ultra-fine destruction (2mm or smaller pulverization, etc.) compliant with NSA/NIST standards. Nittoh Horukamu provides initial installation
training.Key Features of the New Product DB-HM80SSD (Optimized for Data Center Use)
Warranty & Maintenance Specifications: 5-year warranty. Oil changes performed on a unit basis (designed for lifetime/ultimate disposal at 7 years). Final
waste products (main unit & replacement units) are collected by Company T and properly processed via resource recovery route.Midstream (Operation & Maintenance):
Your staff perform destruction in-house. Nittoh Horukamu leads remote maintenance (diagnosis, troubleshooting, operation guidance). Company T, after receiving on-site maintenance training from
Nittoh Horukamu, operates as a certified provider for on-site maintenance and repairs (including oil unit exchanges). Digital issuance of destruction certificates is automated and supported.
Company S handles contract and logistics coordination. At final disposal, Company T collects the entire unit.Downstream (Resource Recovery & Re-resourceization):
Company T periodically collects destruction residues. Precious metals (gold, silver, copper, palladium, etc.) are extracted and sold at advanced refining facilities (e.g., Singapore). A portion
of sales proceeds is returned to you, offsetting disposal costs. Final waste products (after 7 years) are also collected by Company T and processed via refining route for complete
circularity.Overall Flow: Your DC → DB-HM80SSD destruction (in-house facility) → Residue collection (Company
T) → Refining & sales (Company S coordination) → Revenue return (to you).
Maintenance is globally supported by Nittoh Horukamu (remote + unit exchange guidance) + Company T (certified on-site + final disposal collection).Optimized Role Division

Degauss & Destroy
Your data is invaluable. Most organisations go through great lengths to take the utmost care in protecting the integrity and security of their business data. The substantial challenge is managing the data and IT assets that are nearing the end of their lifespans where computers, IT peripherals and storage devices eventually become outdated. Only certified physical destruction is 100% effective in securing the data integrity.
Your organisation is vulnerable when old storage media such as hard drives, USB, SSD, tapes and CDs containing critical information are not proven destroyed.
Dear valued customer,
I want to inform you that due to rising costs for raw materials, our company was faced with the need to raise the price of all products with 10%, effective May 1st, 2022.
We hope to continue our excellent relationship with our clients, and assure you our quality of service will reflect a similar increase.

DB-60PRO-E-HS
HDD&SSD Destroyer
Compact and portable SSD destroyer – Designed for facilities such as data centers that need to destroy large volumes of SSDs on-site, before they leave their secure facility.
Desktop data destruction solution. Utilizing a proprietary hydraulic power unit and patented crushing plates with arrays of 80 interlocking razor sharp hardened steel teeth, the DB60PRO-HS SSD delivers 12tons of destructive forces to the SSD media and their ceramic memory chips that are punctured, crushed, serrated and decimated on both sides in less than 10 seconds.
In a hard drive, data is read from or written to a cylindrical array of rigid platters typically rotating between 5,400 and 15,000 RPM. The read head floats on a microscopically thin boundary layer of air and never comes in contact with the platters, the consequences of which would be disastrous for the read head and the surface of the drive. Minor imperfections of the surface could cause the head to crash into the surface.
If the surface of a hard drive is damaged, abraded or warped by any means, it becomes almost impossible for data to be recovered from the surface of the magnetic media. Moreover, if all the platters in the hard drive are crushed (pancaked) together, warped and mangled, both the upper and lower surfaces of each platter will be severely disfigured, rendering data recovery virtually impossible. The read head simply cannot follow the distorted contours and scarified surface of the platters. In addition, data is so tightly packed on to the surface of the platter in modern hard drives that not even Burrowing Electron Microscope (BEM) technology is capable of recovering data from a destroyed surface.
Physical deformation involves the use of tools such as sledge hammers, drills, vices, etc., to cause extreme physical damage to a storage device in order to delay, impede, or discourage an attacker from attempting to recover data from it. In the case of magnetic disks, the effectiveness of this method depends on the amount of damage inflicted on the surface of each platter (including warping of the flat surface) to make it very difficult to do a laboratory analysis. Heavily damaged hard disks with deformed disk surfaces are beyond any reasonable hope of recovery, even to adversaries with access to sophisticated laboratory analysis facilities.
