HSM StoreEx OMDD 130 Digital Data Media Shredder

The HSM StoreEx OMDD 130 is not a paper shredder and should not be bought as one. It is a 200 lb floor-standing machine built to destroy optical media and plastic cards at high security and in quantity: up to 2,000 CDs or DVDs per hour, one item per pass, reduced to 1/16 x 3/16 inch particles rated O-5, T-6 and E-5 under DIN 66399. It has no P rating because it does not process paper. Everything about it — the 1,920 W motor, the 13.5 gallon collection container, the 5.12 inch intake — is sized for a data destruction workflow rather than an office desk.

Key Features

• O-5 optical destruction. DIN 66399 O-5 means optical media particles of 10 square millimetres or less. This is the class specified where disc contents are regulated rather than merely private, and it is four classes above the O-1 rating of an office shredder's CD slot.
• T-6 and E-5 as well. T-6 covers magnetic media at 10 square millimetres or less; E-5 covers electronic data carriers at 30 square millimetres or less. The machine's published shreddable materials are optical discs and plastic cards, including chip cards.
• Up to 2,000 discs per hour. One item per pass, continuously fed. This is a throughput specification for batch destruction work, not an incidental feature.
• 1,920 W single-stage drive. Runs on 110-120 V at 60 Hz. Check the circuit before installing: at 1,920 W the machine draws around 16 amps, which needs a dedicated 20 amp outlet rather than a shared 15 amp office circuit.
• 13.5 gallon (51 litre) collection container. Sized for volume work. Given a disc weighs roughly 16 grams, expect to empty it well before you reach the hourly throughput figure.
• 5.12 inch intake. Wide enough for 120 mm discs and standard plastic cards and no wider, which is what keeps the security classification honest — you cannot accidentally feed something the cutting head is not rated for.

Specifications

Specifications taken from HSM's published technical data for article number 1767113. HSM does not publish warranty terms on the datasheet for this article, so no warranty figure is stated here.

What's in the Box

HSM does not publish an itemised packing list for this article. The datasheet confirms the machine and its 13.5 gallon collecting container. Consumable collection boxes for the OMDD 130 are a separate purchase.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

Buy the OMDD 130 if you have a genuine volume of optical media or plastic cards to destroy under a documented security standard: a card issuer, a records management operation, an IT asset disposal function, a hospital or a bank clearing archived disc libraries. Nothing in a normal office shredder comes close to O-5, and a service bureau charges by the item.

Do not buy it to shred paper. It has no P rating at all and paper is not among its listed materials. If you need both, you need two machines — an office shredder such as the HSM shredstar X20 or X12pro for documents, and this for media. The CD slots built into office shredders are rated O-1, which is adequate for destroying a handful of personal discs and nothing more.

Do not buy it for hard drives. HSM lists this machine's shreddable materials as credit cards and CDs/DVDs. Hard disk drives and solid-state drives are outside that specification and need a purpose-built hard drive shredder or degausser. Also budget for the space and the power: 24.41 x 19.17 x 40.2 inches on the floor, 200.84 lb, and a 1,920 W supply on a suitable circuit.
