"DiskMantler: Shaking Up Hard Drive Disassembly in 8 Seconds"

Garner has introduced the DiskMantler, a device designed to disassemble decommissioned hard drives and separate valuable internal components from the casing by vigorously shaking it for as little as 8 seconds. This aims to reduce e-waste and provide a safer alternative to traditional shredding and melting methods. The company also plans to release the DeMag, a super degausser that demagnetizes HDD disk platters and magnets, making data forensically unrecoverable. These innovations address both environmental and security concerns related to hard drive disposal.

"DiskMantler Innovates Rare-Earth Recovery with Violent Hard Drive Shaking"

Garner Products has developed the DiskMantler, a machine that uses vibration to disassemble hard drives, allowing for the recovery of valuable components such as rare-earth magnets. This innovative approach not only improves the recovery and sorting of hard drives but also has the potential to revolutionize rare-earth magnet recycling, which is currently energy-intensive and not cost-effective. Another Canadian firm, HyProMag, is also working on reusing drive magnets more directly, creating new sources that don't require extraction and aren't as globally concentrated.
