Secure Disintegration Services with SEM Technology
When shredding isn’t enough, Infoshred’s SEM Model 22-Series disintegration delivers the highest level of secure destruction for sensitive records and media. Learn how our NSA-aligned process, chain-of-custody controls, and compliant particle sizes protect your data from recovery.
When standard shredding cannot meet your highest security requirements, our specialized disintegration services provide the ultimate protection for sensitive materials. Infoshred operates state-of-the-art SEM Model 22-Series disintegrators at our Connecticut facility, delivering NSA-aligned destruction capabilities for organizations across Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island.
Our plant-based disintegration technology exceeds conventional document destruction methods, reducing materials to particles small enough to meet the most stringent security standards. This advanced process ensures complete data elimination for government agencies, healthcare organizations, financial institutions, and businesses handling highly classified information.
Secure Disintegration with SEM Model 22-Series
The SEM Model 22-Series represents the pinnacle of secure destruction technology. This industrial-grade disintegrator reduces materials to microscopic particles through controlled mechanical disintegration, far beyond what traditional paper shredding can achieve.
NSA/CSS EPL-aligned disintegration for sensitive media
Our disintegration services align with NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List (EPL) standards when operated with appropriate screen configurations. This certification level meets requirements for destroying materials containing classified information, ensuring complete data sanitization for government contractors and agencies throughout New England.
Screen-dependent particle size for security requirements
Different security levels require different particle sizes. Our ITAD services team configures screen sizes based on your specific compliance requirements and risk assessment, balancing security needs with cost-effectiveness.
Media Types We Disintegrate
Our SEM disintegrator handles a comprehensive range of materials requiring secure destruction. Each media type undergoes the same rigorous chain-of-custody controls that distinguish our services from standard commercial disposal methods.
- Paper records and bound materials: Paper documents, bound reports, and hardcover materials disintegrate completely, eliminating any possibility of information recovery. This process works effectively for medical records requiring HIPAA compliance, financial documents under regulatory scrutiny, and legal materials containing privileged information.
- Optical Media (CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays): Digital storage media requires complete destruction to prevent data recovery attempts. Our disintegration process pulverizes optical media into particles too small for any reconstruction, providing security levels impossible to achieve with basic crushing or scoring methods.
- ID cards, badges, and access cards: Security badges, employee ID cards, and access control cards contain embedded data that must be completely destroyed. Our process eliminates both visible information and embedded chips or magnetic strips, ensuring no authentication credentials survive the destruction process.
Why Choose Infoshred for Disintegration
Since 1993, we have built our reputation on providing the highest levels of security for sensitive materials. Our disintegration services represent the ultimate extension of our comprehensive document destruction capabilities.
NAID AAA Certified destruction processes
Our facility maintains NAID AAA Certification for both on-site and plant-based destruction services. This certification requires annual audits of our security procedures, employee screening, and destruction processes. Every aspect of our disintegration service meets these rigorous industry standards.
Documented chain-of-custody and reporting
Comprehensive documentation tracks materials from pickup to final destruction. Our certificates of destruction provide detailed records meeting audit requirements for government agencies, healthcare organizations, and financial institutions across Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Rhode Island.
Disintegration Technology
Our SEM disintegrator (Model 22‑series) is engineered for high‑security destruction on NSA/CSS Evaluated Products Lists for paper, CDs, and key tape when operated with the correct screen. It features a 12" x 20" feed opening, solid‑steel rotors, integrated safety interlocks, and optional sound‑proofing—built for throughput and reliability in constrained footprints.
How Our Disintegration Process Works
Security begins the moment materials enter our custody. Our documented procedures ensure materials remain secure throughout the entire destruction process, with multiple verification steps preventing any security breaches.
Secure intake and custody controls
Materials arrive at our facility in sealed containers or under direct escort. Our secure logistics team maintains custody documentation from pickup through destruction completion, with video surveillance monitoring all handling areas.
Plant-based SEM disintegration and residue handling
The disintegration process occurs within our controlled facility environment. Residual particles undergo final processing to ensure complete destruction, with all byproducts handled according to environmental regulations and security protocols.
Technical Capabilities and Equipment Highlights
Our investment in advanced disintegration technology demonstrates our commitment to providing the highest security levels available in the document destruction industry.
SEM Model 22-Series specifications and throughput
The Model 22-Series processes materials efficiently while maintaining strict security standards. Throughput capabilities accommodate both large-volume destruction projects and smaller specialized requirements, with scheduling flexibility to meet urgent deadlines.
Available screen sizes and optional configurations
Multiple screen configurations allow us to match particle size requirements to specific security classifications. Our team works with compliance officers to determine appropriate settings for each destruction project, ensuring regulatory requirements are met without unnecessary costs.
