SEM VKE Green Disintegrator Systems
SEM VKE systems are the “best” in our Good, Better, Best value kit philosophy. Since inventing the world’s very first paper disintegrator, SEM has continued to perfect the technology over the last 50 years and now offers three different plug-and-play value solutions to meet any company’s or government agency’s needs.
The VKE Green systems include the choice of a disintegrator, air system, and state-of-the-art technologies and features like a briquettor to reduce waste by 90%, customized MX sound enclosure to reduce sound and dust during operation, a solid steel rotor designed to provide 70% more rotor mass than open rotor designs, and user-friendly master control panel.

All SEM VKE Green Disintegrator Kits Include the Following:
Disintegrator
Destroy paper, optical media, key tape, and more in a SEM disintegrator. SEM offers a variety of disintegrator systems that vary in size, throughput, speed, and particle size. Find the solution that works for you and meets your needs.
Try a SEM Model 1012/5 for lower volume destruction, a Model 23/5 for medium volume, or a Model 3000 or 1400 Series for high volume destruction.
Air System
SEM air systems go hand in hand with our disintegrators to ensure a smooth and seamless collection of waste after the material has been disintegrated. These air systems are made of solid steel and designed with operator ease of use in mind.
State-of-the-art filtration mitigates small particles and debris during the destruction process for ultimate environmental and operator protection.
Sound Enclosure
The SEM MX-Series provides custom made, built to order, modular sound enclosures for disintegrator systems. The series includes three models: The SEM MX-37, SEM MX-40, and SEM MX-48 to meet the needs of any room or machine.
Sound enclosures provide ultimate operator and environmental health and safety by mitigating sound and debris from the destruction process. The modular design also allows ease of access for any future movement, repair, or addition to a destruction system or solution.
NSA Evaluated Destruction
All SEM disintegrators are NSA evaluated and listed for the destruction of paper, CDs, and key tape.
By meeting the strictest destruction requirements of the U.S government, SEM disintegrators also comply with all other industry and government destruction regulations.
Briquettor
All SEM VKE Green disintegrator systems come equipped with a state-of-the-art briquetting system to reduce paper waste by up to 90%.
Due to the bulk (and mess) of disintegrated classified paper disposal, recyclers typically will not accept it. But by using a SEM briquettor, the paper particles are compacted into puck-like briquettes that are able to be recycled and are accepted by most recyclers. These machines are eco-friendly and can count towards LEED points for government facilities.
Master Control Panel
SEM VKE Green disintegrator systems come equipped with a master control panel that offers greater ease of use and control. The panel includes push start/stop buttons, an E-stop, turn key activation, hour meter, and load meter.


XL Knives
All SEM disintegrators have a solid steel rotor with no open or hollow spaces for increased durability and cutting force – a feature unique to SEM.
Additionally, all SEM disintegrator Value Kits include XL knives that are specially treated to offer 25% increased wear over traditional knives. Constructed from hardened, solid steel, SEM’s XL knives provide superior cutting power while lowering cost of ownership and minimizing downtime.
