disintegrators
Things that atomize
Disintegrators are devices or forces that break things apart into fragments or constituent elements.
In science fiction, a disintegrator is a weapon that reduces targets to atoms or dust: The alien aimed his disintegrator ray.
More prosaically, industrial disintegrators are machines that shred or pulverize materials.
A person who causes organizations or systems to fall apart might also be called a disintegrator.
