Various
security level options
|
|
Daily Capacity: |
Maximum
daily capacity is defined by the following equation:
|
DIN Level: |
The security
level of the shredder. Grouped by 5 classifications
from general security (DIN 1) to top secret
(DIN 5). The table below shows a more detailed
description of current security levels.

banking information, credit card
receipts, bulk shredding. Cuts to 11.8 mm particles. |

Electronic auto-start: |
This auto-start
functions when a sheet is passed through a beam
of light. This reduces the risk of jamming and
is vital for continuous form shredding e.g.
computer paper.
|
Mechanical auto-start: |
This auto-start
functions when a sheet of paper triggers a micro-switch,
which starts the shredding process.
|
Noise level at
capacity: |
The amount
of noise produced by the shredder (in decibels)
whilst in use at full sheet capacity.
|
Reverse: |
An essential
function to permit easy removal of excess material.
|
Sheet Capacity: |
Number
of sheets that can be fed into a shredder in
one go. This value is calculated using 70gsm
paper.
|
Shred speed: |
The speed
paper is fed through the shredder, measured
in meters per minute. Shred speed is dependent
upon the amount of paper inserted and paperweight. |
Strip-cut shredder: |
Shredder
that cuts the paper into various long spaghetti-like
pieces.
|
Thermal Overload Protection: |
Protects
the shredder motor from overheating and lengthens
the product life.
|
Throat width: |
The throat
or entry width of the opening into which the
paper is fed. This determines the size of the
paper that can be used without fNEWing it.
