The Importance of Choosing a Continuous-Duty Shredder for Your Office

When you're trying to decide which paper shredder to get, there are numerous things you need to consider. One of the most important things is deciding whether a continuous-duty shredder is right for your needs. Depending on the amount of shredding you do, it just might be. Let's find out why....

Let's say you're in your cubicle and are shredding a large stack of paper. The shredder you're using is a small deskside shredder. Things are going smoothly for a few minutes and then the shredder shuts down. Did the shredder jam up? Is there something wrong with your shredder? Do you need to buy a new machine? No, it's nothing like that. In fact, the shredder shut down simply because its motor is too small to continually process a large amount of paper. In order to continue to work on your large stack of documents, you'll probably need to let the shredder cool off at regular intervals which is going to be time-consuming – and frustrating.

You can prevent this scenario from happening by investing in a continuous-duty shredder. This is especially important if several people are going to be using the shredder throughout the day. If you or your colleagues can't access a shredder when needed, chances are important documents are going to end up in the garbage. This can be disastrous and lead to identity theft and even lawsuits. Also, having one or more continuous-duty shredders in your office will keep people productive. They can just shred their documents and move on the next task.
