HSM FA400.2cc Cross Cut Conveyor Belt Shredder

Often industrial shredders sacrifice security for quantity and speed. HSM's answer to this dilemma is the FA400.2cc Cross Cut Conveyor Belt Shredder. This machine is designed to continually shred massive amounts of material on a daily basis while still offering a medium level security for the safe disposal of confidential information. Here is a closer look at the details of the FA400.2cc.

Strengths:

• A master switch supplies power to this machine. The soft touch control pad runs both continuous and reverse operations. Reverse automatically kicks in if a paper jam occurs, helping to quickly unclog the blades. If the shred bag is full, the motor stops running until the container has been emptied and replaced. When not in use, the engine idles quietly without energy consumption.

• To ensure maximum efficiency, the powerful motor is equipped with a gear system and a sturdy chain drive. The engine is built to run continuously all day without needing a cool down time.

• One thing that makes this shredder so convenient is the conveyor belt system. A large workspace provides a practical storage space for stacks waiting to be shred. It offers quick and easy loading of the electronic conveyor belt. The belt ensures optimal loading and operation.

• Up to 120 sheets can slide into the blades at once through the wide 17 inch feed slot. Items can include staples, paperclips, credit cards, CDs, DVDs, and floppy disks. Materials are shred as fast as 68 feet per minute. The remnants remaining only measure ¼" by 2", small enough for a level 3 security rating. This secures not only generic office shredding but also confidential business and personal data.

• The small pieces fall into a massive 104 gallon waste container. The bin is actually a trolley, providing a simple way to dispose of the shreds. A sturdy, reusable collection bag lines the container, eliminating the need to purchase additional shred bags.

• The solid steel blades are covered by a ten year warranty. All other parts as well as labor carry one year coverage.

Weaknesses:

• This shredder only provides level 3 security. For most offices, this safely contains generic and confidential documents. Companies needing higher security should consider a smaller, supplemental machine for classified material. If you're only looking for slightly higher security, MBM makes an industrial shredder with a level 4 rating, the Destroyit 4605.

• Since this machine weighs over 900 pounds, it is very heavy to move. Even with casters on the bottom for extra portability, we suggest using caution while moving to avoid injury.

• As you would expect from an industrial shredder, this one is very large. Be sure you need this much machine; otherwise it will take up valuable floor space and consume a lot of unnecessary electricity. Smaller offices will likely be just as satisfied with a smaller high capacity device.

The HSM FA400.2cc is well-suited for the heavy duty needs of any large office or industry. Built for massive amounts of shredding every day, even the highest of volumes are quickly destroyed by this machine. We think the FA400.2cc is an excellent choice for your next industrial shredder.
