MBM Destroyit 4005 Strip-Cut Paper Shredder - DSH0500

All MBM shredders are amply equipped with safety features and this one is no different. A protective safety shield blocks fingers and other objects from entering the blades. Start and stop is controlled by a photo cell sensor that detects paper in the feed and begins shredding when needed. One simple button operates stand-by, stop and reverse functions. Backlit symbols display operational status. Power is automatically cut from the motor if the shred bag is full, the cabinet door is open, or there is a paper jam. Jams are easily cleared as the auto reverse slides overfed paper back out to the user. To conserve energy, the machine powers down to a "sleep" mode after one hour of inactivity.

A powerful single phase motor drives the hardened steel blades and is rated for continuous operation. Double protection from overheating helps prolong the life of your shredder. It also boasts of a sturdy chain drive system and durable gears housed in a dustproof chamber to stave off corrosion. An automatic oil injection system keep everything running smoothly.

A wide 16 inch opening accepts a whopping 50-52 sheets at once and also takes in staples, paperclips, credit cards and CDs. A electronic display shows the exact sheet capacity level during use. Documents are sliced as fast as 40 feet per minute, one of the fastest rates offered by MBM Destroyit.

The strips are collected in a sizable 59 gallon shred bag. The bag is mounted on a pull-out frame for easy removal and replacement. A high-quality wooden cabinet contains the shreds and acts as a noise reducer by absorbing sound from the motor, resulting in a quieter shredding experience.

Only a level 2 security rating is achieved by the ¼ inch strips. For generic office shredding, this safely rips up most documents. If you need safer document destruction, this model is also available in higher security versions.

This shredder weighs a hefty 343 pounds. It sits on casters, making it easily moved from one location to another and we don't foresee size to be a big issue for most users. If this is larger than you're looking for, check out some of MBM's smaller centralized or deskside shredders.
