MBM Destroyit 2604 SMC Super Micro Cut Paper Shredder Review
The MBM Destroyit 2604 Super Micro Cut Paper Shredder is an excellent system for heavy duty, high security needs. A powerful single phase motor drives the hardened steel cutting shafts as they dice up paper into tiny confetti. The many safety and automatic features make use simple and convenient. A one year warranty guarantees quality craftsmanship. Here is a closer look at the 2604 SMC.
Strengths:
A photo cell controlled feed opening automatically begins shredding when it senses inserted paper. The slot is guarded by a transparent safety shield, preventing fingers and other objects from getting caught in the blades. A sole switch operates stand-by, stop, and reverse functions. The large button has back-lit icons that indicate operational status. The stop function cuts power to the motor when it senses an open cabinet, a full shred bag, or a paper jam. If a jam occurs, the automatic reverse sends the overfed paper back out to the user, helping to unclog the blades. This model is also programmed with an energy saving mode, powering down to a sleep mode after one hour of inactivity in order to conserve electricity.
The powerful single phase motor is double protected against overheating and is rated for continuous use. A robust twin drive system has a gearbox fully enclosed in a dustproof casing to prevent corrosion. These features along with an automatic oil injection system ensure reliable, optimal performance.
The hardened steel blades accept only 6-8 sheets at once but shred them at a rapid rate of 28 feet per minute. An electronic sensor displays the exact sheet capacity level during use. Full size documents are converted into tiny confetti, only 1/32 inch by 3/16 inch. These miniscule particles offer a level 6 security rating, meeting the NSA's and CSS's standards for document destruction and are DOD approved. This is safe enough for use in hospitals, banks, and other businesses needing complete obliteration of highly classified information.
The minute shreds are deposited into a 26 gallon shred bag, housed in a high quality wooden cabinet mounted on casters for easy mobility. The wood acts as a noise reducer by absorbing sound from the motor, giving you a quieter office.
Weaknesses
This shredder is not able to handle staples, paperclips, credit cards, or CDs; document fasteners must be removed before shredding. Depending on your needs, this may or may not be an issue. MBM does offer low and medium security shredders able to dispose of CDs and other items.
The 6-8 sheets it accepts at once is a limited amount. With a rate of 28 feet per minute, the small capacity might not be an issue for many offices. Those offices with high volumes of sensitive information to dispose of may want to upgrade to a high security shredder with a larger capacity.
In closing, the MBM Destroyit 2604 Super Micro Cut is an excellent high security central office shredder. The tiny confetti created by the steel blades ensures security for any highly confidential information. Safety and automated features allow for easy and convenient use. We would highly recommend the Destroyit 2604 SMC for your next high security office shredder.
