German-made, quality engineering and proven reliability, this is what you can expect from the HSM Securio B24C Level 3/P-4 cross cut shredder. This well made shredder is sure to provide years of service in your workplace. The induction-hardened solid steel cutting rollers are sturdy enough to tackle paper, staples, paper clips, credit cards, and even CDs/DVDs. Feed your documents into the 9.5" throat opening. From there, your sheets are converted into 3/16" x 1 1/8" particles. Accepting between 17-19 sheets at a time, the HSM Securio B24C creates a total of 447 confetti-cut pieces per page. It is recommended that cross cut shredders be oiled on a fairly regular basis to keep the unit in top condition. The HSM Securio B24C can be paired with an optional external oiler for this purpose. When this unit becomes overloaded, the automatic reverse function (JamStop) detects the problem and works to force the jammed paper out the opening. Users can monitor shred levels with the inspection window. The 9 gallon waste bin is easy to remove and replace. The multifunctional control element features icons that display operational status. If there is a paper jam or if the bin is full/ajar, these icons will illuminate to alert the user. Energy-efficient thanks to the Energy Management Control System, power consumption is reduced by up to 90% when the unit is in stand-by mode. The Whisper Shred technology promotes quieter operation by reducing shredding sounds to a near whisper. The folding safety element provides high user safety and prevents unintentional intake. The 45 lb. business shredder might seem difficult to relocate. On the contrary, the HSM Securio is mounted on sturdy casters that provide easy mobility throughout your office space
