Solid steel. German-made. Precision and capability. These are just some of the many qualities the HSM Securio P36i 1/8" strip cut shredder has to offer. Creating level 2/P-2 strips, this office shredder destroys between 37-39 sheets per pass. Overall, 56 strips are produced per page destroyed. The induction-hardened steel cutting rollers are unaffected by staples, paper clips, and even tougher plastics such as CDs/DVDs and credit cards. The continuous duty motor is tough enough to power through these materials without downtime. When your shredding project is complete and after a period of idleness, the unit will enter into stand-by mode. While in stand-by, the Energy Management Control System (EMCS) works to reduce power consumption by up to 90%. When you are ready to begin shredding again, either press the power button or simply begin feeding paper. A separate slot exists for feeding CDs/DVDs and credit cards. Plastic waste falls into a small container, while paper pieces collect in the 38 gallon reusable shred bag. This waste bag is easy to remove and replace thanks to the simple pull-out system. For those who wish to monitor shred levels, a handy inspection window is located on the front of this unit. Icons on the multifunctional control button alert the user to when these waste containers are full or when the cabinet door is ajar. This button also indicates metal detection, paper jam, button lock, and more! Speaking of jams, the JamStop technology works to prevent these situations by automatically switching the shredder into reverse mode until the jam is rectified. No work environment wants the constant distraction of an obnoxious shredder. Whisper Shred technology distinguishes this possibility by lowering noise levels during operation. The 141 lb Securio P36 is easier to move with durable casters. These casters provide near effortless mobility throughout your office or department.
