Shredders need oil regularly!     Oil lubricates the cutting blades, extending their life and helping them run smoother and quieter. Oil should be applied directly to the material you are shredding once a month for regular usage and every 4 hours for heavy usage and every time the bag is changed.    ... See oil prices here

All organizations have material that is confidential and must be disposed of securely.  Drafts, correspondence, financial statements, reports, photocopies, faxes,  computer printouts, employee files and client files can easily removed from office waste containers. 

Shredding discarded documents is the standard business practice in today's office. Shredded material can also be recycled or used for packaging of fragile products.   

Document shredders are not just for paper anymore! Many models are capable of shredding CD's, floppy disks, microfiche, ID cards and credit cards.

Strip Cut Shredder

• Feature more sheets per pass (faster shredding)

• Less expensive than cross cutting and less expensive to repair

• Less maintenance (oiling)

• Cutter heads less sensitive to metal objects, such as paper clips and  staples.

Critical Considerations When Selecting a Shredder
The amount of paper to be shredded (boxes or reams) per day or week determines the shredder capacity you need. (Capacity refers to the number of sheets to be shredded in one pass). Do not underestimate your capacity needs, and don't forget to allow for growth. Many companies fail to do this.

Other Considerations

• Entry Width: Paper size 8 ½ x 11 ", 16" computer paper, and/or other sizes

• Speed: Feet per minute

• Motor: Horsepower (often machines are geared slower for more sheets per pass, but the feet per minute is slower resulting is a more time-consuming operation)

• Electronic Features: Automatic start/stop, container full indicator, auto reverse during paper jams
