Heavy Duty

The fastest and most robust shredders that are used in the general office situation. They are capable of very high throughputs and often of continuous use. As a result many incorporate safety and other features to protect the shredder mechanism, such as motor thermal protection and automatic oiling, and also the operator. They are often sited in a central location serving the shredding needs of a whole department or even a company. Computer room shredders usually have to be of heavy duty design because of the width of the material they have to handle (computer printout) and also the sheer volume throughput they have to handle. Many models have accessories such as racks and shelves to permit shredding of two or more stacks of continuous computer print out.
