Nowadays, many businesses rely on the use
of a centralized office shredder for their heavy duty shredding needs.
One great machine for this purpose is the MBM Destroyit 2604 Strip Cut
Paper Shredder. Designed for the low security needs of any office, this
shredder can handle large amounts of material all day long, thanks to
its continuous run motor. The many safety and automatic features make
it easy and convenient to use. A high quality wooden cabinet helps
reduce noise and is mounted on casters for easy mobility. Here is a
detailed look at the 2604.
Strengths:
As
with many MBM shredders, this one is equipped with a Safety Protection
System. A clear safety shield protects the photo cell controlled feed
opening. This allows the machine to sense paper in the opening and
begin shredding while also keeping fingers and other objects from
getting caught in the blades. An "Easy Switch" function allows all
three modes to be controlled by one button. The back-lit icons indicate
operational status, whether stand-by, stop, or reverse. Stop is
triggered if the shred bin is full, the cabinet is open, or there is a
paper jam. If a paper jam occurs, the automatic reverse feeds the paper
back to the user, helping to unclog the blades. Finally, an Energy
Saving Mode causes the device to power down to a "sleep" mode after one
hour of inactivity in an effort to conserve electricity.
The
powerful single phase motor is double protected from overheating. It
also is rated for continuous use, allowing you to shred constantly
without the downtime needed by many smaller machines. The durable gears
have a sturdy twin drive system that is fully enclosed in a dustproof
casing to protect against corrosion. These features as well as an
automatic oil injection keep your shredder in top working condition.
The
hardened steel blades are backed by a lifetime warranty and can shred
staples, paper clips, credit cards and CDs. They can take up to 30
sheets at once and slice them up to 18 feet per minute. An Electronic
Capacity Control displays the exact sheet capacity levels during the
shredding process to help prevent paper jams.
Weaknesses:
This
shredder is only rated a level 2 security. The 3/16 inch strips are
safe enough for most general office shredding needs. If you have higher
risk documents to dispose of, this same model is available in three
different higher security levels.
It only shreds at a rate
of 18 feet per minute. While this is an excellent rate for 30 sheets at
once, office with higher volume shredding needs may want to upgrade to
a model with a larger capacity.
Overall, the MBM Destroyit
2604 is a great system for a centralized office shredder. The Safety
Protection System ensures safe and convenient use. A powerful motor
allows continuous all day operation. The hardened steel blades are
guaranteed for life and easily destroy credit cards and CDs. The 2604
is an excellent choice for your next low security office shredder.
