At the top of MBM's line of centralized
office shredders sits the 4005. This cross cut version offers a robust,
heavy duty machine to meet the medium security needs of medium to
larger offices. With blades backed by a lifetime warranty, the powerful
motor quickly puts through paper and other media. Automatic features
provide easy use. Here is a closer look at the Destroyit 4005 Cross Cut
shredder.
Strengths:
A
wide opening is guarded by a safety shield, preventing fingers from
accidentally entering the blades. As paper is inserted, a photo cell
sensor turns on the machine as soon as needed. A single multifunction
switch is easily operated and controls stand-by, stop, and reverse
functions. Backlit icons show the device's status. The machine stops
automatically if the cabinet door is open, the shred bag is full, or
there is a jam. Paper jams also trigger the auto reverse, which slides
the overfed items back out to the user. If the shredder sits idle for
an hour, an Energy Save Mode powers it down to "sleep" to save
electricity.
The powerful single phase motor is rated for
continuous run and double protected from overheating. Long-lasting
gears are housed in a dustproof casing to prevent corrosion. An
automatic oil injection system keeps the sturdy chain drive running
smoothly. All these work to keep your shredder top working order.
The
wide 16 inch opening accepts as many as 32 sheets at once and doesn't
turn away staples, paperclips, credit cards or CDs. An Electronic
Capacity Control aids in the prevention of jams by showing exact sheet
capacity levels during use. The hardened steel cutting shafts tear
through documents at a rapid 30 feet per minute. Tiny particles only
3/16 inch by 1-1/2 inches are left and provide a level 3 security
rating to keep sensitive material safe.
Everything is housed
in a high quality wooden cabinet. The wood is nice because it acts as a
sponge and soaks up sound waves, giving you a quieter office. Inside is
a pull-out bag frame mounted on rollers where the massive 59 gallon
shred bag hangs, offering easy removal and replacement.
Weaknesses
The
cross cutting mechanism only offers a level 3 security rating. This is
enough to keep personal information safe as well as general office
documents. Businesses with classified material to dispose of would
benefit from this same model in a higher security version.
Weighing
a considerable 378 pounds, this is a heavy machine. But it sits on
casters and is generally not a problem in most offices. If this is more
shredder than you need, you might be prefer a smaller centralized or
deskside device.
Overall, the MBM Destroyit 4005 is well
suited for the shredding needs of any medium to large office. A
warranty gives you peace of mind that this is a sound purchase. Use is
easy and convenient with all the automated features built-in. The
confetti created keeps confidential information safe. We would
recommend the 4005 Cross Cut as an excellent choice for your next
central office machine.
