At the top of MBM Destroyit's line of high
capacity shredders sits the 5009 Cross Cut. High quality steel blades
are able to quickly dispose of large quantities of multiple media
types. An extra large feed table and conveyor belt combined with a
massive shred bin make this the big daddy of MBM shredders. Let's take
a closer look at this behemoth.
Strengths:
Though giant, the 5009 is still easy to use.
A simple control panel utilizes push buttons for forward, stop, and
reverse functions. It also has a safety lock and key, a main
switch, and an emergency stop button. An auto reverse and re-feed takes
the effort out of clearing a paper jam. Illuminated icons display
the machine's current status.
This shredder
boasts of two powerful three-phase motors rated for continuous
operation. They have a thermal switch to protect against
overheating. The durable gears are housed in a dustproof casing
to prevent corrosion. The motor offers two different speed
modes. "Power" is best used for mass feeding of jumbo amounts of
paper. "Speed" offers quick destruction of smaller
quantities.
The hardened steel blades are backed by a
lifetime warranty. Soft metal resistant surfaces allow the
demolition of not only staples, paperclips, and credit cards but also
CDs, VHS tapes, hardbound documents, and three-ring binders. No
matter what form your confidential information is in, the 5009 can
probably destroy it. A centralized oiler offers convenient
lubricating of the shredder heads to keep them working smoothly.
The
massive blades can take in over 600 pages at once into the 20
inch feed. Depending on which speed mode you choose, things
are eaten as fast as 24-46 feet per minute. Small particles only 11/32
by 1-1/2 to 3 inches in size remain and offer a level 2 security
rating. A massive 79 gallon waste compartment is easily accessed
by a door in the back of the machine. A mobile shred cart with a bag
mounting frame offers easy replacement of the shred bag. When the
cart is full or the cabinet door is open, the machine stops
shredding until the issue is resolved.
Weaknesses
This machine is colossal, weighing in at 3080
pounds. Heavy duty casters aid in the mobility of the device but
this is one machine you might not want to move once it's in place.
Even though this is a cross cutting device, it still only
offers a level 2 security. Our guess is those looking into
this machine are interested more in capacity than security. Even
so, MBM does offer higher security high capacity machines but they
are smaller than this model.
For a high capacity
shredder, it doesn't get much better than this. The Destroyit 5009
offers efficient disposal of multiple media types by high powered steel
blades. A one year warranty guarantees the reliability of this device
and offers peace of mind that you're getting a high quality device.
We would definitely recommend the 5009 High Capacity Cross Cut Shredder
as an excellent choice for your industry's next high volume shredder.
