With a 100% solid steel cutting cylinder and German-made quality materials, the HSM Securio P36i is a reliable and long-lasting shredder. The continuous duty motor is powerful enough to handle high capacities and continual loads without fail. Accepting up to 20 sheets at a time, the Securio P36i breaks down paper into 1/16" x 9/16" level 4/P-5 particles. Paper is loaded into the 13" wide feed opening. For each sheet destroyed, 2,116 micro-cut particles are created. Have more than just paper to shred? Forget the tedious task of removing staples and paper clips from documents. The HSM Securio P36i's hardened steel cutting rollers handle these accessory materials with ease. CDs, DVDs, and credit cards can be fed through an independent slot. Paper residue collects in the approximately 38 gallon shred bag, while plastic residue falls into a separate container. The reusable shred bag is easy to remove thanks to the convenient pull-out frame. Operators can monitor shred levels through the handy inspection window located on the front of the unit. The exceptional shredding capabilities this shredder offers mirrors the impressive features. The comprehensive safety system guarantees a high level of user safety with the folding element and button lock. For decreased noise levels, the Securio P36i features Whisper Shred technology. With this technology, operational sounds are reduced to a near whisper. The Energy Management Control System cuts power consumption by up to 90% when this shredder is in stand-by mode. Attempting to shred more than the appropriate amount of sheets per pass? Get ready for a paper jam. Luckily, JamStop Anti-Jam technology works to fight these jams and restore smooth operation quickly. A multifunctional operation button controls the unit and alerts the user to shredder status.
