Choosing the high-security Fellowes shredder for you
Fellowes shredders are ideal for a variety of data destruction. With strip-cut shredders, cross-cut shredders, and high-security shredders to choose from, you’ll find the level of data destruction you need to protect sensitive information. Strip-cut produces Level 2/P-2 shred residue, and is often used for shredding very basic information. For more secure shredding, you’ll want to choose a Level 3/P-4 cross-cut shredder. This level of shredding is ideal for destroying general information such as names, dates of birth, addresses, and bank statements.
Organizations with a higher security need will want to go for the best data destruction equipment on the market. High-security shredders, also known as Level 6/P-7 shredders, are used by the NSA, CIA, and Department of Defense to destroy classified and top-secret information. Higher security shredders are ideal for organizations looking to exceed the lawful minimum requirements expected of them and protect their client’s sensitive information.

FAQs
Where are Fellowes shredders made?
Fellowes is an international company, but they are based in the U.S. With five plants located across the U.S., in states like California, Georgia, Illinois, Maryland, and Texas, you know that you are in safe hands with a Fellowes shredder.
How do you oil a Fellowes shredder?
Oiling your shredder is a straightforward process. Some shredders come with an automatic oiler. However, if your shredder has no oiler, you will want to put a little bit of shredder oil on a sheet of paper, and send it partially through the machine. Then, put the shredder in reverse to ensure the lubricant is well distributed on the internal shred blades. This can prevent your cutter from locking up.
What type of oil do you use with a Fellowes shredder?
Shredder oil has been specifically designed for use with shredders, preventing paper from clogging the machine over time. Many shredder oils are vegetable-based, and experts recommend using compatible oil to avoid damaging your machine.
