At Whitaker Brothers, we stock top brands and a range of NSA-approved shredders to give your business the data security you deserve.
Large heavy-duty paper shredding machines
For some businesses, data destruction is a vital part of operations. Your organization may need to constantly shred paperwork to protect sensitive information. In those situations, an ordinary home shredder will not be up for the job. Instead, you’ll want to opt for a large heavy-duty paper shredder. These machines are designed with continuous operation in mind, with heat-resistant technology to prevent motor burnout and extend the life of the shredder.
These machines are heavy, weighing over 100lbs each, but offer effective shredding at all times. All of the shredders in this section have specially hardened steel cutting heads, which can take an extensive amount of wear and tear. They are long-lasting and will deliver the results you are looking for, no matter the type of shred you need.
In this section, you'll find three main types of heavy-duty shredders. The first is strip-cut heavy-duty shredders, which will cut the paper into long strips. These shredders are usually either Level 1/P-1 or Level 2/P-2 for security, and so are typically used for information you’d prefer to securely dispose of.
If you need to dispose of paperwork containing names, dates of birth, and addresses, you might find that a cross-cut heavy-duty paper shredder is better. Working in a similar way to the strip-cut shredders, they will slice the paper across to create smaller pieces. For businesses dealing with highly sensitive information such as top secret documents or national security papers, you’ll want to buy a High-Security Level 6/P-7 heavy-duty shredder instead. These are the most secure shredders on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Standard shredders are not designed with continuous use in mind. If your business requires consistent disposal of sensitive documents, you may want to consider buying a heavy-duty shredder instead. They have heat-resistant technology to prevent motor burnout and ensure your shredder lasts a long time.
As heavy-duty paper shredders can process more pieces of paper at a time, they tend to fall into a higher price bracket. Most prices start from under $2,500, ensuring that you get a quality product capable of the high volumes of paper your business needs to process.
Shredders come with different security levels, depending on the size of shred they create. Level 3/P-4 shredders tend to be used for items such as bank statements, GDPR compliance documents, and HIPAA/PII information. Anything that may contain names, dates of birth, or addresses can be disposed of securely in this level of shredder.
The cutting head on a heavy-duty shredding machine needs to be hard-wearing and resistant, as these machines typically run for a long time or continuously. Because of this, many top brands will use specially hardened steel in the cutting heads to ensure they last a long time.
In order to extend the life of your shredder and ensure that paper does not get jammed, you’ll need to oil the machine. Typically, you will want to add a little oil to the blades and then put the shredder in reverse to ensure an even spread. Choose the right shredder oil is essential, as products such as WD 40 can cause the pages to stick together and jam the machine.
