With the development of paper shredder technology, paper shredders have also derived various types for different use objects and use environments: hand shredders, desktop shredders, small personal/household shredders, Large office shredders, etc.
Most shredders are designed to handle paper, usually sheets or strips. If you plan to shred your computer's prints, it's best to choose a model with a wider entry so that the paper can go directly into the machine for processing. There are also shredders that use a paper hopper so that they can handle crumpled paper. Super's shredders can handle a lot more. Credit cards, video tapes, or floppy disks can all be shredded by these machines.
So how to choose a suitable shredder for you, you need to consider the four major characteristics of the shredder required by enterprises and institutions: shredding confidentiality level, shredder capacity, shredder Shredding effect, scrap bin capacity, and shredding efficiency.
First, the shredding capacity of the shredder
Shredding capacity refers to the thickness of the paper and the maximum number of sheets that a shredder can handle at one time, while shredding capacity refers to the throughput of the machine components. Ordinary shredders can shred 13-15 sheets at a time, while large shredders can shred 60-70 sheets at a time. Generally speaking, the better the shredding effect, the worse the shredding ability. For example, a brand shredder is rated at A4, 70g and 7-9 sheets, which means the shredder can handle 7-9 sheets of 70g thick A4 paper at a time. A4, 70 grams, 3-4 sheets can meet the needs of ordinary office daily work. If it is a large office, it is necessary to choose a shredder with a suitable format and a faster speed. Existing large shredders can usually reach 60-70 sheets at a time.
Second, the shredding effect of the shredder
The shredding effect of the shredder refers to the size of the waste paper formed by the paper that needs to be destroyed after being processed by the shredder, generally in millimeters. Particles and foams performed best, followed by chips, and slivers were less effective. For example, 2*2mm security effect can cut A4 paper into more than 1500 small pieces. According to the actual needs of different occasions, the pulverizers with different pulverizing effects can be selected. For example, in homes and small offices where confidentiality is not involved, the 4mm*50mm and 4mm*30mm formats can be used. In confidentiality, computer-printed documents must be shredded into strips of paper under 3.8 mm in accordance with the minimum standards for data destruction. For highly confidential documents, a shredder that can cut vertically and horizontally should be used, preferably a shredder that can achieve a shredding effect of 3mm*3mm and below.
The following are the standards for the level of confidentiality
Level 1 Confidentiality Requirements (Strip: 6.3-12mm)
Level 2 Confidentiality Requirements (Strip 3.9-5.8 / Granular 6-10.540-80mm)
Level 3 Confidentiality Requirements (Strip 1.9mm / Granular 3.9-6 x 25-53mm)
Level 4 Confidentiality Requirements (Granular: 1.9-2 x 15mm)
Level 5 Confidentiality Requirements (Granular: 0.78 x 11 mm)
Level VI Confidentiality Requirements (Granular: 1 x 5mm)
Third, the speed of shredding
The shredding speed of a shredder, that is, the processing capacity of the shredder, is usually measured by the total length of waste paper that can be processed per minute, such as 3 meters per minute, which means the total length of paper that can be processed per minute before shredding . Of course, it's also expressed in centimeters, which is practically the same.
Fourth, the amount of shredded paper
The volume of the shredded paper box refers to the volume of the box containing the shredded waste paper. Most office shredders are usually closed cabinets on wheels that are easy to move around the office. This shredder involves choosing the volume of the shredder box. For ordinary office and home shredders, small-capacity shredding cartons can be selected according to actual needs and floor space, with sizes between 10-15 liters; 20-30 liters are the best choice for medium-sized offices, and more than 30 liters Ripped cardboard boxes can be used in large offices. Finally, some shredders have a shelf on which plastic bags can be hung. In this way, you only need to prepare plastic bags that can be hung on the shelf.
