Question

Sales,

I am trying to source a heavy duty paper shredder, 16 inch throat, must be able to shred DVD, CDs, have continuous duty cycle.  Does the Powershred C-420 Strip-Cut Paper Shredder meet these guidelines.  I need to have a copy of the spec in hand – thanks

Al T.

Answer

The Fellowes Powershred C-420 is certainly a good machine. It will meet most of your needs. Unfortunately, it has a feed opening only 12 inches wide. We recommend the HSM 411.2 Departmental Paper Shredder. It has a 16-inch wide feed opening. This is an amazing machine. We’ve used the cross HSM 411.2 Departmental Paper Shreddercut model for the last six years now and it performs just as well as it did on day one.

The model 411.2 quickly shreds old invoices, receipts, CDs, and other sensitive corporate information (the 411.2 is available in both cross cut and strip cut versions). The machine’s steel cutting blades are capable of shredding through standard-sized paper clips, staples, credit cards, PVC ID cards, DVDs, CD-ROMs and more. This shredder is mounted on casters for easy mobility. It has a large 41-gallon waste container. That means few and far-between trips to the dumpster.
