HSM 5088cc Shredder/Baler Combo
The HSM 5088cc Shredder/Baler Combo appears to be a solid machine with very competitive specs relative to the competition. Used properly I’m not sure why you wouldn’t have this machine for quite some time. Below we break down the individual specs. http://www.buy-
Security
At a level 3 security, this cross-cut shredder gets the job done. Although there are higher levels of security, a level 3 machine provides a sufficiently small cut size to put your identity theft worries to bed. We also like the cross-cut because it takes up much less space which means that you won’t have to empty your bin as frequently as you would with a strip-cut machine. There is really no reason to jump up to a level 4 machine unless you have some ultra-sensitive documents you need destroyed.
Shredable Material
The HSM 5088cc Shredder/Baler Combo can shred CDs, Credit Cards, DVDs, Floppy Disks, Paper, Paper Clips, Staples. If you need to be able to shred something else then we recommend that you look at a larger machine and/or look for something with a little bit lower security (the higher the security the less likelihood that the machine shreds something other than paper).
Continuous Motor
This shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means that theoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would not have to shut-down to cool off. Remember that results may vary under real-world operating conditions and things such as the temperature of the room will affect the ability of this motor to stay cool and continue to shred. We give this machine 2 pats on the back for being rated continuous duty and we know that you’ll appreciate this feature in due time.
Throat Size
A 19.7 inch throat means that you can fit just about anything into this bad boy. Gone are the days of folding your oversized paper or crumpling and jamming your machine with regular-sized paper. This guy gets 2 thumbs up for the often underestimated large throat size.
Auto Oiler
This machine does not come with an auto-oiler and does not have the option to have one installed. Although automatic oilers are not necessary to maintain your machine, they do take the guess-work out of maintenance. Don’t hold it against the machine though as you can easily oil the machine yourself on regular intervals.
Price
With an MSRP of $88,148.00 this shredder is not the cheapest around but remember to NEVER pay the full amount. You can find discounts of up to 50% off if you look around on the web.

Manufacturer Jargon
The HSM 5088CC Shredder/Baler combo includes the HSM FA500.2 Industrial Shredder and the HSM K88 Industrial Baler. The HSM 5088cc has heavy duty horsepower, allowing this shredder to easily handle large volumes of shredding. Includes a Photoelectric cell for automatic control of the bale pressing process. This one also includes a manual pump oiler and 2 rolls of strapping.
So as I mentioned before, we think that the HSM 5088cc Shredder/Baler Combo is a worthy competitor and deserves a second look. If you have more specific questions I didn’t answer here, feel free to give us a call and we’d be happy to help you out. I also wanted to remind you that real-world conditions do not always produce the same results that you might expect from the listed specs. Happy Shredding!
