Why We Love the Destroyit 4005 Cross Cut

Jan. 18, 2012 - PRLog -- In the mood for some heavy-duty shredding? We always are, and one of our go-to shredders for a high-volume office setting is the Destroyit 4005 by MBM. We want to get the word out about this powerful shredder because it truly is in the top of its class. Destroyit is a name you can trust in the shredder industry, and the 4005 is the biggest in its line of centralized office shredders. Weighing in at 378 lbs and standing at nearly 40” tall, the level 3 cross cut 4005 is wonderfully suited for a mid-to-large sized office.

The 4005 CC will cross cut your documents, even those with staples and paperclips attached, into 3/16” x 1 ½” shred at a rate of 30 feet per minute. This shredder performs quickly and efficiently, taking up to 32 sheets at once into its extra-wide 16” feed opening. This is a remarkable feed capacity for an office shredder, and allows you to rapidly eliminate all of those documents that have been piling up. The feed opening of the 4005 Cross Cut allows for the destruction of paper that is larger than standard 8 ½” x 11” sheets, and will also accept CDs, DVDs, and credit cards. The powerful cutting shaft that can cut through more than just paper is so durable that MBM has given it a lifetime guarantee. With a 2 HP motor that can perform continuous duty, the 4005 has gotten top marks from us in terms of office shredder power and performance. This performance is aided by the automatic oiler, which intermittently lubricates the cutting shafts and ensures optimum cutting capability. Oiling your cross cut shredder is extremely important in extending its life, and the 4005 CC takes care of itself.

Going beyond raw cutting capabilities, we’ve found that the features of the 4005 cross cut are really what make it stand out in the sea of office shredders. The Destroyit line contains an array of features that make shredding easier and safer. The aptly-named Easy Switch is located on top of the shredder and is simultaneously a power switch and a status indicator. This color-coded button will show the user if the shredder is jammed, the bin is full, or the door is ajar so there is no question as to what went awry when the shredder shuts down. Yes, in all three of these cases the 4005 can and will automatically shut down to prevent anything bad from happening – yet another example of this innovative piece of shredding technology taking care of itself. It isn’t solely concerned for its own welfare, though, as the Destroyit 4005 includes a safety protection system to protect the user. A transparent shield in the feed opening as well as double protection against overheating make this shredder as safe as it is productive.

What we particularly appreciate about the 4005 is its ECC, or electronic capacity control. We are quite familiar with the common problem of shredder jams, and while the automatic oiler and auto-reverse function do their part to help prevent and alleviate them, nothing comes close to the ECC’s preventative capabilities. This feature will show the user in real-time just how much paper the shredder is capable of handling. When someone knows the shredder’s current sheet limit, they will be disinclined to go over that limit and will prevent a paper jam before it even has the chance to happen! If fewer paper jams sounds as heartwarming to you as it does to us, check out the 4005 cross cut at http://www.whitakerbrothers.com/destroyit-4005-cross-cut-....
