Our Breakdown of the Intimus 45cc4 Pro Cross-Cut Shredder

Reviewing the Intimus 45cc4 Pro Cross-Cut Shredder - 230V Shredder
By: Mono Machines
 
Nov. 7, 2011 - PRLog -- After looking over the Intimus 45cc4 Pro Cross-Cut Shredder - 230V we were quite pleased with its specs. Now it may not be the cheapest on the market but we think that the few extra bucks you’ll spend will be worth it. Check out the specs below and judge for yourself. http://www.monomachines.com/shop/intimus-45cc4-pro-cross-cut-shredder-230v.html

Security
This shredder sports a level 4 security which means that no one is going to be able to read your documents. A level 3 in generally sufficient for most environments but the level 4 provides that extra level of security. An added bonus with this machine is that because the shreds are smaller, they take up less space so you’ll be able to shred more paper before you have to dump out the bin. This will save you time and money (when it comes to bags).

Shredable Material
The Intimus 45cc4 Pro Cross-Cut Shredder - 230V 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.

Bin Size
With a 11.9 gallon bin, the Intimus 45cc4 Pro Cross-Cut Shredder - 230V can hold a bit more shred than the smallest machines out there, but you’ll still be finding yourself emptying the bin fairly frequently. It is great if you need something to fit in a smaller space, but if you shred frequently we recommend jumping up in bin size.

Throat Size
We love the 10.25 inch throat on this shredder because you can put in odd sized paper and it leaves plenty of breathing room when it comes to regular sized paper. Some of the smaller machines will crumple the paper and eventually jam because the throat opening is just not large enough.

Auto Oiler
With an Optional Auto-Oiler available on this machine we highly recommend that you get it pre-installed. The machine is pre-wired to accept an oiler so all the manufacturer has to do is hook it up properly and you’ll never have to worry about messy oil again. Automatically oiling your machine takes the guess-work out of maintenance and will most likely increase the life of your machine.

Warranty
The Intimus 45cc4 Pro Cross-Cut Shredder - 230V comes with a 2 years, 20 years on cylinder. This means that you have plenty of time to test out the machine and make sure that everything is running smoothly. Just make sure to properly care for your machine and you shouldn’t have any issues.

Price
The MSRP is $1,295.00 but you can find it for much less online if you look around. Don’t let the price deter you until you do a little bit of comparison shopping first.

Manufacturer Jargon
Intimus® PRO data shredders are equipped with the EcoLogic energy management system as a standard feature. Time-responsive electronics put the shredder into “sleep mode” after it has been idle for some time, automatically reducing its power usage to zero. This eliminates the extravagant power consumption of the stand-by mode. Simply touch the i-control® center button and the operational status is instantly restored. The intimus® PRO data shredder series guards against gamming of the cutting unit and stoppage with the DLS Dynamic-Load-Sensor. DLS detects the paper volume as it is fed into the cutting unit. The result of this measurement is communicated to the user by changing colors; like traffic lights, of a light strip in the paper feed area. Tests have proved that the color change of the dynamic load sensor quickly sensitizes the user to a balanced in-feed of paper. The feed slot for CDs, plastic cards, or diskettes is designed to take only the maximum amount allowed. Intimus® PRO data shredders have an array of practical features complementing their versatile options of use. By means of 2 x 2 cut & collect, both types of shredded material are kept completely separate: cutting units and collecting bins for paper - and separate ones for compact data carriers - enabling environmentally-friendly disposal. The intimus® PRO shredder series features Silentec®, a completely new design of the bearing of the cutting head that results in maximum absorption of the variations generated during shredding. Intimus® PRO data shredders not only rank among the most silent models in their class - courtesy of Silentec® - but the sound pattern is also acoustically pleasing. Thanks to this design, an intimus® PRO data shredder never creates a noise disturbance, wherever it may be. Intimus® PRO shredders are supported by i-control®, the heart of the technical concept, that controls the shredder’s functions and provides a visual information center for maximum clarity in operator guidance. In standby mode the intimus® PRO data shredder switches on and off again automatically via a light barrier. The ergonomically designed function buttons are used to switch the shredder on and off, to clear any paperjams and to program additional functions such as access protection.

I hope that our break-down here has helped you make your decision on the Intimus 45cc4 Pro Cross-Cut Shredder - 230V. We are always available to answer more specific questions that you might have, so don’t hesitate to give us a call. As always, remember that the manufacturer stated specs do not always match up to the real-world performance that you get from the machine so keep this in mind when deciding on what to buy.
