Review of the Destroyit 4014 High Security Paper Shredder!

May 14, 2012 - PRLog -- For reliable and safe high security shredding, look no further than the Destroyit 4014/2 SMC paper shredder.  Flexible and accommodating, the Destroyit 4014 offers an extra wide, 16” feed opening, perfect for a multiplicity of paper sizes.  German-made, hardened steel cutting shafts tear apart your paper, but cannot handle metals or plastics.  Failure to refrain from shredding paper clips or CDs will result in a broken shredder head and hefty service charge.  Although extremely durable, MBM offers a 1 year warranty on this high security cutting head.  The recommended sheet capacity is about 16 sheets per pass.  Keep in mind however that sheet capacity depends highly upon the grain, size, quality and paper weight, as well as power supply.  What happens if you do not follow the recommended sheet capacity and end up jamming your shredder?  The Destroyit 4014 will detect a paper jam and instantly switch into reverse mode until the jam is repaired.  You can easily avoid paper jams with the help of the ECC, Electronic Capacity Control.  The ECC indicator helps limit and prevent jams by indicating sheet capacity levels during operation.  Colored lights dictate appropriate and inappropriate sheet levels during the shredding process.  If you adhere to these lights, then you should never have a paper jam or other shredder malfunction.  To see how the ECC works, watch the video of the Destroyit 4014 at http://www.whitakerbrothers.com/destroyit-4014-2-smc-high....  

NSA evaluated to meet or exceed NSA/CSS Specification 02-01 (Level 6) for High Security Crosscut Shredding, the Destroyit 4014/2 SMC produces 1/32” x 3/16”, near impossible to reconstruct pieces.  These pieces fall into a 59 gallon, convenient shred bin.  This bin is located in the high quality wooden cabinet and makes for easy waste disposal.

User-friendly operation is assured.  Start feeding your paper and the Destroyit 4014 will automatically begin shredding.  The machine will detect the last sheet and immediately cease operation.  The SPS, Safety Protection System, ensures maximum user safety.  An electronically controlled, transparent safety shield covers the feed opening to protect the user against potential debris.  This shield also prevents the user from getting any fingers or clothing caught by the cutting shafts.  If the shield opens during operation, the Destroyit 4014 will instantly cut off.  After closing the shield, simply press a button to resume shredding.  The “Easy Switch” control acts as an emergency switch thanks to the power off function.  This multifunctional control button also offers back-lit icons to display operational status. These icons illuminate when the cabinet door is ajar, safety shield is open, and shred bin is full.  Double protection against overheating will help lessen the chance of the 4014 burning out.  At the end of the work day, you are most likely ready to get home.  So what if you accidently forget to turn off the paper shredder?  MBM created the perfect solution.  After an hour of inactivity, the “ESM” or Energy Saving Mode kicks in and automatically shuts off your shredder.

With 2 1/8 horsepower, the Destroyit 4014/2 SMC is incredibly powerful.  Built to last for years on end, the single phase motor is rated for continuous (and quiet) operation.  You’ll never have to worry about office disturbance again as the 4014 guarantees near silent working noise.  Weighing 390 lbs, the Destroyit 4014 is a monster of a machine, with 39 3/4"H x 25 1/4"W x 23 1/4"D dimensions.  Despite its overwhelming size, the Destroyit 4014 is quite easy to transport and relocate.  Sturdy swivel casters make for great mobility around the office or company.  These casters are not weak or fragile; Rather, they are some of the strongest casters we’ve seen and are almost impossible to break.  The automatic oiling system is quite possibly the most popular feature of the Destroyit 4014.  Positioned on the side of the machine, a tube connects inside of the shredder that sends a constant flow of oil to lubricate the cutting head during operation.  The auto oiler infinitely decreases maintenance time and comes fully equipped.  The Destroyit 4014 SMC paper shredder is a powerful, user-friendly machine, proving unparalleled for its strength and superiority.
