Fast and powerful, yet compact and quiet, the Datastroyer 1015 Cross Cut shredder has a German engineered, continuous duty motor plus hardened solid steel cutting rollers that are ready to handle the demands of the busy workplace. This TAA compliant shredder meets Level 3/P-4 security requirements with a shred size of 3/16″ x 1-1/8″. The 1015 can shred up to 18 sheets of paper at one time, plus staples, paper clips, credit cards, CDs and DVDs. Automatic start / stop means shredding begins as soon as paper is inserted in the generous 11.8″ throat. Overload protection monitors the feed and helps prevent paper jams. A built in safety element protects the user by shutting off the shredder is any pressure is applied. The Datastroyer 1015 is also equipped with an ample 21 gallon waste container with a separate collection bag for easier recycling.
