From PlasticsNews.com:

Buying carbon offsets costs a few dollars for each commercial shredder, out of a price tag of $400 or more. Intek is absorbing the extra costs because the marketplace won’t accept higher prices and the company believes in the long run, the initiative will boost business, Chang said.

iPad

Kobra Cyclone Shredder

Who is the “Rock” – well the Motorola Droid is built like a tank; heavy, square and very sold…this is our “rock”.

Who is the “Paper” – well the Apple iPad is thin, thinks for itself, versatile, and simple…almost like “paper”.

Who is the “Scissors” – well Kobra Cyclone Shredder shreds paper, cardboard, CDs, DVDs, floppy disks, aluminum cans and even plastic bottles into dust…this can be our scissors.  See Video.

Battle #1 – Rock vs Paper or Droid vs iPad

The Arguments:

1. iPad is smarter than the Droid
2. The iPad has wings!
3. iPad has a bigger screen than the Droid
4. Droid fits in your pocket

The Winner – iPad – Paper beats Rock again and “flies” away

Battle #2 – Paper vs Scissors or iPad vs Kobra Cyclone Shredder

The Arguments:

1. The Kobra Cyclone Shredder can shred the iPad into dust
2. When the Kobra Cyclone is hungry, it likes to snack on the iPad
3. The iPad looks little and cute but the Cyclone Shredder looks big and handsome
4. Neither fit in your pocket

The Winner – Kobra Cyclone Shredder – Scissors cut up the Paper all day

Battle #3 – Scissors vs Rock or Kobra Cyclone Shredder vs Droid

The Arguments:

1. The Kobra Cyclone Shredder will tear the Droid in to little pieces
2. Chuck Norris is afraid of the Kobra Cyclone Shredder and so is the Droid
3. My Droid has a cool robot voice, the Cyclone doesn’t

The Winner – Kobra Cyclone Shredder – not the normal Rock beats Scissors – this is a tough one but Scissors wins (maybe because of Chuck Norris)

Hi,

I have a couple of questions about the GBC GEX106 Jam Free Cross-Cut Shredder.  Could you tell me what the daily usage is and how long it can run continuously?  I would also like to know what size the pieces are after the documents are shredded.  I appreciate your help.

Mono Machines Response:

Hi Alexander,

Thank you for your great questions.

The GBC GEX106 Jam Free Cross-Cut Shredder is designed for people who shred less than 50 pages a day.  This particular machine is an excellent choice for use by 1-4 users for light productivity.  The GBC GEX106 Jam Free Cross-Cut Shredder has the ability to run continuously for 4 minutes however, you need to know that after the GEX106 has run continuously for that 4-minute time period, it will need about half-an-hour to cool off before you can shred again.  This machine will turn your documents into 1/6″ x 1-3/4″ pieces, giving you Level 3 security.  I hope this answers your questions.  Please let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.  I’m happy to help!

Thank you,

Tanya

Below you will find Part 2 (Paper Shredder Size) of “What is the Best High Security Paper Shredder?

Size – Size is something to consider after you have decided on your Security needs and whether or not you need a High Security Shredder you need.  Regarding size, keep a few things in mind – actual size of the machine (how big is the paper shredder?)  and also how big is the shred bin?

For the size, make sure the shredder you are looking to acquire will fit the area or location you plan on having the shredder.  The worst thing that can happen is you get a paper shredder and then it doesn’t fit where you want it too.

With regards with the shred bin size, think about how often you will need to or want to empty the shredder bin.  Strip-Cut Shredders and Cross-Cut Shredders require more emptying (trash duty) than high security shredders (Level 5 [HS5 or High Security Level 5] and Level 6 [HS6 or High Security Level 6 or NSA Approved or DOD Approved].   This is because high security shredders shred the paper into smaller particles.

Hi,
Can you program the Swingline 350MD (or any electric punchers) puncher for single-hole punches ? If so, is there a way to measure how far you can put the paper in so the punches are always done in the same position on the document ?
Thank you

Mono Machines Response:

Customer Question:

What is the difference between this one and the one that just says 2604cc?

Mono Machines Response:

Hi John,
The DestroyIt 2604cc 3/32” is a Security Level 4 machine.  The DestroyIt 2604cc is a Security Level 3 Machine.  The machines look and operate the same, but the 3/32″ version shreds paper down to 3/32″ x5/8″ particles.  This is roughly half the size of the security level 3 machine.  I hope this answers your question,  Let us know if we can be of any more assistance.
Thanks,

Destroyit 2604cc Shredder

In this series I will be going through the different characteristics or specs to keep in mind when considering which paper shedder is the “best” high security paper shredder for your needs.

Security – Security needs is the number 1 factor when deciding what High Security Shredder you need. For example, there are 2 levels of high security shredders – Level 5 (HS5 or High Security Level 5) and Level 6 (HS6 or High Security Level 6 or NSA Approved or DOD Approved). Level 5 was the old NSA Approved standard and has been replaced by the Level 6 High Security Standard. Most government agencies go with level 6 as this is now the approved standard by the NSA and DOD. You will often hear the terms Top Secret Shredder, NSA Approved Shredder or DOD Approved Shredder when you bring up a level 6 high security shredder. Level 5 is used very little now that the level 6 high security standard has been released. Level 6 is definitely the recommended security level for any government agency, especially if top secret documents are involved.
