Intimus S16.50 7.8mm Industrial Strip Cut Shredder Review

For a high volume performance industrial
shredder, the Intimus S16.50 is a great option. Designed for easy
operation, this shredder quickly disposes of large quantities of
expired or sensitive information. Automatic features make it simple to
use and a warranty guarantees quality craftsmanship. Here is a more
in depth look at the S16.50 7.8mm Industrial Strip Cut Shredder.

Strengths:

• Many automatic and safety features make this device
  easy to operate. A safety locking key allows only authorized
  personnel to turn the machine on and off. If a paper jam begins to
  occur, the blades automatically reverse and try to re-shred the
  material three times. If it still jams, the items are fed
  back to the user for separation. This prevents paper from being
  overfed and clogging the blades. A plastic shield helps to
  keep any flying particles from getting into your eyes while you work.
  And if you reach for the blades while shredding, chances are
  before you can touch the cutting cylinders your body will hit the
  wide, emergency shut down bar located across the front of the feed
  table.
• A highly convenient conveyor belt feed system
  allows you to toss stacks onto the belt and let the machine feed
  the items into the blades automatically. The front table
  offers a large workspace for you to store your shred stack or coffee cup
  while you're using the device. A massive stack of up to
  420 sheets can enter the 20 inch wide opening at once, including
  credit cards, CDs, floppy disks, and notebooks. Items are shred as fast
  as 50 feet per minute. That equals approximately 1800
  pounds of throughput an hour.
• Thin, illegible strips
  fall into a large capacity waste container that minimizes bag
  changes as much as possible. The bin is on casters for easy pull
  out and disposal. Over 118 gallons of waste can be stored before
  the bag will need to be emptied, saving you from frequent trips to
  the recycle bin.
• One other nice thing about this
  shredder is the warranty backing. The cutting cylinders are guaranteed
  by a 5 year warranty while parts and labor is covered for one
  year.

Weaknesses:

• Unfortunately, this machine isn't mounted on
  casters but weighs about 1600 pounds. If you do need to move it around,
  we suggest using a heavy duty appliance dolly to help you do it.
• The narrow strips created only earn a level 2 security
  rating. While this secures generic office documents, such as work
  orders and memos, any confidential information should go through
  at least a level 3 shredder. This model does come in a higher
  security version to meet that standard.

Overall, the
S16.50 is well-suited to meet the heavy duty shredding needs of any
industry or warehouse. Large businesses will appreciate the
convenience of the conveyor belt feed system as well as the many safety
and automatic features. We would highly recommend this machine for
your next industrial shredder.
