Why should you buy a shredder?


Why should you buy a shredder? With the rise of identity
theft and financial scamming, the need to invest in secure
ways to dispose of your personal information and
correspondence is more important than ever. Whether you are
running a small business enterprise, or a large-scale
company with hundreds of employees, the need to shred all
personal, financial and confidential correspondence should
be a high priority.

Consider that a potential criminal only needs to gather
details of your credit card, address or bank account just
once to commit fraud in your name and you will see the
importance of investing in a quality paper shredder which
will not let you down. Encourage good and consistent
housekeeping procedures within your company by outlining a
clear company policy for shredding documents to staff and
by providing your company with a high-quality shredder that
can cater for all your company's shredding needs.

Probably the most robust brand of shredder is IDEAL, a
brand name of the German manufacturer Krug & Priester of
Balingen, in Germany.  Every IDEAL shredder is hand built,
right down to the printed circuits than control the
machine.  With solid steel cutting heads made from a single
piece of Solingen Quality Steel, powerful motors and safety
factors such as the Safety Protection System that stops the
machine when the paper feed flap is opened, these machines
are not just robust but safe also and are supplied with
high quality wooden cabinets which help to reduce noise
levels.

What kind of specification and service can you expect from
an IDEAL paper shredder? The IDEAL 2220 paper shredder, at
the bottom end of the scale, can cut between eight and 12
sheets at the same time and can even cut through paper
clips. It has a shred size of 4mm, giving it a Security
Level 2 – ideal for all internal home or small office
information that is not considered sensitive. The IDEAL
2220's cutting shafts come with a five-year guarantee. The
shredder is designed to work quietly and has a practical
and well-designed handle for lifting the shredder unit from
the paper bin.





The IDEAL 4004 has a powerful 2.1 kilowatt motor yet will
run on a normal 13 amp power supply.  This is the only
machine on the market that will change gear when presented
with more than a few sheets of paper to shred and will
happily shred up to 40 sheets of 70 gsm paper at a pass.
With a shred speed of 0.3 meters per second it could also
lay claim to being the fastest shredder in the world for a
single sheet of paper at least.

At the mammoth end of the scale, the IDEAL 5009 cross-cut
paper shredder can shred up to 700 sheets in a session. The
machine's shredding speed adapts to the volume of paper
being shredded at any one time and will automatically
reverse and start again in the even of a paper jam.

IDEAL paper shredders are the perfect option for the office
or company requiring an office or industrial shredder.
There are 46 models available at every level of security
from level 2 right up to level 6 which is preferred by USA
government departments, embassies and other offices.

IDEAL paper shredders come as either cross-cut or
strip-cut, and are offered throughout the price spectrum to
suit the customer's individual requirements, on however
large or small a scale. Models available include deskside
shredders that shred small quantities of paper to large,
industrial shredders capable of shredding up to 700 sheets
simultaneously.
