In today’s eco-minded world, the MBM Destroyit 2270 stands out as a greener shredder. Packed with features that conserve energy and promote recycling, the 2270 is an excellent choice for a deskside shredder. Let’s take a closer look.

Strengths:

* A photo cell controlled automatic start and stop function detects when paper is fed into the 8.75 inch opening and begins shredding immediately. A separate slot shreds CDs, DVDs, and credit cards. Both are protected by a transparent safety shield that guards against flying particles. The entire unit is controlled by a single, multifunction switch that has three operation modes: stand-by, stop, and reverse. The stop mode is automatically triggered when the shred bin is full, the cabinet door is open, or if there is a paper jam. In the event of a jam, the auto reverse feeds the items back out to the user, helping to unclog the blades.

* Another environmentally friendly feature is the Energy Saving Mode. After one hour of inactivity, the machine powers down to a “sleep” mode to conserve electricity.

* The hardened steel cutting shafts are backed by a lifetime warranty. They are powerful enough to shred 10-12 sheets at once as fast as 12 feet per minute. The blades for the paper slot are able to eat through staples, paper clips and credit cards. The shredding heads are powered by a robust single phase motor, double protected against overheating. The gearbox is enclosed in a dustproof housing. Coupled together, these ensure your machine stays in top working condition and save you money on potential costly repairs.

* Finally, the shred strips are deposited into a removable bin fitted with a window to show how many shreds have been collected. Separate compartments collect paper and plastic, allowing the paper to be easily added to the recycle bin while the plastic is thrown away. The bin holds approximately 5 gallons of paper waste and
