The 105.3 Level 2 Strip Cut by HSM is a great

system for personal or small office use by a few people. With

automatic features to make use simple and an LED display panel, this

petite machine is highly convenient to have around. Let's take a closer

look at the pros and cons.

Pros:

While multiple people could share Vibratory Deburring Machine Suppliers, it's still small enough to sit

under a desk for personal use. And since it only weighs about 25

pounds, you won't have a problem moving it.A toggle switch

controls on, off, and reverse functions. Once on, the shredder sits in a

standby mode without using electricity. The cutting cylinders start

and stop automatically via photo cell sensor as items enter through the

feed. A safety shield covering the entry keeps ties and other objects

from getting caught in the blades. If items are jammed, the reverse

function feeds the materials back out to the user. An LED panel with

indicator lights keeps the user constantly aware of the machine's

status.The motor uses a specially adjusted drive system for

higher performance and longer shredding periods. Thermal protection

guards against overheating. A fully enclosed housing reduces the spread

of dust and quiets the noise of the motor. This machine only produces

about 59 decibels of sound, about the same noise level as a normal

conversation one yard away.A 9.5 inch opening allows 13-19

sheets in at once, depending on which version you choose. Either ¼" or

1/8" wide strips are produced as fast as 16 feet per minute. The blades

accept staples and paperclips as well as credit cards.The

thin, unreadable strips fall into an 8.7 gallon waste bin with an

integrated tilt-out opening for non-confidential waste. If the waste

bin is full or removed, the machine automatically stops until it's

emptied or returned. A window allows monitoring of the amount of shreds

collected.HSM provides a 20 year warranty on the cutters and two year coverage of parts and labor.

Cons:

Though

the strips created are illegible, they still only provide a low level

two security rating. This is adequate for generic office shredding of

memos and old work orders. But any confidential items need to go

through a cross cut machine with at least a level three rating, such as

the 105.3cc.The engine isn't rated for continuous duty.

This means that for every short period of heavy shredding, it will shut

down to cool off for a little while. Light use may not trigger this

enough to be an issue. However, if you plan to share a shredder between

several people with moderate to high needs, you might prefer a device

with a more powerful motor to accommodate the use.The

capacities on here are on the low end. For this size shredder, they are

appropriate. Again, if your needs are higher or for several people,

you should look at a larger machine.

Overall, the 105.3

Strip Cut Shredder is best suited for a small office. Offering medium

security and quick shredding, your unwanted low risk materials will stay

secure with this device. Simple, automated use provides convenience

and efficiency. We think you will be very happy with the HSM 105.3

Strip Cut as your next personal shredder.
