Industrial cross-cut shredders are configured for high-speed destruction of documents and storage media other than hard disk drives. Two-counter rotating shafts with special cutters shear material to fixed widths while points on the cutters control the lengths of the shredded pieces.
Document destruction demands have become more stringent over time. Many financial, legal, and medical companies no longer consider documents destroyed if they are merely shredded into stips. Specific not-to-exceed shred lengths and widths are required. High volume shredding that provides a maximum 5/16” wide x 2-½” long shred size is considered by most companies to be full document destruction. Options are available for even smaller sizes for special applications.
