MBM Destroyit 4107 High Capacity Strip Cut Paper Shredder- DSH0325 Review

For a heavy duty, high capacity shredder, MBM Destroyit’s 4107 is a great option. Designed for low security, high volume usage, the 4107 offers powerful, easy, and reliable use backed by warranty. Here is a more in-depth look.

Strengths:

This machine is operated by a simple control panel with buttons for forward, stop, and reverse. It has a safety lock and key, main switch, and an emergency stop button. Convenient removable side tables provide a larger work space for storing stacks while other items ride on a conveyor belt to the blades. An automatic shut off activates if there is a paper jam, the shred bag is full, or the cabinet door is open. In the case of a jam, the auto reverse pushes the items out of the machine to help unclog the blades.
The hardened steel blades are backed by a lifetime warranty and are soft metal resistant. They can eat not only stapled and paperclipped items, but also credit cards, CDs, crumpled papers, and hardbound documents. A centralized oiler keeps the shredding heads running smoothly.
The cutting shafts are driven by a powerful 3 phase motor rated for continuous use. A thermal switch prevents overheating so the engine doesn’t get fried. And the durable gears are housed in a dustproof casing to avoid corrosion. These features ensure your shredder stays in optimal condition.
The conveyor belt feeds items into a 16 inch opening that can take up to 140 sheets at once as fast as 60 feet per minute. The ½ inch strips offer a level 2 security, keeping generic office documents out of the wrong hands. The pieces fall into a massive 79 gallon shred compartment with an easy access door located in the back of the machine. A plastic shred bag sits in a pull-out bag frame mounted on rollers for easy removal and replacement.

Weaknesses:

The strips created by the blades only offer a level 2 security rating. For general office shredding, most documents will be fine. However, if your business needs a safer way to dispose of classified documents, this model comes in a level 3 version. MBM also makes a high capacity shredder that offers a level 4 security, the 4605.
At 994 pounds, this machine is a hefty piece of office equipment. Mobility is made easier since the machine is mounted on heavy duty casters and isn’t much of an issue for most users.
A 79 gallon shred bag will be heavy to lift and dispose of. Unless compacted down, the strips will fill the bag quickly without weighing 79 gallons as much air will be in the bag as well.

MBM’s high capacity shredders are designed for extremely high volume use and this one stands up to the test. Large quantities of multiple types of material are rapidly sliced into small pieces. Reliability is guaranteed by a one year warranty, with a lifetime guarantee on the blades. We would recommend the 4107 High Capacity Strip Cut for your next high volume shredder.
