Department Shredders

Known for their power and waste capacity, Dahle Department Shredders provide a practical solution for accommodating the shredding needs of even the busiest offices. These machines can continually shred large quantities of paper for long periods of time and are designed to shred between 2,000 and 12,000 sheets of paper per day. Their attractive design and large storage bin make them a nice addition to any large office, copy room or communications center.

With ten models to choose from, Dahle Department Shredders have a larger feed opening to easily accommodate letter, legal and wide computer paper (excludes 30430). The machines with the largest sheet capacity in this range can shred up to 32 sheets of paper at a time. Department Shredders feature a large capacity waste bin and are capable of holding 35 gallons of shredded material. This series includes four strip cut models as well as six fully electronic cross cut machines with the ability to shred to the standards of security level 2, 3, 4 or 5.

The shredding power of these machines originates from a 2 horsepower continuous duty motor (most models) which allows for longer shred periods without cooling down. In order to provide slip free power to the cutting cylinders a steel chain connects the two components and provides maximum shredding capacity. Removing staples and paper clips are a thing of the past. Dahle shredders can easily accommodate these items without harming the machine—saving you time in the process.
