£215,000 invested in new shredding machinery

Shredall, the document security people, have recently installed and commissioned a brand new Shred-Tech ST35 shredding machine at their Nottingham site and are due to take delivery of a brand new mobile document shredder with a shredding output of 2000kgs per hour onsite for witnessed shredding at their customer’s doors.

The newly installed static shredder will double their daily shredding capability from 11 tonnes per day to 22 tonnes per day offsite, whilst their new 18 tonne MDS mobile shredding machine is the most up to date onsite shredding machine in Europe.

Costing a combined £215,000 the state of the art machines are made from light weight aluminium rather than the cast iron machinery of old.

These market leaders will also be more cost effective and environmentally friendly. Operating on less power than previous machines they will greatly reduce emissions and electricity costs, falling in line with Shredall’s ISO14000 environmental commitments.

The two new investments conform to EN 15713 shred sizes and Shredall’s industry standard AAA NAID Codes of Practices. Both machines also have soft start motor configurations and magic eyes that stop the machines from reversing, assisting the reduction of emissions and electricity to half that of the companies previous machinery.

Shredall’s Managing Director Lloyd Williams said: “These two new state of the art machines have made us more competitive, cost effective and greener and will hopefully increase our local market share in the process”.

“They will give confidence to business leaders across our region by giving further reassurances to their insurers that secure data relating to personal information is not threatened or compromised by casually discarding business records.”

Williams added: “Shredall will gradually be spending less time on our customer’s sites but we will continue to assist them in conforming to the new Data Protection laws where potential fines have recently increased from £5000 to £500,000.”
