Fellowes LX Series Paper Shredder LX221 20 Sheet Micro Cut Shredder with 30 Litre Pull Out Bin Superior Security P5 White

The Fellowes LX221 micro-cut paper shredder securely destroys confidential documents by shredding up to 20 sheets of A4 paper per pass into 2 x 12 mm micro-cut particles (security level P-5). It accepts staples, paper clips and credit cards and is intended for home or office use. The unit includes a 30-litre pull-out bin and weighs 16.7 kg.

Advantages

The LX221 uses micro-cut cutters and solid steel construction to provide a high level of security and long-lasting performance. Intellibar responsive technology gives real-time feedback to optimise shredding and avoid interruptions, while the Fellowes 100% jam proof system reduces paper jams. Built-in safety automatically disables the cutters if hands touch the opening. The shredder can run continuously for up to 25 minutes before a 15-minute cool-down is required.
