Hama Prime M50CD-B paper shredder Micro-cut shredding 68 dB 22 cm Black

The Hama Prime M50CD-B is a compact micro-cut paper shredder for home and office use that securely destroys confidential documents, plastic cards and optical media. It shreds up to 5 sheets of DIN A4 (80 g/m²) at once and produces extra-small particles measuring approximately 2 x 12 mm to meet high security requirements. The unit includes a 13‑litre collection basket with viewing window and a separate slot for CDs/DVDs/Blu-rays and plastic cards.

Advantages

This micro-cut shredder is GDPR-compliant with security level P‑5 (DIN 66399), providing protection for particularly confidential and secret data. The device features an automatic start/stop function for convenient, quiet operation and a reverse function to clear paper jams. Overheating protection switches the shredder off automatically to prevent damage, and the staple-safe quality steel cutting shafts allow shredding of stapled documents without manual removal. A safety mechanism prevents operation unless the head is correctly seated on the basket.
