intimus 130

The intimus 130 office shredder is the workhorse of many commercial and governmental offices, thanks to its reputation as a tough machine that stands up to constant, daily use. The 130 has impressive throughput, shredding 17 to 22 sheets per pass at a rate of up to 622 sheets per minute. Despite this high speed shredding action, the 130 still manages to comply with high security standards, producing shreds measuring only 0.22 square inches (1.41 cm square). And there is no need to waste time removing staples and paperclips, as it handles these with ease.

While the 130 is a robust office shredding solution, there is no need for anything more than minimal training of new employees. A light sensor detects when paper is inserted and activates the shredding mechanism, illuminates the feed slot with a yellow light when it is necessary to reduce the number of sheets being inserted at a time, and shows a red light when the unit is overloaded and engaging the auto-reverse mechanism to prevent damage to the cutting heads. In addition, the easy-to-use i-control control panel presents indicator lights in a readily accessible manner, alongside the forward, reverse, and power buttons. To minimize the need for interrupting shred jobs, the 130 is equipped with an oversized 34.3 gallon (130 liter) catch basket that can hold nearly 3,000 shredded documents.
