Industrial Cross-Cut Shredder Machines

Single-pass cross-cut shredding for the highest level of destruction of your confidential information.

  • High level of destruction to meet more stringent security requirements.
  • Brings advanced cross-cut shredding capability into the office setting.
  • Built to be the most reliable in the industry, like all Allegheny conveyor-fed industrial shredder.

Concept

The recent explosion of data breaches and identity theft cases has prompted many companies to tighten their information destruction protocols. Many desire a smaller shred size as the end product of their secure information. Our knowledge gathered from over 50 years of building superior shredding equipment has allowed us to create a shredder that can give companies just that.

The Allegheny Cross-Cut Shredder is made specifically for document destruction or record management companies that want to maximize the volume of shred paper they are processing while offering their customers a significantly smaller, more secure shred size.

Rather than cutting in strips, Allegheny’s Industrial Cross-Cut Shredder uses individually stacked tool steel cutters with counter-rotating shafts to create a single pass cross-cut rectangular shred. Depending on the model, the end product can measure as small as 1/8″ wide x 1″ long. In addition to the increased security, the discharge from an Allegheny Industrial Cross-Cut Shredder takes up less space in your facility due to its smaller shred size (as compared to a strip-cut shredder).

Allegheny’s Industrial Cross-Cut Shredder is available in two models, the 16-75CX and the 20-350CX. The 16-75CX has a 16″ feed opening and is available with a 5, 7.5, or 10 Hp motor. The 20-350CX has a 20″ feed opening and is available with a 25, 30, or 40 Hp motor. Allegheny also has recently released a new version of the 20-350CX that has a 30″ feed opening and a 50 Hp motor.

Benefits

  • Aggressive cutting assembly destroys a wide range of materials at the highest level of destruction
  • Ideal for organizations that have outgrown office paper shredder yet require the maximum level of secure destruction
  • Small shreds result in fewer plastic bags for shredded output
  • Superior reliability and durable construction common to all 16-Series Shredders
  • Comes standard with a feed table to facilitate loading of materials into the shredder
  • A capacity of up to 400 sheets per pass
