Particle Cut

Particle Cut line

The Particle Cut line shears material to a 1/2″ × variable (12.7 mm × variable) particle for high-volume bulk destruction — paper, cardboard and plastic, and e-scrap including hard drives and SSDs. Where a split-feed media shredder reduces drives to a fixed media spec, Particle Cut takes mixed bulk volume at scale. Available across the 20-, 30- and 36-Series chambers.
