which uses either plastic or recyclable paper bags.


In any company, the secure disposal of
sensitive material is highly important. An excellent device for this
task is the GBC Shredmaster GLM1130. It offers high security combined
with heavy duty construction and super quiet operation. This durable
machine is designed to stand up to the rigorous, all day shredding
needed in large offices. Let's take a closer look.

Strengths:

  • With its automatic on/off function, this shredder is easy
    to use. Paper is detected in the feed and shred on cue. When you've
    finished, the machine automatically turns itself off. A clear, lighted
    control panel constantly displays the machine's status. Two minutes of
    inactivity activates an energy conserving power save mode to save
    electricity.
  • With Jam Free technology, jams are prevented
    before they happen. The user is alerted to overfed paper by a glowing
    red throat and the blades coming to a halt. After the excess paper is
    removed, the throat turns green and the blades re-start. Auto reverse
    feeds items back out to the user to unclog the blades if a jam does
    occur.
  • The continuous duty motor is rated for super quiet
    operation, about 10 decibels less than its closest competitors. Quieter
    shredding equals less distraction for your employees, increasing
    productivity.
  • A wide ten inch paper entry easily accepts
    stapled and paperclipped documents up to 11 sheets thick. A separate
    slot accommodates credit cards and CDs. Items are shred as fast as 19
    feet per minute and drop into a spacious 30 gallon container. The waste
    bin is located in a convenient pull-out drawer, which uses either
    plastic or recyclable paper bags.
  • The cross cutting mechanism
    creates tiny pieces only 3/32" by 19/32" in size, earning a level 4
    security rating. This is ideal for all your sensitive internal
    documents as well as any confidential employee information.
  • The
    blades also have self-cleaning and self-oiling mechanisms. Both keep
    the blades free of debris and running smoothly, prolonging the life of
    your machine.
  • GBC provides a one year warranty on the
    cutters. The rest of the device carries a two year warranty, which
    includes on-site service.

Weaknesses:

  • This is a heavy machine and will be bulky and awkward to
    move, short of storing it on wheels. Unfortunately, it doesn't have
    casters. We suggest using a dolly to help you move it around if needed.
  • Although
    the separate openings are convenient, it would be nice if there were
    differentiated waste compartments as well. While this may not be an
    issue for many people, there are shredders on the market that do offer
    segregated waste for easier recycling.
  • The capacities seen on
    this machine- 11 sheets shred at 19 feet per minute- are not ideal for
    extremely high volumes. However, they are normal for high security
    shredders. If you need faster shredding with only medium security, we
    recommend the GLX2030.

Clearly from the many strengths,
the GBC Shredmaster GLM1130 is an ideal system for a large office
needing to destroy secure material. Private information stays safe in
the minute particles efficiently created by the blades. We would highly
recommend this excellent device as your next central office shredder.
