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.
