The Dahle MHP Oil-Free Shredder is a robust cross-cut shredder designed for efficient document destruction. Featuring a 12" feed width and capable of shredding 24-26 sheets per pass at 20 feet per minute, it offers P-4 security by reducing documents to 1.56 x 0.125" particles. With a quiet 52 dB operation and a generous 30-gallon wastebin, this shredder is ideal for offices needing to securely dispose of paper, credit cards, CDs, DVDs, staples, and paper clips without the need for oil.
Security level (cut type) and continuous run time are key. Strip-cut models are insecure and outdated; always choose cross-cut or micro-cut. Available from $2,097.
Energy costs are negligible since shredders run for seconds at a time. The main costs are lubricating sheets/oil and replacement waste bags.
Common Failure Modes
