The Dahle MHP Oil-Free Shredder is a robust cross-cut shredder designed for efficient document destruction. It features a generous 16-inch feed width and can shred 22 to 24 sheets per pass at a speed of 20 feet per minute, producing P-4 security level shreds of 1.56 x 0.125 inches. With a large 45-gallon wastebin capacity and the ability to shred credit cards, CDs, DVDs, paper clips, and staples, this shredder is ideal for busy offices requiring secure disposal of various media types.
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 Strip-cut models are insecure and outdated; always choose cross-cut or micro-cut.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 $2,527.
Energy costs are negligible since shredders run for seconds at a time. The main costs are lubricating sheets/oil and replacement waste bags.
