Tips for choosing the right device

Every office has one. Every office needs one. Maybe hardly anyone in the office even knows what it can do, despite its name speaking for itself: a shredder shreds documents. So far, so simple. But what if the sensitive data is on a CD? Or if a pile of documents is stapled together? Do I need to oil the device regularly? How much electricity does it use? And what’s all this about different security levels – are there really seven of them? Which one do I need?

If you have the task of buying a new shredder for your home office or the office where you work together with colleagues, or if you are asked for advice when selecting a new shredder, the initial questions are all important. And don’t forget that there are other criteria too! But don’t worry – you will definitely find the right device in the end. To get there, you first need to answer three questions that arise directly from your working environment: application, protection against fine dust and location. From the answers, you can then configure the appropriate device from the manufacturer, Dahle.

Step 2:  Fine dust is not only a burden in road traffic, but also in the office. Printers, document shredders or other technical devices also cause extremely fine particles. Therefore, you should consider the question of whether the new shredder should be equipped with a health-supporting CleanTEC filter. This CleanTEC filter is integrated directly into the device and prevents fine dust from even entering the room in the first place.
