The word shredder tends to conjure up images of deskside paper shredders whirring away in an office and spitting out long shreds of paper. But did you know that there are other types of shredders? Well, there are, and Intimus, one of America s best shredder manufacturers, has a whole line of them. This article will introduce you to the specialty shredders Intimus currently has available. Who knows? You may even decide you need one for your business.
Cardboard Shredders
If you ve ever had to dispose of a lot of cardboard, you know how much of a pain it can be. Those cardboard boxes take up a lot of room even after they are flattened, plus they re awkward to move. A cardboard shredder can help you with that by turning any cardboard you don t need into useful packing materials. Intimus has two different cardboard shredders on the market: the PacMate and the PacMaster S 220v. These two machines make it easy for you to dispose of those pesky cardboard boxes and turn them into shreds that can either be recycled or used for packing material. Not only will you free up some much needed space, you ll be helping the environment by reusing and recycling! And if your company is on a budget (like everyone else these days), the PacMate is a reasonably priced machine that can not only create packing materials from cardboard, but newsprint and other types of paper as well. If you have more financial freedom and/or you need a really powerful shredder, the PacMaster S 220v is the machine for you. It will even help you cut your boxes down to a suitable size for shredding.
Multimedia Shredders
If your company routinely destroys media such as CD s, credit cards, and floppy disks and your current paper shredder can t handle such items, you definitely need a multimedia shredder such as Intimus Multimedia Particle Cut Shredder or their 502CD Multimedia Shredder. Both of these shredders pulverize media so you can be sure that your sensitive data is totally destroyed, even if it s on a CD ROM or DVD. The 502CD machine has two different compartments so your shredded CD s and DVD s don t get mixed up with your other waste, making for easy recycling. Meanwhile, the Multimedia Particle Cut Shredder can not only shred CD s and the like, it can destroy Zip disks, DAT tapes, and Superdisks. If you need the ultimate in multimedia shredding, the Intimus Multimedia Particle Cut Shredder is the machine to get.
Pharmacy Shredders
Finally, Martin Yale, the parent company of Intimus, manufactures the ScriptStroyer pharmacy shredder, a machine that s a must have for every drugstore, doctor s office, and hospital in the country. Anyone dealing with any kind of health related information (prescriptions, medical charts, etc.) must comply with the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPPA), a federal law that was passed to ensure patient privacy. Not complying with HIPPA (such as not shredding private information) can lead to big trouble, but the ScriptStroyer can help ensure that you stay on the right side of the law. This powerful machine shreds pharmacy labels as well as pill bottles, making it the ideal choice for total HIPPA compliance. It also has an automatic oiler, so it s easy to maintain. The ScriptStroyer runs quietly, so it won t create a ruckus in your medical office or drugstore. There isn t another product like this anywhere on the shredder market, which makes Intimus/Martin Yale a leader in shredding technology, and one that clearly has its customers best interests in mind.
There s more to the shredding world than just cross and strip cut shredders. Indeed, there s a shredder out there for just about every need imaginable. If you re in the market for a specialty shredder, be sure to give Intimus some consideration. Whether you need to shred cardboard, diskettes, Zip disks, or medicine bottles, there s an Intimus machine that s perfect for you.
