Corrugated cardboard boxes are very convenient when you need to move offices, ship your products, or store old files. But when it comes time to get rid of your old boxes, cardboard can be a real pain. After all, it s bulky, hard to cut up, and takes up a lot of room even when it s broken down. But did you know that there are machines that can help you dispose of your old cardboard and even make it useful again? Intimus, a leading purveyor of paper shredders, has two cardboard shredders on the market that make it easy to deal with your unwanted cardboard. This article will fill you in on the details of the company s PacMate and PacMaster S 220v cardboard shredders, so you can quit wrestling with your old boxes and do something more productive.
The Intimus PacMate cardboard shredder is the ideal machine to get if you need a shredder that won t take up a lot of room and is easily transportable. This product is designed for tabletop use and it can shred computer paper and newsprint, as well as cardboard. (Just be aware that the shreds this machine produces are fairly large, so you should use a machine with a higher security level when shredding confidential information.) The shreds the PacMate produces are designed to be used as packing material for your company. That means that you will not only get rid of your unwanted cardboard, you will also have free packing filler. What a great way to save your company money. The PacMate can shred materials up to 15 inches wide, so you ll need to cut down your cardboard before shredding it, but this machine is a great option if you need a budget friendly way to dispose of your old cardboard.
If you need a more powerful cardboard shredder, the Intimus PacMaster S 220V is a no brainer. Like the PacMate, the PacMaster can turn your old boxes, newspapers, and other paper waste into packing material. However, the PacMaster is capable of handling a higher volume of material, plus it has a built in cutter that makes it easy to accurately cut your cardboard for shredding. You can shred slightly larger objects with the PacMaster (up to 16 inches wide) and it shreds them faster, too. (The PacMaster can shred up to 35.4 feet per minute, while the PacMate can only do 25 feet.) The PacMaster is also very easy to use and has some great safety features, including a main switch that also serves as an emergency stop. Finally, while it s not as easily portable as the PacMate, the PacMaster does have casters so it can be moved around. (Just get someone to help you because this machine weighs in at a whopping 452 pounds.)
Yes, dealing with old cardboard can be a pain, but with the right Intimus cardboard shredder, it doesn t have to be. The PacMate and PacMaster S 220v can help you turn that unwanted cardboard into something more useful and save you money in the process. If you deal with a lot of cardboard, an Intimus cardboard shredder is just what you need to make the job easier.
