Weaknesses

For the continual shredding of large amounts
of material, many corporations turn to industrial sized shredders. One
excellent system for this purpose is the HSM FA400.2 Strip Cut
Conveyor Belt Shredder. This high capacity machine reliably and
efficiently powers through a heavy duty, large throughput all day long.
Offering the convenience of conveyor belt entry and automatic
features, the FA400.2 is simple and easy to use. Here is an in-depth
look at some of the details.

Strengths:

• Size doesn't diminish ease of operation on this
  shredder. Once switched on, the motor sits in standby without
  consuming energy, as shown by LED. A soft touch keypad offers controls
  for continuous and reverse operations. A paper jam will cause the
  blades to automatically rotate backward to help release the overfed
  paper. When the shred bag is full, the motor will stop until it's been
  emptied and replaced.
• The robust gear motor uses a sturdy
  chain drive system for optimal efficiency. It can power your machine
  all day without needing a cool down period. This is especially
  beneficial in businesses with extremely high shredding volumes.
• The
  conveyor belt system is highly convenient. The loading table offers
  practical and easy loading as well as additional work and storage space
  for stacks waiting to shred. An electronic conveyor belt provides
  simple paper entry and optimum operation.
• Documents are fed
  into the wide 17 inch feed in stacks of up to 130 sheets at once. The
  blades can accommodate staples and paperclips as well as credit cards,
  CDs, and floppy disks. Materials pass through the cutting shafts as
  fast as 68 feet per minute and come out in unreadable ?" strips.
• The
  narrow slices are collected in a colossal 104 gallon bin. The
  trolley, lined with a reusable collection bag, is especially convenient
  for emptying. But because of its massive size, you won't have to
  empty the container very often.
• A ten year warranty guarantees the solid steel blades. Parts and labor for the rest of the machine are covered for one year.

Weaknesses:

• Though the pieces created are illegible, they only
  provide a low level 2 security. This is acceptable for generic office
  shredding. But confidential materials should go through a cross
  cutting device, such as the FA400.2cc Cross Cut Shredder.
• Since
  this machine weighs almost 1000 pounds when empty, it will be bulky to
  move around. There are casters on the bottom to help you roll it; we
  still recommend you do so carefully.
• Offices considering
  this shredder should be aware that it is extremely large. If space
  constraints are at all an issue, we suggest you look into a smaller
  device.

Overall, the FA400.2 is an excellent shredder
for industrial use. Large IT departments or office floors could even
use this device as a single, central shredder. Just make sure you have
the space and actually need this much shredder, as it is rather large.
We would definitely recommend the HSM FA400.2 for any business needing
a convenient industrial size shredder.
