subject: Five Great Reasons To Check Out The Formax Fd 8802sc Strip-cut Industrial Paper Shredder [print this page] The Formax FD 8802SC is an industrial strength shredder created for use in the most high volume environments. Loaded with power and safety features, the FD 8802SC is an advanced, high capacity machine meant to work all day, every day. Here are five great reasons to check out the FD 8802SC today.
1.) Awesome Power. The FD 8802SC bills itself as a high capacity shredder, and it is indeed one of the highest capacity shredders on the market. This is a shredder that can handle whole files and folders (up to 125 sheets at a time) as well as compact discs, ZIP and floppy discs, stacks of computer paper, and audio and video tapes. These remarkable capabilities are made possible by the FD 8802SC's heavy duty AC geared motor that runs at an impressive 50 feet per minute and operates a system of cutters that are made of heat tempered solid steel and are guaranteed for the life of the machine.
2.) Nice Safety Features. The FD 8802SC features a "can't miss it" bright orange, 18 inch safety bar right in front of the conveyor belt that will stop the machine instantly any time it is pressed. There is also a locked and keyed on and off system that allows you to prevent any unauthorized users from operating the machine. The motor stops automatically (and an indicator light appears on the control panel) whenever the cabinet door is opened as well as when the waste bin needs to be emptied. There is also an on board circuit breaker to prevent power overload, and a thermal protection function that keeps the motor from reaching the overheating point.
3.) Easy To Operate. The FD 8802SC has a large, easy to read and understand LED control panel. With it, you can set the machine to utilize its optical sensors to detect when there is a load of paper on the conveyor belt, or to run in manual mode if the material you are shredding is too light to be detected by the sensors. The LED panel also has a load indicator to let you know when the shredder is operating at its peak capacity and to prevent overfeeds and paper jams. If there is ever a paper jam, the motor will instantly switch to auto reverse until the jam is cleared.
4.) Easy to Maintain. With the FD 8802SC's automatic cleaning system, all you have to do to clear the cutting heads of collected particles is to press the reverse button for 5 seconds. The cutting heads themselves are made to last a lifetime and are guaranteed for life. Should you choose to go with Formax's optional automatic oiling system as well, you'll always be assured that your shredder is operating at its peak capacity.
5.) Easy to Empty. The cabinet door of the FD 8802SC is located in front of the machine right below the conveyor belt, meaning that you can place the shredder against the wall to save space. The waste bin is rugged, holds an impressive 49 gallons, and it comes with heavy duty casters so you can roll the shredder waste to its final destination. You can even purchase an extra waste bin so work doesn't have to stop when the bin is being emptied.
