Weighing over 100 pounds

Many departments have found that a
single, central shredder is more cost-effective than multiple individual
shredders. For this purpose, the GBC Shredmaster GLX3055 is a great
option. Designed for use in high volume departments, the heavy duty
construction can withstand long-term, high volume shredding. Let's take
a closer look.

Strengths:

• Simple operation is given in the many automatic features.
  The automated on/off senses papers in the feed and shreds on cue,
  stopping when finished. After a two minute period of no activity, the
  machine slows down to a power save mode in order to save electricity. A
  row of backlit icons offers simple push button control and displays
  operational status.
• JamStopper technology works to prevent
  jams before they happen. Users are immediately alerted to an overfeed
  before the blades get clogged. Once the excess items are removed, the
  machine starts back up and shreds as usual. If a jam does happen, the
  auto reverse clears the blades by feeding the items back out to the
  user.
• The continuous duty motor saves you time by allowing
  all-day use instead of needing frequent cool down periods. It is also
  rated at 10 decibels less than its competitors, providing a hushed
  shredding experience.
• An extra wide 16 inch entry easily
  accommodates oversized paper and disorganized stacks. Up to 30 sheets
  can go through at once, including staples, paperclips, credit cards, and
  CDs. Items are devoured as fast as 20 feet per minute, quickly
  destroying any private information.
• The cross cutting
  mechanism creates tiny particles that earn a level three security
  rating. Most confidential office material stays safe at this level,
  including employee records, personal data, and business information.
• Paper
  confetti is deposited into a spacious 55 gallon waste container. The
  bin is housed in a pull out drawer for simple removal and replacement of
  the shred bag.
• The self-cleaning mechanism on the blades
  works to prolong the life of your shredder. The cutters actually carry a
  lifetime warranty provided by GBC. The rest of the device has a two
  year warranty, which includes on-site service.

Weaknesses:

• The small pieces created only provide a level three
  security rating. This is completely adequate for most offices. But
  businesses needing the secure disposal of highly classified material
  will want a high security machine.
• Weighing over 100 pounds,
  this is a heavy piece of office equipment to move around. However,
  casters on the bottom provide easy mobility and we don't think most
  users will have a problem with this.
• One thing that would be
  nice on this machine is segregated waste compartments for paper and
  plastic waste, allowing the simple recycling of the paper. This may or
  may not be a concern for you. If it is, we recommend checking out the
  MBM Destroyit 2270, though it is smaller than this shredder.

As
evidenced by the many strengths, the GLX3055 is an excellent shredder
for any office. Equipped with automatic features and decent capacities,
this device can stand up to the rigorous use needed in high traffic
areas. Any business needing a machine for use by ten or more people
will appreciate convenience and efficiency of this device. We would
highly recommend the Shredmaster GLX3055 for your next central office
shredder.
