Description

About the FD 8300HS

The Formax FD 8300HS is a high-security deskside shredder that is NSA-evaluated and meets NSA/CSS requirements for Level 6 high-security cross-cut shredding — the standard for Top Secret and classified documents. It reduces paper to a 1/32 x 3/16-inch particle, taking up to 8 sheets per pass at speeds up to 23 feet per minute.

Heat-treated steel blades and a steel cabinet are built for daily duty, driven by an AC geared motor, and the waste bin carries a lifetime guarantee. AutoStart/Stop/Reverse handles feeding and jam recovery, an LED control panel keeps status visible, and ECO mode drops the unit into standby after 5 minutes of inactivity. An optional EvenFlow automatic internal oiling system keeps the cutters conditioned without operator attention.

A 1/32 x 3/16-inch high-security cross-cut shred, at up to 8 sheets per pass.

How does the FD 8300HS compare to the FD 8400HS-1 and the deskside FD 8304CC?
The FD 8300HS is the compact P-7 option: 6 to 8 sheets per pass at 23 fpm through a 9.5 in feed into a 15 gal bin, 149 lbs.
