subject: Mbm Destroyit 5009 High Capacity Cross Cut Paper Shredder Review [print this page] At the top of MBM Destroyit's line of high capacity shredders sits the 5009 Cross Cut. High quality steel blades are able to quickly dispose of large quantities of multiple media types. An extra large feed table and conveyor belt combined with a massive shred bin make this the big daddy of MBM shredders. Let's take a closer look at this behemoth.
Strengths:
* Though giant, the 5009 is still easy to use. A simple control panel utilizes push buttons for forward, stop, and reverse functions. It also has a safety lock and key, a main switch, and an emergency stop button. An auto reverse and re-feed takes the effort out of clearing a paper jam. Illuminated icons display the machine's current status.
* This shredder boasts of two powerful three-phase motors rated for continuous operation. They have a thermal switch to protect against overheating. The durable gears are housed in a dustproof casing to prevent corrosion. The motor offers two different speed modes. "Power" is best used for mass feeding of jumbo amounts of paper. "Speed" offers quick destruction of smaller quantities.
* The hardened steel blades are backed by a lifetime warranty. Soft metal resistant surfaces allow the demolition of not only staples, paperclips, and credit cards but also CDs, VHS tapes, hardbound documents, and three-ring binders. No matter what form your confidential information is in, the 5009 can probably destroy it. A centralized oiler offers convenient lubricating of the shredder heads to keep them working smoothly.
* The massive blades can take in over 600 pages at once into the 20 inch feed. Depending on which speed mode you choose, things are eaten as fast as 24-46 feet per minute. Small particles only 11/32 by 1-1/2 to 3 inches in size remain and offer a level 2 security rating. A massive 79 gallon waste compartment is easily accessed by a door in the back of the machine. A mobile shred cart with a bag mounting frame offers easy replacement of the shred bag. When the cart is full or the cabinet door is open, the machine stops shredding until the issue is resolved.
Weaknesses
* This machine is colossal, weighing in at 3080 pounds. Heavy duty casters aid in the mobility of the device but this is one machine you might not want to move once it's in place.
* Even though this is a cross cutting device, it still only offers a level 2 security. Our guess is those looking into this machine are interested more in capacity than security. Even so, MBM does offer higher security high capacity machines but they are smaller than this model.
For a high capacity shredder, it doesn't get much better than this. The Destroyit 5009 offers efficient disposal of multiple media types by high powered steel blades. A one year warranty guarantees the reliability of this device and offers peace of mind that you're getting a high quality device. We would definitely recommend the 5009 High Capacity Cross Cut Shredder as an excellent choice for your industry's next high volume shredder.
