Document shredders
Paper shredders are essential electrical devices used for effective and secure destruction of documents, paper data carriers, and sometimes also credit cards or CD/DVDs. Shredders help protect private, confidential, and sensitive information from unauthorized access, identity theft, or privacy breaches. They are ideal for use in offices, government agencies, and other institutions where compliance with the principles of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is crucial.
=LONG= Paper Shredders - Secure Your Data
In an era of increasing cybercrime and identity theft, securing sensitive and confidential data is becoming increasingly important. Every company, whether it's a sole proprietorship or a large corporation, stores various types of documents and data on different media (paper, plastic cards, CD/DVDs) containing information not only about the company but also about customers. Therefore, it is important to properly protect them from any form of data leakage. When certain documents are no longer needed but contain personal, address, or numerical data that may be confidential or sensitive, they should be securely disposed of. Professional office shredders come to the rescue, becoming an indispensable tool for anyone looking to protect valuable information.
What types of materials can be shredded in a shredder?
Typically, a document shredder allows for the destruction of paper documents. Professional document shredders allow for simultaneous shredding of several to even dozens of sheets at a time. The cutting mechanism can also handle documents stapled with staples or paper clips. More advanced models allow for the disposal of media in the form of plastic cards and CD/DVDs.
How does a document shredder work?
A shredder is constructed with a sturdy housing that contains a motor, cutting mechanism, and waste bin. The motor drives the cutting mechanism, which, depending on the type of shredder and security level, shreds documents into strips or tiny particles, preventing their reconstruction. The waste bin collects the shredded documents, and its removable design facilitates cleaning and emptying. Regardless of the type of shredder, the device is equipped with a control panel that allows for easy operation of functions such as power on/off, paper jam reversal, and error or overheating indication. Shredders have a special and wide slot where the blades are located. When a document is inserted into the slot, the paper is automatically fed forward, where special blades shred the data carrier. After the process is completed, the blades continue to operate for a moment to clean and be ready for the next cycle. Paper strips or pieces are deposited into the waste bin, which can be easily removed for emptying. It is important to regularly maintain the shredder. Special oils are used for this purpose, which help clean the cutting mechanism from remnants of shreds after disposing of media. This procedure extends the device's lifespan, ensuring it serves us for years. There are two ways to clean our shredder: using only oil or using a piece of paper with oil. 
What is the DIN standard in relation to document shredders?
The DIN standard was developed by the Standards Committee for Information Technology and Applications and determines the level of confidentiality preserved by documents processed by a shredder. The current DIN 66399 standard was introduced in 2012 and defines up to seven levels of document security. These levels are described by the symbol P followed by a digit. The higher the digit, the more accurately paper documents are processed and the more difficult they are to reconstruct. Remnants of shredded documents can take the form of strips or pieces of various dimensions. The smaller the pieces or strips, the lower the risk of reconstructing data contained in shredded documents. In simpler terms, the DIN standard is nothing more than the size and form of disposed data.
Which DIN standard shredder to choose?
The choice of a shredder with a specific DIN standard is determined by its purpose and the individual preferences of the user. Shredders with security classes up to P-3 are suitable for processing documents in domestic conditions. Models with DIN levels P-4 and P-5 are an optimal solution that will be sufficient for all types of commercial, service, library, and other public institutions. Class P-6 and P-7 is dedicated to institutions and government organizations, where unauthorized access to secret documents could have particularly serious consequences.

How to Care for the Environment with HDWR Shredders?
A document shredder is not only data protection but also helps to care for the environment. We can use it to dispose of old cardboard, which works great as padding for shipped packages. Make sure your shredder is capable of cutting cardboard, then feed it into the device. The resulting strips or small pieces of cardboard will protect the contents of the package from damage during transport. This approach saves on disposable packing materials and contributes to environmental protection. Thanks to the document shredder, we take care of the planet and set an example of responsible and resourceful use of available resources for others.
