Short Product Description
CROSS CUT TECHNOLOGY: Unlike paper shredders that cut in long or short strips, the Duronic paper shredder cross cuts into tiny pieces measuring only 4x10mm. It shreds up to 9 pages of A4 paper in a cross-cut fashion, ensuring that destroyed documents are safely destroyed. It can also shred credit/debit cards into small pieces. Integrated into the body of the paper shredding machine is a large 17 litre bin which will collect shredded paper for a long time before needing to be emptied.
GET YOUR OFFICE GDPR COMPLIANT: In line with the recent implementation of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), businesses and anywhere that holds sensitive data are under greater scrutiny when it comes to disposing of personal data. With the PS609 paper shredders this isn’t a worry as it will efficiently shred through paper into tiny pieces, ensuring that if your disposed documents get into the wrong hands, they will never be able to be put back together again by the thief.

The automatic feed tray can take up to 100 sheets of paper at a time. The slot opening on the PS609 data shredder can destroy letters, envelopes and bank cards.

Paper Shredder PS609
Identity theft is a major concern, both online and offline, with an ever-growing number of UK consumers becoming a victim of identity fraud at some time in their lives. If a thief obtains your personal details they can open bank accounts, take out credit cards, apply for loans, apply for state benefits, order online, make in-store purchases, take out mobile phone contracts and even apply for identity documents such as a passport or drivers licence in your name.
Don’t allow this to happen. Take action now and protect yourself and your loved ones from identity theft by ensuring all of your bills, letters - anything with your personal details on - gets shredded properly before being thrown away.
Ripping paper up isn’t good enough as it is easy for a thief to put the pieces back together again, but shredding the documents with the PS609 paper shredder will cut them into tiny 10x4mm pieces.
The Duronic PS609 automatic paper shredder is ideal if you have large amounts of paper to shred. It can shred paper in two ways: manually 6-9 sheets can be fed into the front slot and the automatic blades will shred the paper. This front slot can also shred one bank card at a time.
Alternatively, this electric shredder also has an automatic paper tray in which you can place up to 100 sheets of paper; simply insert the pile of paper switch it on and the machine will then automatically feed itself, shredding away until the pile has gone. This way is ideal if you don't have the time to stand and feed the machine yourself bit-by-bit.
If you need a paper shredder with even greater shredding capacity see our other model PS991 which can shred up to 18 sheets at a time. Or for a more portable model, see our mini desk shredder PS391.
