Product FAQs
Questions About V-12S4 Strip Cut Departmental Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
How secure is the output from the V-12S4?
The V-12S4 is a departmental strip-cut paper shredder that reduces paper to roughly 1/8" particles — enough to stop casual reconstruction of everyday office paperwork, though it isn't rated to a specific numbered DIN security level.
What's the difference between the V-12S4's strip-cut and a cross-cut shredder?
Strip-cut shredders like the V-12S4 slice paper into long strips — faster and lower-maintenance than a cross-cut machine, but the strips can potentially be pieced back together, so it's better suited to routine paper volume than documents that need a higher security level.
How much can the V-12S4 handle per pass?
The V-12S4 pulls up to 39 sheets per pass at 20 FPM through a 12.2" opening, with a 36 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. In practical terms, that makes the V-12S4 a strong fit for shared-office document shredding where several people may use the same shredder throughout the day.
What day-to-day features does the V-12S4 offer?
The V-12S4 includes auto-reverse to clear jams on its own, hands-free auto start/stop, so it runs without much day-to-day attention. Its floor-standing footprint is 38"H x 21"W x 17"D.
Who is the V-12S4 designed for?
The V-12S4 is sized for a busy department or shared office — enough capacity to keep up with several people's routine shredding without constant emptying, without stepping up to a dedicated mailroom-class machine.
