The F-12XT shredder is a Level 3 cross cut paper shredder designed for medium size office use. These systems protect your staff because they contain advanced safety features, including an Emergency Shutdown system and a shutoff switch on the back of the machine. This function responds to voice and touch—simply say "Stop" or tap the top cover of the machine to halt operations.
Along with these shutdown features, the 12" feed opening is reinforced with steel and contains electronic sensors. This forces the system to turn off if fingers get too close to the moving parts or if documents reach maximum capacity. With an all steel cutting head, powerful motor and chain drive, this cross cut shredder security level 3 will handle thicker documents and materials including CD's, paper clips, and staples. With a F-12XT Cross Cut Midsized Shredder, businesses will reduce the risk of jams and other hazardous conditions with your shredding practices.
If the shredder remains idle or inactive for 30 minutes, the F-12XT’s Energy Management System will put the shredder in sleep mode. For additional support, the operator control pad includes all the functions of the shredder and notifies the user if there are any problems with the system.
To make maintenance easy, the system also features an Internal Automatic Oiler and rubber shock mounts to isolate cutting head noise and vibration. This model includes an integrated air filtration system that collects and traps up to 98% of fine dust fostering a cleaner, healthier work environment.

Product FAQs
Questions About F-12XT Cross Cut Midsized Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the F-12XT secure enough for HR and financial records?
Yes — the F-12XT mid-sized cross-cut office paper shredder cuts to a P-4 security level (1/8" x 1-9/16" particles), which comfortably covers HR files, financial records, and most day-to-day confidential business documents.
What's the difference between the F-12XT's cross-cut and a basic strip-cut shredder?
Strip-cut shredders slice paper into long strips that can potentially be pieced back together. The F-12XT's cross-cut mechanism cuts in two directions, breaking each sheet into small confetti-like particles instead.
How much can the F-12XT handle per pass?
The F-12XT pulls up to 25 sheets per pass at 16 FPM through a 12" opening, with a 38 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. In practical terms, that makes the F-12XT 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 F-12XT offer?
The F-12XT includes hands-free auto start/stop, so it runs without much day-to-day attention. Its floor-standing footprint is 34.5"H x 29"W x 20"D.
Who is the F-12XT designed for?
The F-12XT 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.
