S-85CC Crosscut Office Shredder
Couldn't load pickup availability
The S-85CC is a P-4 cross-cut office shredder that destroys up to 25 sheets per pass and runs on a continuous-duty motor. With a 16-inch feed opening, a 33-gallon bin, and cross-cut particles small enough to meet HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA destruction standards, it's built for departments and mid-to-large offices that shred all day.
Who the S-85CC is for
- Busy departments and shared offices shredding throughout the day rather than in occasional bursts.
- Healthcare, finance, legal, and HR teams that need cross-cut destruction for patient records, account statements, and personnel files.
- Buyers replacing a deskside unit that keeps jamming or overheating under real office volume.
Key features
- 25-sheet capacity — shred a stapled stack in one pass instead of feeding pages a few at a time.
- P-4 cross-cut security — paper is cut into small particles, not strips, so documents can't be reassembled.
- Continuous-duty motor — designed to run without a forced cool-down cycle, unlike consumer-grade shredders.
- Heat-treated steel cutters — power through cardstock, standard printer paper, staples, and paper clips.
- Auto Start/Stop and Auto-Reverse anti-jam — feeds when paper is detected and backs out jams automatically.
- LED control panel with load indicator — shows when the feed is near capacity so you avoid jams before they start.
- 33-gallon waste bin — fewer interruptions to empty.

HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA compliance
There is no official "HIPAA-certified" shredder rating — HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA require that confidential paper records be destroyed so they cannot be read or reconstructed, but they don't certify specific machines. The S-85CC produces P-4 cross-cut particles, the cut level widely recommended for destroying protected health information (PHI), financial account data, and other confidential business records. That makes it a practical fit for medical offices (HIPAA), banks, lenders, and credit firms (FACTA / GLBA), and any business handling personal data.
If your organization requires a higher security level — for example, P-5 or P-6 for highly sensitive or classified material — see our DoD high-security shredders.
How the S-85CC compares
P-4 vs. P-5: P-4 (this unit) is the recommended minimum for confidential business and personal data, including HIPAA and FACTA records. P-5 cuts paper into even smaller particles and is chosen when an organization's own policy or contract requires a higher standard.
vs. a deskside shredder: deskside units are built for one person and short runs. The S-85CC's continuous-duty motor and 25-sheet feed are built for shared, all-day use — it won't force a cool-down mid-task.
Frequently asked questions
Is the S-85CC HIPAA compliant?
There's no formal HIPAA certification for shredders. HIPAA requires that paper PHI be destroyed so it can't be reconstructed, and the S-85CC's P-4 cross-cut output meets the cross-cut standard commonly recommended for HIPAA, FACTA, and GLBA paper destruction.
How many sheets can the S-85CC shred at once?
Up to 23–25 sheets per pass.
Can it shred staples and paper clips?
Yes. Its heat-treated steel cutters handle standard printer paper, cardstock, staples, and paper clips. It is a paper shredder — for CDs, optical media, or hard drives, see our CD / optical media and hard drive destruction equipment.
What does "continuous duty" mean?
The motor is designed to run continuously during normal office use without the forced cool-down period that consumer-grade shredders require, so it keeps pace with steady, shared workloads.
What's the difference between Level 3 and P-4?
They describe the same cross-cut security tier under two rating systems — P-4 is the DIN 66399 designation. Both indicate cross-cut particles appropriate for confidential business and personal records.
Can I lease the S-85CC?
Yes — leasing starts as low as $77.99/mo. See our leasing options.

Product FAQs
Questions About S-85CC Crosscut Office Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the S-85CC secure enough for HR and financial records?
Yes — the S-85CC office cross-cut paper shredder cuts to a P-4 security level (5/32" x 1-1/5" particles), which comfortably covers HR files, financial records, and most day-to-day confidential business documents.
What's the difference between the S-85CC'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 S-85CC's cross-cut mechanism cuts in two directions, breaking each sheet into small confetti-like particles instead.
How much can the S-85CC handle per pass?
The S-85CC pulls 23- 25 sheets per pass at 35 FPM through a 16" opening, with a 33 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. That gives the S-85CC a practical balance of shredding capacity and speed for confidential office document shredding.
What day-to-day features does the S-85CC offer?
The S-85CC 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 35"H x 24"W x 20"D.
Who is the S-85CC designed for?
The S-85CC 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.
