- Transit Times: Please allow additional transit time depending on sailing or flight schedules to your region.
3. Specialized Delivery Services
Since many of our shredders exceed 200 lbs, additional services may be required to ensure a safe delivery.

Product FAQs
Questions About K-16OM High Security Optical Media Shredder – CD, DVD, BD (Blu-Ray)
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
What media is the K-16OM NSA/CSS-approved to destroy?
CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs, EMV credit cards, magnetic stripe cards, CAC IDs, and SIM cards. The K-16OM is a high-security optical media shredder designed for secure optical media destruction. The K-16OM is tested and listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for Optical Sanitization Devices — it's a dedicated media-destruction unit and doesn't process paper.
Can I use the K-16OM for paper as well as media?
No — the K-16OM is built exclusively for optical and card-based media destruction, not paper. If you need one unit that handles both, the K-16DX is NSA/CSS-listed for paper plus the same range of media.
What throughput should I expect from the K-16OM?
The K-16OM is rated for up to 2,550 discs per hour, though its NSA/CSS testing was conducted at 1,770 discs per hour — plan around the tested rate if throughput needs to match the certification. It has a 22-gallon waste bin. For buyers comparing high-security shredders, that throughput helps show whether the K-16OM is better suited to lower-volume secure use or sustained classified-document destruction.
What should I check before feeding drives or discs into the K-16OM?
Confirm the item is on the K-16OM's supported media list before feeding it in — the 5" feed opening is the practical size limit. Feeding unsupported media can damage the cutters and break the chain of custody you're trying to establish, so check the spec sheet if you're unsure.
What should I plan for when placing the K-16OM?
Media destruction usually happens in a dedicated, controlled area rather than at a desk. The K-16OM measures 36.5"H x 23.5"W x 19"D and weighs 220 lbs, so plan for dedicated floor space and a 115V circuit rather than a desktop or under-desk spot.
