F-16XT Heavy-Duty Cross Cut Shredder for Large Offices
The F-16XT is a heavy-duty commercial paper shredder designed for large offices, busy departments, and shared work environments. With a wide 16-inch feed opening, up to 30-sheet capacity, 26 FPM shredding speed, and a large 45-gallon waste bin, it is built for organizations that need significantly more capacity and durability than a standard deskside or small-office shredder.
This Level 3 cross-cut departmental shredder features an all-steel cutting head, powerful 4 HP peak motor, and chain-drive system for demanding office use. In addition to paper, the F-16XT can shred CDs and handle common paper clips and staples.
Built for High-Volume Office Shredding
The F-16XT is well suited for businesses, corporate offices, departments, schools, institutions, and other organizations where multiple users share a central shredder. Its 16-inch feed opening accommodates larger documents, while the 45-gallon waste capacity reduces the frequency of bag changes during regular use.
Advanced Safety and Dust Control
An integrated air-filtration system captures up to 98% of fine dust to help maintain a cleaner work environment. The Emergency Shutdown system responds to voice or touch commands, while additional electronic sensors help protect users and detect excessive sheet capacity to reduce jams.
Automatic Oiling and Energy Management
An internal automatic oiler helps keep the cutting system properly lubricated without an externally mounted oil bottle. The Energy Management System places the shredder into sleep mode when idle and powers it down after 30 minutes of inactivity.

Product FAQs
Questions About F-16XT Heavy Duty Cross Cut Departmental Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the F-16XT secure enough for HR and financial records?
Yes — the F-16XT departmental cross-cut 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-16XT'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-16XT's cross-cut mechanism cuts in two directions, breaking each sheet into small confetti-like particles instead.
How much can the F-16XT handle per pass?
The F-16XT pulls up to 30 sheets per pass at 26 FPM through a 16" opening, with a 45 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. In practical terms, that makes the F-16XT 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-16XT offer?
The F-16XT includes hands-free auto start/stop, so it runs without much day-to-day attention. Its floor-standing footprint is 38"H x 29"W x 20"D.
Who is the F-16XT designed for?
The F-16XT 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.
