Technical Overview
The MC145 employs a micro-cut shredding mechanism that produces particles measuring 0.2" x 0.5", offering a higher security level than cross-cut or strip-cut models. This fine particle size ensures that shredded documents cannot be reconstructed, providing robust protection against data breaches.
Its 641.30 W motor delivers reliable performance for continuous operation, with a maximum runtime of 3 minutes before requiring a 40-minute cooldown period to prevent overheating. The 8.8" throat width accommodates standard paper sizes and small media, while the 18.93 L waste bin reduces the frequency of emptying.
