Technical Overview
The HP CC12 employs cross-cut shredding technology to produce 0.2" (4.30 mm) x 1.3" (33 mm) particles, offering a higher security level than strip-cut models. Its 12-sheet-per-pass capacity handles moderate volumes efficiently, with a 2-minute maximum run time and 30-minute cool-down period to prevent overheating during extended use. The 544.36W motor ensures consistent shredding of mixed materials, including credit cards and staples.
Operational features include auto start/stop for energy efficiency and safety, a bin full indicator to alert users when emptying is needed, and a noise level of 69 dB without load for relatively quiet operation. The shredder's 8.8" (222.25 mm) throat width supports letter and A4 documents, while its compact footprint fits easily on desktops or under desks.
