If you are really concerned about the information on yourdocuments then we highly recommend that you start looking at some ofthe cross-cut machines.

Continuous Motor

This shredder is rated for continuous operation. That means thattheoretically you could shred all day long and the machine would nothave to shut-down to cool off.
