WHAT IS PAPER SHREDDER?

Apaper shredderis a mechanical device used to cut

paperintochad, typically either strips or fine particles.
Government organizations, businesses, and private
individuals use shredders to destroy private,confidential,
or otherwise sensitive documents.Privacyexperts often
recommend that individuals shred bills, tax documents,
credit card and bank account statements, and other items
which could be used by thieves to commitfraudor
identity theft.

Types

Strip-cutshredders, the least secure, use rotating knives to cut narrow strips
as long as the original sheet of paper. Such strips can be reassembled by a
determined and patient investigator or adversary, as the product (the
destroyed information) of this type of shredder is the least randomized. It
also creates the highest volume of waste inasmuch as the strips are not
compressed.

 Cross-cutorconfetti-cutshredders

use two
contra-rotating drums to cut rectangular,
parallelogram, orlozenge(diamond-shaped)
shreds.

Applications

Animal bedding Animal bedding is one of the most economical and ecological methods of
recycling. Waste paper or card (like news print, off cuts, or cardboard boxes) can be shredded and
bagged to produce a warm and comfortable bed for animals. This then decomposes very quickly on
a muck heap.[5]

Security shredding Document destruction, to prevent identity theft was one of the earliest uses
of shredders. Shredding into strips, or dicing documents, makes it nearly impossible for the
documents to be read after shredding.

Void fill and packaging Shredded material can be used both as an aesthetic and functional
product. Shredded cellophane and shredded cardboard in elastic mat form can be used to package
high street goods. Shredded cardboard in mat and strip form can be used as a void fill for the
transportation of goods.

Cardboard briquettes Briquettes are quickly becoming a viable alternative to coal and other non
renewable fuels.

Waste reduction Shredding waste material generally reduces waste volume by up to 75%, which,
for the remaining material that reaches landfill, is much less robust and takes up less room in fill.

Insulation In Japan, finely shredded newsprint is often mixed with flame-retardant chemicals
and glue to create a spray-able insulation material for the construction of buildings to be applied
on wall interiors and on the underside of roofing.

Parts

Factor to consider in selecting a size

reduction machine

Material hardnessSize reduction equipment abrasion

and wear leads to high processing costs,more
downtime,and material contamination.Generally,if your
material hardness is less than 3 to 4 on the Mohs
scale,usea mechanical impact mill.If your material
hardness is higher than 4 on the Mohsscale,use a
mediamill with hard ceramic media or afluidizedbedjetmill.

Final particle size

Final particle sizeSince different materials have

varying grinding characteristics,decide whether your
material will actually besize-reduced or deagglomerated

Energy

Its a common misconception that mechanical milling is less energy intensive

than jet milling.Jet milling in the intermediate size range(20to44microns)
may actually be less energy-intensive than mechanical milling, depending on
your material and size reduction requirements.
