Stop wasting time clearing paper jams in your shredder and start shredding the right way, with no interruptions. Fellowes has recently introduced the first 100% jam proof shredders on the market. Find the jam proof shredder that best suits your needs, from personal to heavy-duty use, and a number of models in between. There are three major innovations that make Fellowes jam proof shredders different from any other available.
The innovation begins with the Fellowes shredders’ ability to stop a jam before it starts. As you begin to feed paper into the shredder, the Fellowes Jam Proof shredder automatically counts the number of sheets to ensure it isn’t over fed. A display visually shows you whether you are over feeding the shredder or not; a green or yellow light indicates the paper entering the shredder is within its shredding capabilities, a red light indicates the shredder’s capacity has been exceeded. When the red light is visible, the shredder will automatically suspend shredding, allowing you to remove excess paper and shred without jamming.
The next innovation eliminates the fastfed jam. A fastfed jam occurs when a new stack of paper is placed in the shredder while the previous stack is still being shredded. In the Fellowes Jam Proof models, the shredder automatically detects fastfed paper and shuts off before jamming; resuming once the fastfed paper is removed from the shredder.
Fellowes’ final Jam Proof innovation is the ability to stop misfed paper jams. Misfed paper jams are the most common paper jams and occur when paper is placed into a shredder at an angle, causing the paper to wrinkle and get caught in the cutter. Fellowes’ cutters are turbocharged allowing the Jam Proof shredders to power through almost any paper wrinkles, eliminating the misfed paper jam altogether.
Many of Fellowes’ Jam Proof shredders are equipped with a variety of other features as well. For instance, the C-420C, a commercial-strength shredder, also has an automatic oiling feature and Fellowes’ Safe Sense technology. Jam Proof shredders meant for individual or home use often have features such as Fellowes’ Silent Shred and the ability to shred CDs, credit cards, paper clips, and staples. The use of a Jam Proof shredder can cut down on frustrations and increase your productivity.
