Offering your small business highly secure
cross cut shredding, along with an impressive sheet capacity, Dahle’s
20422 Small Office Shredder is a great solution for your shredding
needs. Best placed in a central location in a small to mid-size office,
the 20422 is a powerful, quiet, high-security shredder that can be used
throughout the day by your team. Here are five reasons to check out the
Dahle 20422 today.

1. Security. As a Level 4 security
   shredder, the 20422 offers you security that is above and beyond that
   which is required to bring you into compliance with recent federal
   regulations. In 2005, laws were passed mandating that certain types of
   information be properly destroyed when discarded. Known as FACTA, these
   regulations are intended to help stop the rise in consumer fraud and
   identity theft, and non-compliance with these laws can result in heavy
   fines as well as legal liability. One great way to protect yourself,
   your business, and your customers is to have a shredder on hand that
   all employees can use on an as needed basis.
2. Capacity. As
   you research shredders, you might find that as security levels
   increase, sheet capacity diminishes. For a small to medium sized
   machine, however, the 20422 more than holds its own in both regards.
   With a sheet capacity of from 100 to 400 sheets per day and a.5 Hp
   motor putting paper through at a speed of 15 feet per minute, you
   should find that the 20422 is more than meets the needs of your small
   office.
3. Ease of Use. The 20422 is operated by a
   single toggle switch, meaning there will never be any confusion as to
   what mode the machine is in. The switch gives you the option of
   choosing automatic on/off (and electric sensor detects a load and
   starts the machine); continuous run (for bigger jobs), and reverse (in
   case of a paper jam). The 9.5 inch feed opening means the 20422 can
   handle letter and legal sized sheets with ease, and the shred box is a
   snap to empty – just open the cabinet door, and slide the box out. The
   20422 will even let you know when it is time to empty the bin.
4. Cutting System. Dahle
   is well known in the shredder world for giving their machines the
   finest cutting blades available anywhere, and the 20422 is no
   exception. While some manufacturers use a system of stacked knives that
   can bend and bow over time, the cutting cylinders of the 20422 are
   milled from a solid bar of the world’s best steel from Germany. Dahle
   obviously has a lot of pride in the 20422’s blades, as they offer a
   life time warranty on them.
5. Quiet Operation. In a
   small, busy office, cutting down on distractions can sometimes be a
   difficult task. Dahle goes the extra mile, then, in making sure that
   the 20422 is a nice quiet machine. The high-quality all wood
   construction of the cabinet absorbs a lot of sound, and the cutting
   shafts are encased and placed upon vibration-absorbing rubber shock
   mounts. The result is a remarkably whisper quiet operation that all
   your team members will appreciate.
