Micro-Cut P-5 Document Security

The Powershred 450M uses 2 × 12mm Micro-Cut technology to reduce documents into substantially smaller particles than conventional strip-cut shredders. The resulting particle size is rated DIN P-5 for paper, making the machine suitable for businesses and individuals who require a higher level of document security for confidential paperwork.

9-Sheet Shredding Capacity

The shredder can process up to 9 sheets per pass under the manufacturer's specified test conditions. Fellowes notes that paper weight, humidity and electrical conditions can affect actual sheet capacity, so the 9-sheet figure should be treated as the maximum rated capacity rather than a requirement for every document load.

Auto-Reverse Jam Protection

Auto-Reverse technology stops and reverses the paper-cutting mechanism when a potential jam occurs. This helps reduce blockages caused by overloading the feed and simplifies the process of removing paper when a jam is encountered.

SilentShred Technology

SilentShred technology is designed to provide quieter shredding performance, making the Powershred 450M suitable for deskside use and shared workspaces where excessive equipment noise can be disruptive. Fellowes identifies the 450M as an ultra-quiet shredder for shared environments.

Pull-Out Waste Bin

The integrated 5.8-gallon pull-out bin provides convenient collection of shredded material. The pull-out design allows the waste container to be removed for emptying without requiring the entire shredder to be repositioned.

Additional Material Shredding

In addition to paper documents, the Powershred 450M is specified for selected materials including staples, credit cards and CDs/DVDs. The manufacturer's manual provides specific material restrictions, so users should follow the operating instructions and use the appropriate entry slot for supported non-paper items.
