Cross cut shredders

Document shredders with cross cut/particle cut

Every year, businesses and private households accumulate documents containing sensitive data. Even a simple cover letter already includes personal address data, and bank statements and invoices also hold sensitive information. When these documents are no longer needed or the legal retention period has ended, any items containing sensitive and personal data have to be securely destroyed in accordance with the GDPR. The fastest and most effective way to do this is with our range of high-quality document shredders with particle cut.

All DAHLE devices with particle cut are equipped with durable cutting rollers and offer a highly secure way to destroy data stored on paper, CDs, DVDs or even cards. Shredding paper using particle cut, which involves both vertical and horizontal cuts, produces small fragments that make the original data almost impossible to restore.

DAHLE document shredders with particle cut are powerful, quiet, energy-saving and GS certified. Choose from our range of high-quality products in a variety of models and sizes. Whether for a small or medium-sized office or at a single workstation at home, we have the right office assistant for your needs.

DAHLE office technology has been supplying high-quality items of office equipment featuring the latest technologies since 1930. All the products in our range are manufactured from durable materials and subject to our strict standards of quality.

Our document shredders with particle cut (also known as cross cut) feature robust, powerful cutting rollers made from high-quality steel, guaranteeing excellent results throughout a long service life.

Destroy data quickly and securely

Document shredders with cross cut are used wherever there is a need to destroy data that are sensitive (confidential or personal), highly sensitive or highly confidential. Suitable devices in our range are those with the following security levels:

The more confidential the information, the higher the security level of the device should be. For personal data we therefore recommend document shredders with security level P-4 or higher.

While document shredders with strip cut slice documents into long, thin strips, shredders with particle cut additionally cut across those strips horizontally multiple times (that’s why this process is also called cross cut). The smaller the paper particles, the higher the security level of the device. Particle cut leaves fragments of just a few millimetres in size.

For destroying information that is merely internal and non-sensitive, document shredders with security level P-2 with strip cut are used in offices and private households.

To meet strictest security requirements when destroying data, document shredders with micro cut are the devices of choice. These include devices of the following categories:

Which level of security you require for your business or home office depends on how sensitive the contents of your files and digital documents are. Detailed information on ISO/IEC 21964 (DIN 66399) and the security levels is available here.

Space-saving shredding

The majority of our document shredders with cross cut/particle cut have two separate waste containers, one for paper shavings and one for remnants of other materials (CDs, DVDs, cards), ensuring that the materials are already separated as you shred.

Particles become smaller as security levels increase, significantly reducing paper waste and saving bin space. Many of our P-4 document shredders moreover exceed the standard’s requirements regarding particle size and leave extra small particles after shredding.

We offer many of our products with optional built-in fine dust filters (DAHLE CleanTEC®) that keep the air clean while shredding large volumes of data and ensure a pleasant indoor climate even during frequent use.
