Fellowes Powershred 485Ci Cross Cut Commercial Shredder
The Fellowes Powershred 485Ci is a high-performance commercial shredder built for large offices and departments with 10 or more regular users. It shreds up to 30 sheets per pass, cutting documents into 4 x 29mm cross-cut particles rated at DIN P-4 security level. Beyond paper, the 485Ci also shreds staples, paper clips, credit cards, CDs/DVDs, and junk mail, so nothing needs pre-sorting before feeding. An extra-wide 16-inch paper entry and continuous-duty motor support non-stop shredding, while Auto-Oil automatically lubricates the cutters to extend the machine’s working life. A large 35-gallon (approx. 132-litre) bin with an LED bin-full indicator, SafeSense Technology, and the 100% Jam Proof system round out a machine designed for heavy, sustained departmental use.
