Fellowes Powershred 485i Strip Cut Commercial Shredder
The Fellowes Powershred 485i is a high-volume strip-cut shredder built for mail rooms, copy rooms, and departments with 10 or more users. It shreds up to 38 sheets per pass, cutting documents into 7mm (7/32″) strip-cut particles rated at DIN P-2 security level — suited to routine internal paperwork rather than highly confidential documents. The unit also shreds staples, paper clips, credit cards, CDs/DVDs, and junk mail, so material doesn’t need pre-sorting. An extra-wide 16-inch paper entry and continuous-duty motor support non-stop shredding, while the 100% Jam Proof system and Auto-Oil automatic cutter lubrication keep the machine running through heavy, sustained use. A large 35-gallon (approx. 132-litre) bin rounds out a machine built for bulk-volume, low-supervision shredding.
