Product FAQs
Questions About C-16X Crosscut High-Volume Shredder
Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.
Is the C-16X secure enough for HR and financial records?
Yes — the C-16X high-volume cross-cut paper shredder cuts to a P-4 security level (1/8" x 1-5/8" particles), which comfortably covers HR files, financial records, and most day-to-day confidential business documents.
What's the difference between the C-16X's cross-cut and a basic strip-cut shredder?
Strip-cut shredders slice paper into long strips that can potentially be pieced back together. The C-16X's cross-cut mechanism cuts in two directions, breaking each sheet into small confetti-like particles instead.
How much can the C-16X handle per pass?
The C-16X pulls 38-43 sheets per pass at 22 FPM through a 16" opening, with a 50 Gal bin so it won't need emptying every few minutes. That combination of sheet capacity, speed, and bin size is designed for high-volume shredding in busy offices, mailrooms, or centralized document-destruction areas.
What day-to-day features does the C-16X offer?
The C-16X includes auto-reverse to clear jams on its own, so it runs without much day-to-day attention. Its floor-standing footprint is 46"H x 28"W x 24"D.
Who is the C-16X designed for?
The C-16X is sized for a busy department or shared office — enough capacity to keep up with several people's routine shredding without constant emptying, without stepping up to a dedicated mailroom-class machine.
