Level 6 DOD Crosscut Auto Feed Paper Shredder. The T-12AF Autofeed DOD High-Security Paper Shredder has proper NSA evaluations and meets the requirements of NSA/CSS Specification 02-01 for High Security Crosscut Paper Shredders. The T-12AF Shredder features innovations not found on any other high security shredder. Unlike other models, this shredder has a unique document auto feeder that allows HANDS OFF SHREDDING of up to 1000 sheets at a time, making it a fast and accessible option for shredding multiple documents while performing other tasks. Simply load the Auto Feeder tray and walk away! The Feeder door locks for security and the Automatic Start/Stop turns off the shredder when it finishes the job.

The T-12AF can also be used for standard manual shredding at a NSA tested rate of up to 20 reams per hour! The advanced cutting system requires no oiling, which reduces the need for maintenance and general upkeep. The T-12AF Autofeed DOD High-Security Paper Shredder has a floating head design that consists of individual stacked cutters. This specific feature allows for cutting head rebuilding in the event of damage; an option not available on most shredders which use solid block cutting heads.

The continuous duty motor is equipped with a super potential power unit for variable speed to maximize motor torque and sheet capacity. A fan press inside the cabinet ensures that all shred is uniformly pressed to increase waste bin capacity and reduce the mess caused by the spillover of shredded paper. The auto reverse anti-jam feature prevents overfeeding and the bag-full and door open switches provide extra safety. Other features include a LCD backlit control display and a low energy standby mode as well as an attractive insulated all steel cabinet on rolling castors for quiet operation.

Shipping & Delivery Information

We provide FREE SHIPPING within the contiguous U.S. Standard shipping is included at no additional charge for qualifying orders delivered within the lower 48 states.

At Capital Shredder, we specialize in delivering everything from deskside units to industrial-grade destruction systems. Because our products vary significantly in size and weight, we offer a range of shipping services tailored to your facility's needs.

1. Contiguous United States

Standard shipping is utilized for most orders within the lower 48 states. Delivery typically occurs within 2-7 business days for in-stock items.

  • Standard Ground: Ideal for smaller deskside shredders, oil, and bags. These are typically delivered via UPS or FedEx.
  • Freight (LTL): Larger office and industrial shredders ship via motor freight.
  • Note: Standard freight delivery is dock-to-dock. If your facility does not have a loading dock, please see specialized services below.

2. Alaska, Hawaii, and U.S. Territories

We frequently ship our equipment to Alaska, Hawaii, Guam, and Puerto Rico. Because these locations require ocean or air transit, they fall outside of standard domestic rates.

  • Custom Quotes: Shipping rates to these regions are calculated on a per-order basis.
  • Freight Forwarders: If you have a preferred freight forwarder based in the contiguous U.S., we can ship your order directly to their port or warehouse for final transit.
  • Transit Times: Please allow additional transit time depending on sailing or flight schedules to your region.

3. Specialized Delivery Services

Since many of our shredders exceed 200 lbs, additional services may be required to ensure a safe delivery.

  • Liftgate Service: Required if your delivery location does not have a loading dock and the equipment must be lowered to the ground.
  • Inside Delivery: Moves the palletized equipment inside the first dry threshold of your building, such as a garage or lobby.
  • White-Glove Installation: We offer premium installation services, including uncrating, placement, and removal of packaging materials.

Please contact us directly to receive a quote for specialized delivery services.

4. Government, Military & APO/FPO Shipping

  • APO/FPO/DPO: Shipments to military addresses are sent via the U.S. Postal Service when allowed by weight limits.
  • International Military Installations: For items exceeding weight limits, we can ship to a domestic Port of Embarkation or arrange commercial worldwide carrier service.

To protect your investment, please follow these steps upon delivery:

  1. Inspect the Crate: Before the driver leaves, inspect the external packaging for signs of damage.
  2. Note Damage on the BOL: If you see damage, note it on the driver's Bill of Lading.

Product FAQs

Questions About T-12AF Autofeed DOD High-Security Paper Shredder

Product-specific answers based on this shredder’s description, specifications, and intended use case.

Is the T-12AF NSA/CSS approved, and what does that clear it for?

Yes. The T-12AF is an NSA/CSS-approved P-7 high-security paper shredder. The T-12AF shreds to P-7 (1mm x 4mm max particle size) and is tested and listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for Paper Shredders — P-7 is the clearance level for sanitizing paper up to and including Top Secret/Sensitive Compartmented Information.

Why does the T-12AF only handle a limited number of sheets at a time?

The T-12AF is listed on the NSA/CSS Evaluated Products List for Paper Shredders, though as a legacy listing it doesn't carry one of the EPL's Low/Medium/High volume ratings — P-7's fine cut is what limits sheet count, not a defect in the machine.

What features does the T-12AF offer?

The T-12AF is built to run with minimal hands-on effort — check the spec sheet for the full feature list. For buyers comparing high-security shredders, that throughput helps show whether the T-12AF is better suited to lower-volume secure use or sustained classified-document destruction.

How loud is the T-12AF, and how much space does it need?

It measures 52"h x 20"w x 20"d, so it is better planned as a floor-standing unit in an office, department, or secure work area.

What makes the T-12AF worth the investment?

The T-12AF is purpose-built for organizations that need to prove their paper destruction meets a specific federal standard — not just "shredded," but P-7, NSA/CSS-listed, TS/SCI-cleared destruction. That's the level of documented compliance that satisfies audits, security reviews, and government contract requirements.
