Shredders come in different sizes and will range from
inexpensive units meant for shredding a few pages, to very priced units that
cost several thousands of dollars and are able to shred millions of documents in
an hour. These kind of paper shredders, provided by a commercial shredding
service, are built into a shredding truck. They are categorized on their size
and the type of paper shredding they produce.
An easy shredder
An easy shredder just uses rotating knives to cut small strips as long as the
paper sheet. This type also creates the highest volume of waste. An office
shredder is used for paper shredding, that includes documents, receipts,

material and shred it.
A mobile shredder
A mobile shredder is a truck that comes with an
industrial sized paper shredder mounted inside. It also has a storage
compartment for the shredded material. These trucks can shred up to 3500 kg of
paper in an hour. The storage container for the paper shred can hold up to 8000
kg of shredded paper. Mostly office paper is shredded with these mobile
shredders, but with the higher security risks nowadays, many request for
shredding their Compact Discs, DVDs, credit cards, and other valuable
things.
Other types of shredders
Other types of shredders are disintegrators and granulators. They cut the
paper at random at a repetitive rate until the paper particles are small enough
to pass through a mesh. A hammer mill is another type of paper shredder. It
hammers the paper material fed by a feed hopper through a screen. There are also
cardboard shredders that will convert your used cardboard into new packaging
material. In the end, to perform document destruction of
