Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
What security level does the PT175OS achieve?
The PT175OS achieves P-7 security level for paper (0.8 x 4.5mm particles) and O-6 for optical media (1.2 x 2mm particles). This is the highest security classification available and exceeds both NSA and BSI requirements for classified document destruction.
How many sheets can I shred at once?
The PT175OS can shred up to 12 sheets of 80g/m² paper simultaneously, including documents with staples. The high-performance motor maintains consistent throughput of up to 376 sheets per minute.
Does it have separate bins for paper and CDs?
Yes, the unit features complete waste separation with a 96-liter removable cardboard container for paper particles and a separate 45-liter collection bin for CDs, DVDs, and credit cards. This facilitates proper recycling and disposal.
Can it run continuously without stopping?
Yes, the PT175OS is designed for continuous operation with no duty cycle limitations. The automatic oiling system, overheat protection, and robust German motor ensure reliable performance even during extended use.
Technical Questions
How loud is the shredder during operation?
The PT175OS operates at just 52 dB(A), which is whisper-quiet and comparable to a normal conversation. This low noise level makes it suitable for office environments without disrupting productivity.
Do I need to remove staples before shredding?
No, the powerful cutting cylinders can easily handle documents with staples and paper clips. This saves time and eliminates the need for document preparation before shredding.
What happens if there's a paper jam?
The PT175OS features anti-jam technology with automatic reverse function. If a jam is detected, the system automatically reverses the cutting cylinders to clear the obstruction, then resumes normal operation.
Is this shredder NSA approved?
While the PT175OS exceeds NSA security requirements for particle size, it is NOT on the NSA Evaluated Products List (EPL). It should not be used for destroying Optical Storage Devices containing TS/SCI/CUI classified information. Contact us for NSA EPL-approved alternatives if required.
Maintenance & Support
How often does it need oiling?
The PT175OS features an automatic oiling system that maintains the cutting cylinders without manual intervention. The i-Control panel will indicate when the oil reservoir needs refilling, typically after extended use.
What warranty coverage is included?
The unit includes a 1-year warranty on parts, 90 days labor (CONUS only), and 1-year warranty on cutting cylinders from manufacturing defects. German engineering ensures minimal maintenance requirements.
Can it be moved between departments?
Yes, the PT175OS is equipped with heavy-duty castors for easy mobility. Despite its 92kg weight, it can be easily moved between departments as needed.
What payment methods are accepted?
We accept all major credit cards, checks, and ACH transfers. Terms are Pre-Pay with immediate shipping upon payment confirmation. The unit is in stock and ready for delivery.
