Tips for selecting the right shredder:

• Assess your volumes and plan for growth—go larger than you think you need
• Determine your level of security needs—shred type is important
• Ask about onsite service suppory

When selecting a heavy duty paper shredder, it is important to understand exactly what types and sizes of paper you will be shredding, in order to determine the correct throat width size for your needs.

Throat width refers to the size of the opening in which you put material to be shredded. It is recommended to select a throat width that is large enough to accommodate your widest paper size. A throat width too small may decrease paper shredding speed and efficiency. The following is a guide to help you determine which size would best meet your needs:

• 8 5/8" -- Perfect for shredding letter or legal size documents.

• 10 1/4" -- Accommodates letter and legal documents, as well as most letter size computer paper.

• 12" -- Ideal for shredding mid-sized computer paper and standard file folders.

• 16"- 20" -- Easily accommodates large-sized computer documents.

Quality products require quality service

Cummins Allison products are designed to provide maximum productivity with minimal care requirements.

However, all machines need regular upkeep and maintenance. The Cummins Allison Preventative Maintenance Inspection Agreement (PMIA) reduces operating costs by extending the productive life and increasing the reliability of these products.

How PMIA works

Your covered equipment is inspected and serviced on your premises on a scheduled basis. This includes partial disassembly; vacuuming, wiping and cleaning; plus lubrication and adjustments to factory specifications. Parts are replaced when needed to prevent possible breakdowns. Your machines are thoroughly tested to assure optimum working order.

PMIA benefits

• Scheduled inspections find and fix little problems before they become big, unscheduled problems.

• Your equipment always operates at peak efficiency.

• The useful service life of your machines is extended for better return on investment.

• Maintenance costs are easy to budget. The PMIA cost can be scheduled into your operating budget -- with no big surprise expenses.

• Emergency service for problems that may occur between scheduled maintenance visits is free (during normal business hours).

What's included

PMIAs include all parts, labor, emergency service, preventative maintenance inspections, upgrades to existing software and all upgrades for new or redesigned currencies released by the US government during the term of the maintenance agreement.
