Shredding! Guess How Many Paper The Shredder Machine Can Shred
What do you think ?
Gary French 5 years ago
I had to fix a large office shredder once that was making weird noises. When they switched it on it "breathed." The top moved like it was alive. When I took it to bits the small bits of paper you see stuck in the cogs when you put large amounts of paper in had over time compressed and was as tough as concrete! It had bent and warped the cutting cogs and the axle. But the motor and gearbox was so powerful it was still turning and flexing the plastic body of the shredder.
