As we all know to live in this world we have to perform some activity by which we can earn money. There are many activities by which we can earn money and meet the standards to live in this society. And from one of them is franchise. Franc Small offices have unique needs, and thatincludes document shredding. Designed with the smaller business inmind, the Dahle 20314 is a cross-cut shredder that offers Level 3security and brings you into compliance with federal regulations. The
The Formax FD 8500SC is a central-officeshredder that is designed to see use from multiple users during atypical day. Here is a close look at some of what we consider to be thestrengths and weaknesses of the FD 8500SC. Strengths: The FD 8500SC is a powerhouse of a shredder, featuringan AC-gear motor running at a speed of 33 feet per minute. It claims tohave a sheet capacity of 22 pages a pass, and our testers found that itmet that mark with relative ease (you may or may not quite get the sameresults, depending on your power supply, the thickness of the paper youare shredding, and the relative humidity in your geographical region).The cutting heads of the FD 8500SC are made of high quality solidsteel, and are under manufacturer's warranty for the life of themachine, which is something anyone can appreciate. We also liked thatthe feed opening is extra wide at 16 inches, and will handle the mostcommon paper sizes, along with larger custom sizes such as green-barcomputer paper. We enjoyed the FD 8500SC'suser-friendly control panel which gave us the choice of manualoperation or a very handy "walk away" mode that uses electronic sensorsto start and stop the machine. That means you can simply place yourdocuments in the feed opening and go on about your business. The panelis easy to read and understand so there is never any confusion as towhat the operational mode of the machines is at any given time. Perhapsthe best feature of all, however, is the load indicator that helps theuser prevent overfeeding the machine. It'salways important for a machine that is going to see use from a lot ofdifferent people that there be some safety features. We were impressedby what the FD 8500SC has to offer in that regard. There is automaticshut off if the feed bag is full or the bin door is open, and if thereis an accidental paper overfeed, the motor switches into reverse modeautomatically in order to prevent a paper jam. There's also aself-contained circuit breaker to prevent electrical system overload. All shredders cutting heads need periodic oiling and the FD 8500SC issmart enough to let you know when to do it. You can even purchase theoptional oiling system, which makes the process as simple lowering apump handle. The FD 8500SC also features a self-cleaning mode, whichruns the machine in reverse for a short time to clear the heads ofcollected paper shavings. Also making maintenance easier is the FD8500SC's computer that records your usage info and can display it toservice technicians. Weaknesses: The FD 8500SC is a powerful shredder, but it isimportant to note that it is, after all merely a level 2 strip cutmachine, and thus does not offer you a very high level of documentsecurity. If you need a machine to shred documents containinginformation you consider confidential (and that is FACTA-compliant) youmight want to check out Formax's FD 8500CC which offers similarly highcapacity along with cross-cut shredding security.
