intimus 9999943 SHREDDER OIL - 12- 16OZ. BOTTLES

The intimus 9999943 is a case of twelve 16 oz bottles of intimus cutting-head lubrication oil, 192 US fl oz (about 5.7 liters) in total. intimus formulates it to keep shredder cutting heads performing at their best. The bottle size is made for hand-oiling, so one bottle can sit next to the machine while the rest stay in a supply cupboard.

9999943 quick facts

• 12 bottles per case, 16 fl oz each
• Same intimus oil as the gallon jugs, in smaller containers
• Suited to deskside and departmental shredders oiled by hand
• Ships in an 11 x 9 x 11 in carton

Machines it suits

The oil is for intimus cross-cut and particle-cut shredders, including the 45 and 60 series deskside cabinets, the 100, 120, 130 and 175 departmental machines and the industrial range. It is not tied to any one model. Twelve bottles is a sensible yearly supply for one or two office machines oiled by hand.

Making hand-oiling a habit

In shared offices, oiling is the maintenance job most often forgotten, and it has the biggest effect on how long a cross-cut head lasts. Spread oil across the whole width of the cutting head, not just the middle, then run the machine briefly in reverse; your manual will say whether to apply it through the throat or a dedicated port. intimus's North American warranty warns that failing to lubricate cross-cut cutting cylinders may void cover.

Bottles or the 4-gallon case?

The same oil comes as part 78839, four 1-gallon jugs. That case suits automatic oilers and high-volume sites; this bottle case suits hand-oiling at a desk or in a small department.

Best for

Offices with one or two intimus shredders that are oiled by hand. If you find yourself opening a new bottle every couple of weeks, switching to the gallon case is likely to be more economical.
