MBM ACCED21/4 4 bottles (1 pint each) oil

ACCED21/4 is four one-pint bottles of MBM's Destroyit shredder oil, sized for machines that are oiled by hand rather than by an automatic oiler. MBM describes it as a high-cling, non-toxic, non-detergent lubricant formulated for use in any Destroyit model, and lists this pack against the 2245, 2265, 2270, 2360, 2445, 2465, 2503, 3104 and 3804.

Compatible Models

Destroyit 2245, 2265, 2270, 2360, 2445, 2465, 2503, 3104 and 3804. MBM states the oil itself suits any Destroyit shredder; the model list reflects which machines it pairs this pack size with, not a restriction on the fluid.

Specifications

MBM's guidance is to oil generously after each bag change. You can either squirt the oil directly into the feed opening across the width of the cutting head, or run a sheet of paper through with oil applied in an X or S pattern. The second method spreads it more evenly across the shafts.

Why Oiling Matters on These Machines

Lubrication is the cheapest maintenance a shredder gets and the first thing an office stops doing. A dry cutting head does not fail dramatically; it loses sheet capacity gradually, so the machine that used to take a dozen sheets starts jamming on eight and everyone assumes it is worn out. Paper dust bonds to dry shafts, the motor draws more current, and the thermal cut-out trips sooner into each run.

If you go through more than a bottle a month, the eight-pint pack under part number ACCED21/8 is the same oil at a lower cost per pint. Machines with an automatic oiler take the quart or gallon packs instead, since those refill a reservoir rather than being applied by hand. Keep a bottle beside the machine rather than in a stockroom two floors away, since the oiling only happens if it is convenient.
