MBM DSH0362L 2604 cross-cut 3/16" x 1 1/2" (4 x 40 mm)

The Destroyit 2604 DSH0362L is the everyday configuration of MBM’s smallest floor-standing office shredder: a P-4 cross-cut machine that takes 23 to 25 sheets per pass through a 10.25-inch throat and drops the shred into a 26-gallon bin. Within the 2604 range it is the security-versus-speed compromise most offices actually want — the 4 x 40 mm particle satisfies the P-4 level commonly specified for personnel files, patient records and financial paperwork, while still moving paper roughly three times faster than the super micro-cut version of the same chassis. It is built for a single department or a shared corridor position, not for a shred service replacement.

Key Features

• P-4 cross-cut geometry — 4 x 40 mm particles measure 160 mm², the maximum permitted by DIN 66399 for level P-4. That is the level most US privacy policies map to for routine confidential paper.
• Electronic Capacity Control — A patented ECC indicator shows how close the current stack is to the machine’s limit before you feed it, which is the practical way jams get avoided rather than cleared.
• Automatic oiler — Cross-cut 2604 models inject oil onto the cutting shafts automatically. There is no manual oiling schedule to forget, which matters on cross-cut heads that lose capacity quickly when dry.
• Transparent safety shield — The patented SPS shield covers the feed opening. The motor cuts out automatically when the cabinet door is opened or the bin is full.
• Zero-energy sleep mode — Power draw is cut off entirely after 30 minutes of inactivity rather than idling in standby.
• Reusable shred bin — The 26-gallon bin is emptied directly; disposable bags are optional, not required.
• Continuous-duty single-phase motor — Rated for continuous operation on a standard 115 V outlet, so there is no published cool-down cycle for normal office use.

Specifications

MBM does not publish a noise rating in decibels for this machine, so none is quoted here.

What’s in the Box

• Destroyit 2604 shredder in wooden cabinet on casters
• Oil supply for the automatic oiler
• Operating manual

Shred bags are not included. The 2604 bin is designed to be emptied directly, but if your waste handling requires bagging, the correct part is AC0920.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

Buy this if you have a workgroup of roughly five to fifteen people generating ordinary confidential paper and you need a P-4 machine that will not become the bottleneck. The 10.25-inch throat handles letter and A4 comfortably; legal-size sheets need to be fed lengthwise or folded.

Do not buy this if your policy calls for micro-cut or higher. Step to the DSH0364L, the super micro-cut version of this same cabinet, which reaches P-7 but drops to 6 to 8 sheets per pass and carries only a one-year shaft warranty. If you need P-4 with real throughput — more than thirty sheets at a time — the 3104 or the 3105 in 4 x 40 cross-cut is the better spend, not this. And if CD and DVD destruction is part of the job, this specific 2604 configuration is not confirmed by MBM for optical media; the 3104 strip-cut and 4 x 40 cross-cut models are.
