It is the highest security level offered on this chassis and the level most data-protection policies actually name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eP-4 caps particle area at 160 mm². A 3.9 x 40 mm particle is 156 mm², which qualifies with very little headroom — another reason to be sceptical of listings that round the cut size to \"4 x 40\", because that would be 160 mm² exactly and any further rounding pushes it out of the band. The figure on this page is HSM's own, taken from the manufacturer's article record for this cutting head.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e428 mm (16.85\") intake across the full width.\u003c\/strong\u003e Letter, legal and A3 all go in unfolded, landscape or portrait, and so do lever-arch files broken down flat.

In a central destruction room that is the difference between clearing four pallets a day and clearing seven. It is almost always the right trade when personal data is involved, because the alternative is not a faster machine, it is a compliance finding.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSecurity level\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDIN 66399 \/ ISO\/IEC 21964 \u003cstrong\u003eP-4\u003c\/strong\u003e (full rating E-3|F-1|O-3|P-4|T-4)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCut type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCross cut (particle cut)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eCut size\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\/8\" x 1 1\/2\" (3.9 x 40 mm) — 156 mm², against a P-4 limit of 160 mm²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eSheet capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e80 sheets at 80 g\/m²\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eIntake width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.85\" (428 mm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eContainer volume\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e121.5 US gal (460 L)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth scope=\"row\"\u003eVoltage\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThree-phase supply.

P-4 with a full E-3|F-1|O-3|P-4|T-4 rating covers paper, film, optical and electronic media at a level most information-security standards accept without argument.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not buy it if your volume does not justify a 444 kg three-phase machine in a dedicated room. Plenty of organisations that need P-4 need it for a few hundred sheets a day, and a SECURIO office shredder at P-4 does that quietly, on a normal outlet, in a fraction of the floor space. The FA 400.2 earns its cost when someone is feeding it for hours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not buy it if your policy requires P-5 or better. This chassis stops at P-4 — there is no finer cutting head for it. Move to the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hsm-powerline-450-2-1-16-x-5-8-industrial-shredder\"\u003ePowerline 450.2 in 2 x 15 mm\u003c\/a\u003e, which is P-5, and accept that sheet capacity drops to roughly 28 to 32 and the bin drops to 290 litres. That is the real cost of the extra security level, and it is better to know it before you specify.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you are working the other way — you have this quoted and are wondering whether a coarser cut would do — the honest test is whether any page could be traced to an individual.
