HSM Powerline SP 4040 V - 1/8 x 1 1/2 Industrial Shredder and Baler

This is the compliance version of HSM's compact shredder-baler: a 3.9 × 40 mm particle cut rated DIN 66399 P-4, feeding a KP 40 V vertical press. P-4 is the level most privacy programmes name for personal data, and this is the smallest HSM machine that reaches it while still baling its own output. The price of the finer cut is throughput: 80 sheets a pass, against 96 for the P-3 version and 104 for the strip-cut model.

Key Features

• 3.9 × 40 mm particle cut — 156 mm² per particle, inside the 160 mm² DIN 66399 sets for P-4
• Rated E-3, F-1, O-3 and T-4 in addition to P-4, so optical media, film and microform are covered by the same certificate
• 80 sheets per pass at 80 g/m² from the same 6.2 kW drive as its siblings
• Two machines in one footprint: an FA 400.2 cutting head feeding a KP 40 V vertical baling press
• 44 kN pressing force turns loose shred into bales of 600 × 500 × 400 mm weighing up to 35 kg
• 428 mm (16.9 in) intake width with conveyor feed
• 6.2 kW three-phase drive
• Induction-hardened solid steel cutting rollers
• Baling removes the loose-shred handling problem entirely — no sacks to fill, drag and stack, and a baled load is worth more to a recycler than a bagged one
• Compact for a shredder-baler at 1117 mm wide, though it needs 1981 mm of headroom

Specifications

What's in the Box

This is a palletised industrial installation rather than a boxed product, and HSM does not publish a shipping contents list for it. Freight, rigging into position, the three-phase electrical connection and any strapping consumables for tying finished bales are separate from the machine price. Confirm all four when you order.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

This is the SP 4040 V to buy when personal data is involved and you also want baled output: medical practices and clinics, HR and payroll functions, financial advisers, legal firms handling closed case files, and any organisation whose client contracts specify P-4. The E-3 / O-3 rating also makes it the only variant in this family we would recommend for routine optical media and card destruction.

It is not the machine for bulk clearance. At 80 sheets a pass it is the slowest of the three SP 4040 V variants, and if your material is genuinely non-sensitive you are paying a throughput penalty for nothing — the 5.8 mm strip-cut version or the 5.8 × 50 mm P-3 will clear the same boxes faster.

If your policy asks for P-5 rather than P-4, no SP 4040 V will do it: the family stops at P-4. The nearest option that bales at P-5 is the SP 5080 at 1.9 × 15 mm, which is a 1480 kg machine and a substantially larger installation.
