HSM Powerline SP 5080 - 1/16 x 5/8 Industrial Shredder and Baler

This is the only shredder-baler in the HSM Powerline range that reaches DIN 66399 P-5. The 1.9 × 15 mm particle cut produces 28.5 mm² fragments, needs a 13.5 kW drive rather than the 11.5 kW fitted to the rest of the SP 5080 range, and brings the machine up to 1480 kg. Throughput is 90–100 sheets a pass. If you need high-security destruction and baled output in one machine, this is effectively the only configuration that does both — and you should go in knowing what it costs in speed.

Key Features

• 1.9 × 15 mm particle cut — 28.5 mm² per particle, inside the 30 mm² ceiling DIN 66399 sets for P-5
• 13.5 kW drive, two kilowatts more than every other SP 5080 variant, to carry the finer cut
• Rated E-4, F-2, O-4 and T-5 alongside P-5 — the highest media ratings in this batch
• Heaviest machine in the SP 5080 range at 1480 kg, which has real implications for floor loading
• An FA 500.3 cutting head and a KP 80 baling press on one chassis, sharing one conveyor feed
• 500 mm (19.7 in) motorised conveyor belt feed — the same intake as the standalone FA 500.3
• 80 kN pressing force, producing bales of 570 × 490 × 800 mm
• Induction-hardened solid steel cutting rollers
• Automatic oiler, so cutting-head lubrication is not a scheduled operator task
• Emergency stop bar across the loading table
• Optional dust extraction connection
• Designed for continuous operation, not a duty cycle measured in minutes

Specifications

What's in the Box

The SP 5080 ships as a palletised industrial installation, not a boxed product, and HSM does not publish a packing list for it. Freight, rigging into position, the three-phase electrical connection, any dust extraction and the strapping consumables used to tie finished bales are all separate from the machine price. Confirm each of them at the point of order.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

This machine exists for a narrow, real requirement: destroying highly sensitive material to P-5 at industrial volume, in a facility where loose shred cannot simply be bagged and wheeled out. Commercial destruction operators serving regulated clients, pharmaceutical and clinical trial archives, and government-adjacent records centres are the typical buyers. The E-4 / O-4 / T-5 ratings mean media and microform go through the same machine under the same certificate.

Do not buy it if P-4 satisfies your policy. The 3.9 × 40 mm P-4 version doubles throughput to 180–200 sheets, saves 130 kg and needs 2 kW less power, and P-4 is what most privacy programmes actually require. Buying P-5 "to be safe" is a decision you will pay for on every clearance session for the life of the machine.

Equally, if you need P-5 but do not need bales, the FA 500.3 at 1.9 × 15 mm has the identical cutting head, weighs 1060 kg instead of 1480 kg and collects into a 530 litre trolley. And be clear that P-5 is not NSA approval: no machine in this range is on the NSA Evaluated Products List.
