Description

Among the Pure machines that reach DIN 66399 P-4, the Pure 740 with the 4.5 x 30 mm head is the one you buy for the feed opening. Four hundred millimetres is 90 mm wider than the Pure 630 and 70 mm wider than the Pure 830, and on a machine used by a dozen people that width is what stops the queue.

The rest of the specification is solidly mid-range: 21 to 22 sheets a pass at 80 g/m2, a 145 litre bin holding roughly 1,860 shredded sheets, a 700 W motor and about 56 dB(A) at idle. It is a departmental machine that behaves like one.

Key Features

  • 400 mm feed opening on a P-4 machine. Wide-format documents, folded plans and tabloid printouts go in without folding, and casual handfuls of loose paper feed cleanly.
  • 4.5 x 30 mm particles, 135 mm2. Comfortably inside the 160 mm2 DIN 66399 sets as the P-4 ceiling.
  • 1,860 shredded sheets per bin. HSM's collection figure for the 145 litre bin with this head - about 70 percent more than the same bin behind the strip-cut version, because particle waste settles.
  • Rated E-3|F-1|O-3|P-4|T-4. Film, optical discs, magnetic carriers, cards, staples and paper clips are all within specification.
  • Automatic start/stop, standby and full-bin cut-out. The machine manages its own idle state and stops before it packs a full bin back into the cutting head.
  • Lifetime cutting-roller warranty. P-4 sits inside the P-2 to P-5 band HSM covers for its induction-hardened solid steel rollers.
  • Continuous-duty construction. This is not a machine with a five-minute run time and a thirty-minute cool-down. The Pure 740 is built to keep going for as long as paper is being fed into it, which is what separates a departmental shredder from a desk-side one.
  • Castors and a wide cabinet door. The bag frame lifts out through a full-width opening rather than being wrestled up past the cutting head, and the whole cabinet rolls when the floor plan changes.

What's in the Box

Complete floor cabinet on castors, collecting bag frame, power lead. Waste bags are not included and the bin takes a 145 litre liner. This version has no automatic oiler - the Pure 740 with external automatic oiler is the same machine with the pump fitted, and is the version to choose if the shredder will be shared.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

This is the machine for a department of ten to fifteen people that shreds to a P-4 standard and wants the widest throat it can get at this price. If your paper is not uniformly letter-size - drawings, wide reports, folded plans, mixed archive material - the 400 mm opening is worth more than any other single specification on the page.

Do not buy it if the width is irrelevant to you: the Pure 630 has the identical cutting head and a 130 litre bin in a narrower cabinet for less money. Do not buy it if nobody will oil it - choose the external automatic oiler version. And if you are shredding at a volume where bin changes dominate, the Pure 740 max carries 240 litres and roughly 2,950 sheets with the oiler fitted as standard.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the extra 90 mm of throat width buy me over the Pure 630?

Two things. Wide media fits: ledger (279 mm) and A3 (297 mm) go in unfolded, which the 310 mm Pure 630 also manages, but folded plans and continuous stationery up to 400 mm only fit here. And shared machines feed faster, because users can drop a rough handful in rather than aligning it. If neither applies, the 630 saves you money for the same security.

Is 21 sheets a low figure for a machine this size?

It is normal for a P-4 particle cut. Cutting a page into 135 mm2 fragments takes far more work per sheet than cutting it into strips, which is why the strip-cut Pure 740 manages 35 to 37 on the same motor. If a higher sheet count matters more to you than the security class, the strip-cut version exists - but it is P-2, and that is a genuine downgrade rather than a variation.

How long before the bin needs emptying?

About 1,860 shredded sheets, which is HSM's published collection figure for the 145 litre bin with this cutting head. A department destroying 400 pages a day gets roughly a working week from one bin. The machine stops automatically when the bin is full, so the failure mode is a stopped shredder rather than an overflow. If weekly bin changes are still too frequent for you, the Pure 740 max holds 240 litres and about 2,950 sheets.

Does it shred CDs, DVDs and credit cards?

Yes. The classification is O-3 for optical media and T-4 for magnetic carriers, alongside F-1 for film and P-4 for paper. Feed discs and cards singly. If you routinely destroy large batches of optical media, expect faster roller wear than paper-only use and consider a dedicated media destroyer for that stream.

Is this NSA approved for classified material?

No. NSA/CSS 02-01 requires a particle no larger than 1 mm x 5 mm and requires the specific model to appear on the NSA Evaluated Products List. A 4.5 x 30 mm P-4 particle is far larger than that threshold. This is a commercial-confidentiality machine, not a classified-destruction machine.

How much oil does a particle-cut head actually need?

HSM's guidance for particle-cut Pure machines is lubrication at each bin change under normal use. That is more attention than a strip-cut machine needs, and it is the reason the oiler version of this model exists. Skipping it does not break the machine immediately; it erodes sheet capacity over months until the shredder feels tired.

What happens if someone feeds a stack that is too thick?

The feed has overload protection: the rollers stop and reverse, returning the wad rather than stalling against it. You pull the paper out, split the stack and carry on. It is a nuisance rather than a fault, and it is far better than the alternative on cheaper machines, which is a stalled head that has to be cleared by hand. Twenty-one to twenty-two sheets is the tested figure, so keep handfuls around that size.
