HSM SECURIO B24 3/16 x 1 1/8 with External Automatic Oiler - HSM17834

The HSM SECURIO B24 with external automatic oiler is the compact end of HSM’s B-series: a 9.4-inch throat, a 9.2-gallon bin and a P-4 cross cut, with an oiler bottle mounted on the side that keeps the cutting cylinders lubricated without anyone remembering to do it. That last point is the whole reason this version exists. A P-4 cutting head loses sheet capacity fast when it runs dry, and in a shared office nobody owns the oil bottle.

Against its siblings, the B24 is the small-footprint choice. It takes the same 610 W motor as the much larger B26 and B32 but pairs it with a 240 mm intake and a 35-litre bin, so it fits beside a desk or in a copy alcove where the wider cabinets will not. You give up bin capacity, not shredding performance.

Key Features

• External automatic oiler — an oil bottle mounted on the machine feeds the cutting cylinders continuously, so throughput does not drift downward between manual oiling intervals.
• P-4 cross cut at 4.5 x 30 mm — each sheet becomes roughly 135 mm² particles — the standard for ordinary confidential business paper under DIN 66399.
• 14-16 sheets per pass — quoted by HSM at 80 g/m²; on 70 g/m² stock the same machine is rated 17-19 sheets.
• Solid steel cutting cylinders — induction-hardened and covered by HSM’s lifetime cutting-cylinder warranty, which applies to security levels P-2 through P-5.
• EcoSmart standby — HSM rates standby draw at 0.1 W, so the machine can be left switched on at the wall without measurable cost.
• Quiet enough for an open office — approximately 54 dB(A) at idle — the quietest chassis in this batch.
• Handles staples and paper clips — no need to pre-strip documents; credit cards and CDs/DVDs are also on HSM’s accepted-materials list for this cutting head.

Specifications

HSM assigns this cutting head an E-3 electronic-media class, but the materials HSM actually lists for the B24 are paper, staples, paper clips, credit cards and optical discs. Do not feed USB sticks, memory cards or hard drives into it — those need a purpose-built media destroyer.

What’s in the Box

• SECURIO B24 shredder on castors with 35 L pull-out bin
• External automatic oiler module, fitted
• Power cord and operating instructions

Shredder bags are not included. The B24 takes HSM1408 bags (13 gal, 100 per carton), which also fit the Classic 108, AF150 and AF300. Replacement oil for the oiler bottle is also ordered separately.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

Buy this if you need P-4 destruction next to a workstation rather than in a central print room, and if the office has a history of shredders slowing down because nobody oils them. Up to about five people can share a B24 in continuous operation. The oiler pays for itself in a department where the machine is everyone’s and no one’s.

Do not buy it if the bin size matters more than the footprint. At roughly 415 sheets the 35 L bin will need emptying two or three times a week in a busy team — the SECURIO B26 at 4.5 x 30 mm holds about 672 sheets in a 55 L bin for a modest price step, and the B32 holds more still. If your retention policy calls for P-5 or finer, this cutting head does not reach it; look at the B24 or B26 at 1.9 x 15 mm instead.
