HSM SECURIO B26 - 1/16" x 5/8" with External Automatic Oiler - HSM18024

This is the SECURIO B26 in its P-5 form with HSM’s external automatic oiler fitted. The cut, the motor, the 12.2-inch throat and the 55-litre bin are identical to the standard 1.9 x 15 mm B26 — the difference is a side-mounted oil bottle that lubricates the cutting cylinders continuously instead of relying on someone to do it monthly.

Fine-cut heads are the ones that punish neglected lubrication hardest. At 1.9 x 15 mm the cylinders are doing far more work per sheet than a strip-cut head, and a dry P-5 machine gives back sheet capacity first and then jams. If the shredder lives in a corridor and belongs to no one in particular, this version is the one that will still be shredding 9-11 sheets in year three.

Key Features

• External automatic oiler — meters oil onto the cutting cylinders in use, so lubrication tracks paper volume rather than a forgotten calendar reminder.
• P-5 at 1.9 x 15 mm — 28.5 mm² particles against the 30 mm² DIN 66399 limit — the usual specification for HR, payroll and patient records.
• 9-11 sheets per pass — HSM’s figure at 80 g/m²; 11-13 sheets on lighter 70 g/m² stock.
• 55-litre pull-out bin, about 700 sheets — front-loading container; no lifting the cutting head to empty.
• Lifetime cutting-cylinder warranty — covered, because HSM’s lifetime cylinder warranty runs from P-2 to P-5 and stops there.
• 0.1 W EcoSmart standby — no meaningful cost to leaving it switched on.
• Approximately 55 dB(A) at idle — suitable for an occupied office rather than a plant room.

Specifications

HSM’s B26 series data lists the oiler-equipped cabinet at 547 mm wide against 497 mm for the standard machine, while the individual article datasheet still prints the standard cabinet dimensions. Allow roughly two extra inches of side clearance and measure before fitting this into a tight alcove.

What’s in the Box

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

Choose this over the plain 1.9 x 15 mm B26 when the machine is shared, unsupervised, and expected to hold its rated throughput for years. It also makes sense where facilities staff maintain equipment across several sites and would rather not schedule a shredder-oiling visit.

It is poor value for a single-user machine that one person will happily oil, or for low-volume use where the cylinders barely accumulate hours. It is also the wrong machine if you actually need more bin: the SECURIO B32 at the same 1.9 x 15 mm cut holds about 1,043 sheets in 82 litres and is available with the same oiler. For P-6 or finer, look at the B26 at 0.78 x 11 mm — but note the lifetime cylinder warranty does not follow you there.
