HSM SECURIO B26 3/16 x 1 1/8 with External Automatic Oiler - HSM18034

Take the standard P-4 SECURIO B26 — 4.5 x 30 mm cross cut, 14-16 sheets a pass, 12.2-inch throat, 55-litre bin — and bolt HSM’s external automatic oiler to the side of it. That is this article, and the reason it exists is entirely practical: shared shredders do not get oiled, and unoiled cross-cut heads quietly lose sheet capacity until someone declares the machine worn out.

It is the best-selling configuration argument in the range. P-4 is where most offices need to be, and the oiler is what keeps a P-4 machine performing like the datasheet three years in.

Key Features

• External automatic oiler — lubricates the cutting cylinders continuously during operation, so throughput does not depend on anyone remembering a maintenance task.
• P-4 cross cut at 4.5 x 30 mm — 135 mm² particles, comfortably inside the 160 mm² DIN 66399 P-4 limit.
• 14-16 sheets per pass — at 80 g/m²; 17-19 sheets on lighter 70 g/m² paper.
• Broad materials list — paper with staples and clips, credit cards, and CDs or DVDs — rated E-3, F-1, O-3 and T-4 alongside P-4.
• About 672 sheets per 55-litre bin — front pull-out container on castors.
• Lifetime cutting-cylinder warranty — HSM covers its induction-hardened cylinders for life at P-2 to P-5, which includes this model.
• 0.1 W EcoSmart standby — the machine can stay switched on at the wall.

Specifications

HSM publishes two widths for oiler-equipped B26 machines depending on which document you read — 547 mm in the series data, 497 mm on the per-article sheet. Allow the larger figure when planning a location.

What’s in the Box

• SECURIO B26 shredder on castors with 55 L pull-out bin
• External automatic oiler module, fitted
• Power cord and operating instructions

Bags and oil are separate orders: HSM1815 bags (34 gal, roll of 100, MPN 3310000004) and HSM cutting-block oil for the oiler bottle.

On sheet capacity: the 14-16 figure is HSM’s at 80 g/m², and 17-19 at 70 g/m². US 20 lb bond lies between them. A well-lubricated head holds the upper end of that range for years, which is the entire argument for this version over the standard one.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

Specify this version when the shredder is departmental property rather than one person’s, when facilities staff cover several buildings, or whenever past experience says the oil bottle in the cupboard will stay full. The premium over the standard P-4 B26 is small next to the cost of a cutting unit that has been run dry.

If one person owns the machine and will oil it monthly, the standard 4.5 x 30 mm B26 does the same job for less. If your policy has moved to P-5, this cut does not reach it — the 1.9 x 15 mm B26 is available with the same oiler. And if the 55-litre bin is the binding constraint rather than maintenance, the SECURIO B32 gives you 82 litres on the same 310 mm throat.
