HSM SECURIO P40i 1/16 x 5/8 plus separate CD cutting unit 4x7mm

Two destruction paths in one cabinet: paper through a 1.9 x 15 mm micro-cut head at P-5, and optical and magnetic media through a separate cutting unit that reduces CDs, DVDs, credit and loyalty cards and floppy disks to 4 x 7 mm particles in their own container. It is the P40i 1882121 with the media problem solved, and it is the highest-security P40i that still holds HSM's five-year warranty.

Key Features

• Separate 4 x 7 mm media cutting unit with a dedicated waste container, so plastic and aluminium fragments never enter the paper stream.
• P-5 paper destruction at 1.9 x 15 mm — 28.5 mm² per particle, inside the 30 mm² class ceiling.
• Five-year machine warranty and lifetime cutting-roller cover, which HSM grants only to P-2 through P-5 shredders.
• 19–21 sheets per pass at 80 g/m² from the 1,300 W motor.
• Integrated automatic oiler on the paper head maintains cutting capacity without a manual routine.
• 145-litre paper bin holding about 1,845 sheets of shredded material.
• 330 mm throat; EcoSmart standby at 0.1 W; approximately 55 dB(A) at idle.

Specifications

What's in the Box

The document shredder arrives assembled on its wheeled cabinet with the reusable collection insert fitted in the 145-litre bin, mains lead and manual. The separate media cutting unit is a free-standing unit with its own waste container. Disposable plastic sacks are not supplied; the replacement reusable insert for the main bin is part HSM1850BOX.

Who Should Buy This — and Who Should Not

This is the machine for a site with a single secure destruction point and a mixed inventory: patient files and imaging discs, client files and backup DVDs, HR records and expired access cards. Buying one cabinet that handles both, with the media stream physically separated, is cheaper and easier to audit than running two machines.

Skip the media unit if discs come up twice a year — article 1882121 is the identical shredder, 6 kg lighter and less expensive. Look elsewhere entirely if your paper needs to be finer than P-5: the media unit does not raise the paper class, and for P-7 you want the P40i 1 x 5 mm (1884121) or, with an NSA/CSS EPL listing, the P36i L6 OMDD Combo (1854123S). And if the discs are the sensitive part rather than the paper, note that 4 x 7 mm is O-4 destruction, not the 2 x 2 mm O-6 the OMDD units on the P-6 and P-7 machines produce.
