FELLOWES Lx50 Paper Shredder – Reliable Data Protection

Model: FELLOWES Lx50
Security Level: DIN P-4

In today's world, data security is a priority for both large corporations and home users. The FELLOWES Lx50 paper shredder is an ideal solution for those seeking a balance between compactness, performance, and high security standards to ensure GDPR compliance.

1. High-Level Security and Efficiency

The FELLOWES Lx50 utilizes cross-cut technology, turning paper into 4 x 37 mm particles. This corresponds to the DIN P-4 security level, making this device perfect for destroying confidential information, bank statements, or personal data.

• Performance: You can shred up to 9 sheets (70 g/m²) at a time, ensuring a fast and smooth workflow.
• Cross-cut: Compared to strip-cut shredders, this model provides much higher privacy, as reconstructed information becomes practically illegible.

2. Patented Safety and Control

The manufacturer paid special attention to user safety. The integrated patented safety lock allows you to physically disable the shredder to prevent accidental activation. This is especially relevant in a home environment with children or pets.

3. Duty Cycle and Ergonomics

This paper shredder is designed for moderate intensity. Its continuous duty cycle lasts up to 5 minutes, followed by a 30-minute cool-down period. The 17-liter waste bin is spacious enough so it doesn't need to be emptied after every use, and the compact dimensions (365 x 298 x 168 mm) allow the device to fit easily under a desk.
