One observation in common with the paperless office, is the journey of how paper departs, how regularly this happens and in what volumes. Typically, outgoing paper has been scanned because it is usually of a relevant and often confidential nature.

These sensitive documents tend to quickly arrive in bundles and are best shredded, however often stockpiled causing paper congestion. Due to lack of time, is not practical, nor efficient to destroy paper in these stacks by using a hand fed shredder.

Just as paper is scanned through a document feeder, the same can be achieved when shredding by using an automatic feeding paper shredder.

The capabilities of auto feeding paper shredding machines have come a long way due to the ongoing development and continuous improvement of this popular shredding technology. Today, these "Smart Paper Shredders" even automatically feed stapled sets of documents, just load and leave the shredder to feed the papers to be shredded for you.

Even if paper is not in its original condition, current Fellowes Automax, INFOSTOP automaster and Rexel Auto+ auto feed paper shredders can automatically feed paper of varying conditions without a problem.

Authough auto feed shredding generallty takes longer compared to hand feed shredding, the very fact that large stacks of paper can just be loaded and left for shredding, consumes a fraction of the users time. This frees up time for users to perform more essential tasks at hand while their shredding is taken care of. These efficient auto feed shredders continue to increase in popularity due to maximising productivity and providing instsant and secure maximum security destruction of your outgoing documents.

A positive example of an efficient, forward thinking and largely paperless office are those who ones that have embraced using a professional grade automatically feeding paper shredder.
